(36,470 posts)1. True. I didn't like the cozying up to Cheneys either
We also need to realize though it's not just a proxy war, it is the Cold War II, it is back on, and Reagan certainly did not win it, it started in 2006 when the FSB decided to polonium-poison dissidents like Alexander Litvinenko in NATO countries. And it has roots back even further; when Putin, the FSB, and GRU decided to murder 307 innocent Russians in 1999.
I don't want to fight the Cold War II, but it would be foolish to say it's not happening right now as we speak as the Russian government lets criminals hack our infrastructure and sends assassins to poison people in NATO countries.

Bullshit. Why should a sovereign nation give up territory to a corrupt aggressive neighbor?
