“ proud Soviet revanchist”
I admire people who are proud of their country. Wish we had some in our government.
His brother certainly was! I think J.Robert was just a naive useful idiot for the Soviets.
Putin was a low-level KGB agent, who later helped work against the coup to return the communists to power!!!!
I wish that we had Democrats who do the equivalent thing in our country!!!!
“I admire people who are proud of their country. Wish we had some in our government.”
Likewise! You just made me adjust my respect for Putin up one entire notch!
I read the sentence as suggesting he was proud of Communism and wanted Russia to return to it. I wouldn’t want anyone in our government longing for some of the worst times and attitudes of our history.
