    Putin is evil because Stalin was evil

    Yeltsin was a glorious “freedom and democracy”

    everything Trump does is because Putin has a pee tape

    Boy howdy, that sure is exactly what I said. I’m amazed at your ability to cut through the apparent meaning of my messages and discern that at the core, I’m talking about Putin mostly in terms of Stalin, and also how I sure do love Boris Yeltsin. You can reach back to literally the only thing I ever remember saying recently about the Yeltsin era, that post I did of an article from a State Department person who was active in the 90s, and reference back to what stupendously great things for freedom and democracy I think the US and the Russian government were doing during that time.

      Your original post distracts from Trump punishing allies for extreme sycophancy to Biden, by demanding extra tribute from the colonies. If you want to offer a different explanation for your Putin derangement syndrome than historical US hatred for Russia, you can go ahead. Russia is not going to welcome all NATO expansion, and no, NATO is not a purely defensive alliance.
