I am not a politician but I knew Trump would develop a harsher stance because it reflects my own sort of “journey” with Russia. Pre-living there and post-living there.
Before I went to Russia: I had a far more neutral even positive-leaning view the country’s leadership and overall post-Soviet direction. (Despite knowing it is no democracy.)
One lives there, and learns. Despite its modern and even religious facades, the “evil empire” spirit is alive and well. The Soviet Union only collapsed territorially, not in spirit - and the tsarist past haunts the place.
Trump and Europe are doing right. It’s better for Russian people in the long-run too — that the world is holding their leadership/criminal oligarchy to account.

Rose Luxemburg, is it you? One thing I like about your posts is these are resembling fiery speeches. Would sound much better live and not in a written form. That combined with gestures and angry facial expressions. You could make a great Bolshevik if born in a right time. Don’t you? :)
“Trump and Europe are doing right.”
Are you serious? Western Europe are our enemies, not our allies. They are joyfully committing national suicide and are trying their best to force us into committing suicide along with them.
Hungary and Poland are looking better every day.

Why? Let China do that work. Tired of being the universal policeman.
