You forget that Putin was KGB

Not one poster here who is neutral about Putin can forget that.It is posted endlessly. To which I often want to reply that we had Ziggy Brzezinski.

And look, he is the largest idiot ever. ziggy

Remember those comments on America being exceptional?
"“[American exceptionalism] is a reaction to the inability of people to understand global complexity or important issues like American energy dependency. Therefore, they search for simplistic sources of comfort and clarity. And the people that they are now selecting to be, so to speak, the spokespersons of their anxieties are, in most cases, stunningly ignorant.” ― Zbigniew Brzezinski

And don't miss this

"America must therefore shape a political context that is congenial to Russia's assimilation into a larger framework of European cooperation, while fostering the independence of its newly sovereign neighbors."

And to further endear him to many of us he said 'Now that the USSR has fallen, the remaining enemy of the west is the Orthodox church'

Ziggy wrote, of course, a book - The Grand Chessboard. Ironically it was mostly a remake of geopolitics from Mackinder. I say ironically because Russia now has a geopolitical dirtbag by the name of Aleksandr Dugin. Anyway I don't know how much you know about geopolitics but Ziggy thought Russia should be broken up to reduce her power.

It is important to understand that Putin is not operating in a vaccuum. We in the west have sown many seeds of distrust in their direction.

Excuse me, but that's a lot of crap.

As long as we have little dictators, and authoritarian governments on this planet, we will have wars, little ones and big ones.

Putin is a autocrat. and he uses hatred for the west in exactly the same way as every authoritarian on the planet does, and those are ones who start the wars. Not us.

I know exactly what your opinions are, as I have heard them all my life and they are not new. They date back to the 1930s and even earlier if you go global and see it in other countries.

Yes, we are, or at least were exceptional because we were different.

But opinions like yours are making us now more similar to any other country on the road to utter failure..

This is why we have another civil war brewing. If not reversed it will be upon us with the first catalyst to get it started and it won't be a person like me who does that. It will be a person like you.

Your opinions date back prior to Marx. And they are inspired, and used by Marxists to divide and conquer societies. They have failed in the US largely because we don't buy into them and thus we are unique.

Some call the exception to the rule. Or exceptional.

Go hate something other than America or you will find yourself getting more and more angry because you can't find enough suckers to buy the idea that the US is not solving the worlds problems or protecting other countries sovereignty, but is as you believe, the real problem in the world.

If that idea ever does catch on, we are finished, and I for one would advocate burning whats left of the country to save it. I would advocate a cleansing revolution to save America's exceptionalism.

Yes I would...
