Why Russia Is Right

I have been watching cnn a lot (at McDonalds)
because that's what they play, and they don't play FOX.

It is always accusatory of Putin and Russia
and I disagree with its viewpoint.

Grievance
1985 	They recognized the world was changing,
    	 and they were trying to change (Gorbachev)
1989	They could have continued to shoot transgressors of the Berlin Wall
	but they didn't!
	That's the salient point.
	Forget about why, and the guard not getting a response from Moscow and all that drama.
	It was precisely because of the shift in Moscow's thinking
	that they LET the wall come down.
1990s	They disintegrated for lack of a new paradigm.
	They needed our help.
	We let them starve, and tried to colonize them and take their resources.
2000	Putin came on the scene, took leadership
	and has steadily made Russia strong and great again.

	It's a very simple and true story.

All that time, we have violated promises
and encroached upon Russia in ways
that would have left Reagan and Kissinger embarrassed and ashamed.

Even Condoleezza Rice, the younger Bush's Secretary of State,
and a person who strongly disliked Putin,
even she, an expert on Russia,
said that Ukraine was to Russia
what Texas was to the United States.
Then she corrected that with an improvement,
saying that Ukraine was to Russia
what the original 13 colonies are to the United States.

Not only that, our President Monroe issued a Doctrine,
The Monroe Doctrine,
telling the rest of the nations of the world
to stay the hell out of our entire Hemisphere
(aka all of North and South America)

and we have the audacity and chutzpah
to engineer the overthrow of the head of state of Ukraine
("fuck the EU!", remember that?).
and a recent FOX documentary,
"Putin, The Most Powerful Man In The World,"
showed how hillary was supporting groups in Russia
trying to overthrow Putin
at the time all the Arab Spring leaders
were being murdered by factions in their countries.

Putin is not paranoid.
He is responding to real threats, dangers and attacks.

He did our country a service
if he was instrumental in hillary's defeat of herself.

Though Russia lost something like 20 million lives
is their absolutely heroic defeat of Hitler,
we lost well less than 1 million, I believe.
As our Ally in that epic struggle,
we owe them our thanks and gratitude for a Millenium,
if not an Eon, or even Eternity.

Yet we rebuilt Japan and Germany,
but we tried to cannabalize Russia in the 1990s.

It is high time we corrected our mistake.
Putin has been nothing but honest, civil, intelligent, and strong throughout,
and he is an inspiration to me.

I can understand his position
as he endures decades of absurd, rude hostile
Putin-bashing.
Even Kissinger scolds the childish americans
that Putin-bashing is not a strategy.

I have endured, and continue to endure, similar bashing,
nonsensical attacks by brats, that never end.

Putin is my hero.
It's his martial arts training and dedication.
But it goes even deeper than that.
There was already a strength in his soul
that drew him to martial arts in the first place.

As long as he remains humble and dedicated and true
to his discipline,
he will remain the world's greatest leader
for decades to come.
