Wow...Russia is right and the US is wrong. How times are changing...

Yes, it is amazing if we continue to wrongly claim that it was Russians who commanded the Soviet system. But as we all know now, the Russian people suffered disproportionately under the Soviet Communist system, a horror show created, developed, and maintained by many many non Russians.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or serious...

But yeah, Stalin wasn’t Russian, he was Georgian, and communism was invented in the west, not the east. Marx, a German, got his ideas from British socialists who wrote on the subject, and then wanted it to take hold in Russia. Not to say Russians are innocent, because they certainly aren’t—too many of them bought into communism and forced it upon the lives of people, and founded the USSR in the first place (Lenin).

I was just saying it’s unusual that the US would take the wrong side on this issue, while the Russians, ruled by the ex-KGB Putin, would take the right one.
