The great triumphs of Reagan and Bush 41 were converting Russia into a partner, and presiding over the liberation of Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the old Soviet Union into 15 independent nations.

Yep. I actually remember a brief period in the early 1990s where the Russians actually liked and admired us. I actually did business with Russians at that time.

This goodwill begin being p*ssed away when Clinton started bombing the Serbs to support the Bosnian Muslims and it has been downhill ever since, particularly being accelerated when BO was being elected.

Are any of the a$$h0l3s who voted for him twice embarrassed yet?

Actually I thought George Bush the Elder pissed away a number of opportunities to build a good relationship with Russia, although I’ll admit it would have been tough for other reasons, mainly that the country was run by a drunk, Boris Yeltsin.
