We Americans complain a lot and are right to be penitent about our mistakes - but until we produce a Josef Stalin and pull off even just a fraction of the bloodshed, catastrophe, and horror the Soviet Union inflicted in the 20th Century...we should hold our moral high ground proudly.

The Russians have not fully divorced from the Soviet Union and are far less penitent. And the “collapse” was not that long ago. Lets stop pretending the past is behind us. It most certainly is not behind them.

The past is always with us but so is the future. I don’t believe in ancestral guilt. I am very proud to be an American but we do not have a moral high ground to hug to ourselves without effort.
Our morality as a Nation needs to be re-won every day just as our Constitution needs to be protected from daily attack by the left.
