This should really upset the FR Putin butt kissers. Can’t understand why they are allowed to remain here. Weird.

All that stuff fed to the Arabs about Jews killing and eating Arab babies came directly from Moscow, starting in the 60s. The Soviets invented that crap.

Trump, in Warsaw Speech, Criticizes Russia’s ‘Destabilizing’ Role in Ukraine, Syria

The president also reaffirmed his commitment to NATO’s mutual-defense pact

Jul 6, 2017

President Trump called Russia a “destabilizing” influence in Europe and the Middle East, and urged it to “join the community of responsible nations,” in his strongest remarks yet against the regime of Vladimir Putin, whom he is scheduled to meet Friday in Hamburg for the first time.

His remarks in Warsaw’s Krasinski Square, which marks the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, came after the U.S. agreed to sell Patriot missiles to Poland. The president also used the opportunity to reiterate the NATO commitment to mutual defense, a declaration he did not make during the NATO summit in May, prompting consternation among U.S. allies wary of Russia’s ambitions.

“To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstrated—not merely with its words but with its actions—that we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual-defense commitment,” Trump said Thursday. “Words are easy, but actions are what matters. And for its own protection, Europe, and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this, Europe must do more.”

Trump has repeatedly said NATO members must spend more on defense—a position in line with past U.S. administrations. But he has been criticized because he appeared to suggest U.S. commitment to mutual defense was predicated on its allies’ defense spending. ...”

I don’t know how Putin thinks, but if he wanted to earn the trust (and indeed love) of right-wing people and movements, as well as strike a clear differentiation in everyone’s mind between the previous Soviet Union vs. present day Russia - he would admit to, and reveal the exact methods and facts of, the Soviet Union and Comintern’s cultural attack on the West.

Lol.
McCain, the Ayatollah of Russophobe nuts,
was a victim of USSR’s “terrorism”.

He was locked and beaten by USSR-backed Vietnam.

There is excitement and romance in fomenting revolution, especially if someone else is doing the dying. This is one reason the psychopathic killer Che Guevara still has his ugly mug plastered on undergraduate t-shirts. These are proxy wars when to fight a real one might get one's cities incinerated, but that doesn't mean they're cheap wars. This was an immense program on the part of the Soviet Union, decades long, world-wide in scope and ruinous in expense - that steady cash drain helped contribute to the fall of the Soviet Union. Avoiding that expense was the motivation behind Iran-Contra, wherein the U.S. attempted to defray the expense by linking Iran and Nicaragua. It has been the reason that both Saudi Arabia and Iran now find themselves in difficult straits with respect to cash reserves.

Along the way an awful lot of people, most of them innocent, had to die. I don't see the glory in this, but the t-shirts still sell.

The democrat party is doing the same thing here with riots and using thugs to attack.
