The main point I’m making is that the Russians are a bit paranoid, having been invaded quite a number of times by the Swedes, Poles, French and Germans, and they just want to be left alone.

Lol! That's pretty funny. Did you make it up just now?

They have been invaded, repeatedly - that is historical FACT.

I’d like you to name me a time when RUSSIA (not the Soviet Union, but RUSSIA) invaded anyone in the last 200 plus years. They haven’t. They’ve basically consolidated what earlier conquerers and czars grabbed, or else knocked the crap out of someone who invaded them (France under Napoleon and Germany under Hitler being the primary examples).

I exclude the Soviet period because it is an anomaly caused by a twisted ideology. I don’t believe that the Russians are truly Communist any more than the Chinese are - both have existed long before Karl Marx, Lenin and Mao came along, and they will both shrug off the burden of Marx’ poisonous and demented mind. Russia has already largely done that. Marxism/Leninism required expansion, but traditional (as in the last couple of centuries) Russian culture did and does not.

Do a little research, do a little reading of history, THEN come to a conclusion. As mentioned in my earlier post, I have a deep and abiding dislike/hatred for a lot of what Russian and the Communists did. But I choose to reach logical conclusions based on facts, rather than to speak and act based on gut instincts and prejudices.
