Next, I guess you'll say that Putin was in the KGB during the soviet years.
Well, I hate to be the one to inform you but George Washington served in the British Army before the American revolutionary war.
Oh .. and the French... you know the ones that supported us in the American Revolution and gave us the Statue of Liberty... we had been in a war against them just a few years prior called the French and Indian war.
So by your standards, he should have booted Washington out of the country and turned down Frances help?
The fact is, sides change in world affairs all the time. Don't get stuck in the 90’s. The Soviet Union WAS an evil empire, and was proven to be a failure. But times change and in the here and now America lead by our baby killer/sodomite in chief is a much MUCH greater evil in the world than Russia.
That reveals your ignorance. A lot of us aren't stupid and have done tons of study of communist disinformation and tactics. There's never been a more insidious and dangerous force for the United States and world peace than the KGB, and these soviet structures were never removed. In fact, these "structures" were merely renamed, and now, literally, represent the actual government of Russia itself.
Until communism and its crimes are formerly denounced on the world stage, and de-communization takes place in Russia, there will never be peace. That is why Putin, despite all his Orthodox Pretentions, is still aiding and abetting communist movements across the planet.
