Forget it. I can’t type today. But it’s also my auto-text thing that gives me trouble. But one more try:
1) It would be nice if Russia were more interested in helping the U.S. combat so-called common threats rather than try to rebuild the Soviet Union under false religious auspices. They refuse to move on from the Cold War.
2) It’s rude they host their playground ‘war game’ antics (with China no less) on the anniversary of September 11th. And even with the U.S. under Trump, Russia refuses to help the U.S. address North Korea in any meaningful way, Syria, Afghanistan, the list goes on. All they do is sabotage and irritate with things like chemical poisonings om UK soil.
3) It is not surprising that many Middle Eastern terrorists received their training, backing, and anti-Israel propaganda from Russia back in the day. Like Yasser Arafat who spent considerable time in Moscow.
4) Putin has yet to truly shed his KGB garb.
I don’t know why so many Americans expect impossible. Russia (or China) will always try to back-stab the US and vice versa. Empires fight for influence, play geopolitical chess. The fact that Putin was an KGB agent doesn’t change anything. If Russia would be more democratic or return to monarchy their politics towards the US wont change.
