Always Johnny at the rat hole with bad news and worse propaganda. Thanks for maintaining my ongoing expectations.
This is interesting from McFaul:
“When I was U.S. ambassador to Russia, I encountered this self-absorbed mentality often. Lavrov et al think that the US is out to get them; that Montanans & CIA are plotting how to destroy Russian culture. The truth is that no one really cared about Russia, until it invaded Ukraine”
Lavrov: “Everyone understands that Americans declared a crusade against Russia, its culture and traditions”
