We won the Cold War
it was over
Great opportunity to get it right going forward but all of these self-appointed foreign policy geniuses got it all wrong on Russia.
Sakharov, Yeltsin, Gorbachev, glasnost, perestroika.....?
Then the KGB agent with a raging small-man complex took power. Seriously, CH, how old are you? Because this is all shit that I watched happen and I remember that before Putin there was a huge thaw in relations and a great deal of hope for better times on both sides. You're either making shit up or willfully ignorant
but here we are ... When I say we got it all wrong on Russia I'm talking post 1989 and the 35 years that followed. We needed an enemy obviously
