A lot of old timers seem to have gone Putin crazy.
If you’ve been here since 1997 you must remember when everyone was actually anti-communist.
You sound like you are more loyal to Russia than the US.
Now it’s like Code Pink has a nest here.
Here’s your statement that made me think you have mental illness.
“ The Russians were still the first ones to enter Berlin. And why shouldn’t they have been? Germany never invaded the U.S.”
I was born in 1947, grew up in the 50's and 60's, with air raids and the threat of nuclear attack every day. I believe the government made everything worse because of the propaganda they spewed. They wanted people living in fear, just like they wanted people living in fear over Covid. This is the same country that hired known Nazi war criminals, murderers of men, women and children, and used them to gather intelligence on our enemies. The whole thing was a big joke, because the Nazis set the rules, told the CIA how they were going to operate, not the other way around. They hired SS, SD, and former German police as agents when it was specifically forbidden, and they were allowed to conduct their own witch hunts, help fellow Nazis escape to other countries, etc., all without the knowledge of their so-called CIA handlers.
The CIA didn't even know the names of the Nazis that the Nazis hired. The CIA had made it one of the stipulations for them to be approved, but when the Nazis rejected it, the CIA gave them the green light anyway.
Reinhard Gehlen, former Wehrmacht intelligence officer was one of the Nazi spy ring leaders. He cut a deal with the government to protect him from being prosecuted for war crimes in exchange for becoming a spy. He was given the autonomy to run his spy ring without interference. By the end of 1946, he had funding for his org, and had 350 Nazis officers working for him, many of whom were known war criminals. What could go wrong? The CIA gave his group $5 million dollars a year to run on. One of the CIA agents overseeing Gehlen's org as it was called wrote to headquarters: "American intelligence is a rich blind man using [the Gehlen Org] as a seeing-eye dog. The only trouble is...the leash is much too long." And headquarters ignored him.
I'm currently reading a book about the paid Nazi mercenaries under the guidance of the CIA. Gehlen and his group is one of the main subjects of the book. Here's an article if you're interested in learning more about Gehlen and the CIA's role in his corrupt spy org:

LOL!! I find it hilarious that you think I'm pro-Russian because I said they should have been allowed to enter Berlin first, because Germany never invaded the U.S. Had Germany invaded the U.S. first before Russia, then the U.S. should have entered Berlin first. Russia never invaded Germany either until Hitler invaded Russia, which was done after Hitler broke the non-aggression treaty he had made with Stalin. I didn't make the decision to let Russia take Berlin. Wiser people than me made that decision, but I agree with it.
I don't give a crap about Russia or Ukraine. They can destroy themselves for all I care. I care about my country, and its borders. What I despise is sending unending, and unaccounted-for tax payer dollars to Ukraine to fight yet another proxy war with Russia. We've been fighting proxy wars with Russia and China for 71 years, ever since the Korean War. The only individuals that benefit from these proxy wars are the people who have investments in the military industrial complex, and in this country, that includes politicians from both sides of the aisle.
Ukraine is the size of Texas, sits 5,000 miles away, and is of no national security interest to this country. We have Democrats deliberately overrunning our country with illegals, trying very hard to turn not only Texas blue, but other Red States as well. This country can't survive what's going on in this country right now. That's why we shouldn't be distracted with what's going on over there. We took our eye off the ball here, and went fighting commies overseas for years, and what happened? While we were distracted somewhere else, communism blossomed here in America, the RATS have embraced it, and have expanded it with the help of people like George Soros. All of this crap could have hopefully been dealt with as it happened, if we hadn't been focused on some foreign country's battles. And yet, it's all still going on.
