[Leaning Right]

Way too much too read there, and way too many links (I’m an old guy with a limited attention span). So please summarize.

Anyway, I’m no great admirer of Putin. But how he acting any differently from any leader - like America’s Trump or Hungary’s Orbán - who is aggressively putting his country first?

Putin regrets the fall of the Soviet Union. Okay. But many British leaders regretted the loss of British India. And many Americans regretted the loss of the Panama Canal Zone. All of these feeling are - in my mind - normal, and to be expected.

I guess my bottom line is this: Putin is a devil, but a minor one. The real danger to Western civilization comes from Islam, and from China.

What I posted was a summary. I was hoping those among us who didn't know and/or understand what modern Russia is about would be inspired to learn.
