BAD BLOOD WITH THE RUSSIANS. WHAT HAPPENED?

         

          So the US’s relations with the Russians has reached a low point not seen for decades? According to the US Democratic party, the Russians are suddenly responsible for just about anything negative in the world. The drumbeat of, “You can’t trust them”…… Putin is the most dangerous man in the world”, seems to go on and on and on. The Russians are even responsible for Hilary not winning the election in 2016. Somehow, the Russians and Tsar Putin have become the Bogyman the Democrats are sworn to defend the US from. To top it all off……………………THE DONALD IS IN ON IT! How can this be? Weren’t the old Soviets everything the Liberals dreamed of? The redistribution of wealth…..free health care………… everybody’s job pays the same…….everyone gets a home and no home can be better than the other guys……………….You know…..Communism. Why did the Soviet Union have to fall and ruin everything for them? Why did Russia have to change?

Nationalism:

          When the Soviet Union fell, the world had a window of opportunity to heal a wound that had nearly destroyed everything on several occasions. When the Russian people finally forced change in their system of government, in a process much less violent than the previous event, the West was not prepared to show the new Russian nation a valid course to success. Instead, opportunist  like George Soros, a man who had a huge grudge against the Russians, a man who made his fortune by leveraging other nation’s currencies, set the Russian banking system up for failure and his profit. Why? The story starts and ends with Hungry and the Soviet Union, but that’s another topic.  So, when the Russians were willing to join the West, the assistance they received was feeble at best. A nation that had only months earlier held the pride of an Empire, suddenly couldn’t adapt. Going backwards was not an option. Going back to the failed dreams of Communism was out of the question, but the Russian people had pride, a pride that was based on over a thousand years of Europe looking down their nose at them. Nationalism had never died in Russia, it had simply been given a new name, Communism. When Communism died, it did not take Nationalism with it. The lost since of pride allowed Nationalism to flourish. The only way the Russians understood how to make money was based on the process the KGB had used for years. The black-market. The so called Russian Mob, was the example and from that example, legitimate businesses were developed. Now, Western corporations, such as oil, were all too willing to make a deal with any Russian agency that appeared to look like a legitimate company. And so………… the foundation of the new Russian Empire was built and it needed a leader……………a leader who understood how the rest of the Western Economic world worked and just how ruthless it could be. George Soros was not an anomaly to the new Russian government. He was just another example of how corrupt this thing called a Free Market Enterprise really was. But, if there was one thing the Russians knew how to be, it was ruthless! It was the foundation of their new leader, a leader who had one dream; to establish the Russian Empire. An Empire not based on the hollow dreams of Communism, but an Empire built on power…..fear……. and most of all………….respect. Putin came to power and his symbol was not what the  Liberals in the US or Europe wanted to see. A Nationalistic leader who would do whatever it took to reach his dream. A leader who supported ruthless aggression if needed and doing it all with a grin on his face. To the Liberals who dreamed of a Utopic State of balanced wealth, Putin was the Devil. To them,  the Conservatives had forced the destruction of the one form of government that allowed everyone to be equal regardless of the cost and even worse, they were responsible for the rise of the one they now feared…………..Putin………The new Tsar of the new Russia.

From Bad to Worse:

          There’s an old saying, “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it does”! Well, that is exactly what happened. NATO. NATO and the Western promise not to move into the old Soviet States of Eastern Europe. That promise was broken. That single issue, NATO, became the centerpiece of Western / Russian tension. From that point on, just about every issue between the US and Russia became inflamed.

          There is another old truism, every major event has a defining moment, a moment when change takes place, change that may or may not be anticipated. That moment took place in 2014. It took place as the words from the President of the United States were spoken. “ Russia is a Regional Power that threatens it’s neighbors out of weakness”! Now, just imagine how these words impacted a person like Putin. Just imagine how this foolish statement impacted the man who dreamed of rebuilding the Russian Empire. Just think of how those words sounded to the common citizens on the streets of Moscow. What amount of energy would Putin place into his dream now? What other tools did he have in his possession. This statement burned into the mind of the Nationalist and all of those who supported him.

Consequences:

          The Russians are responsible for Hilary not becoming President. Hilary Clinton, the same person who as Secretary of State openly supported preventing Putin from becoming President in 2018. It was the Russians who decided to disrupt the US elections and it was the Russians who gave the US Donald Trump. These are the delusional thoughts of the Progressive Liberals who now dominate one party of the US’s two party system. Who is responsible for the actions of the Russians? Who is responsible for the flow of immigrants into Europe with the intent of destabilizing every government in the EU? Who is responsible for turning Syria into a Super Power Proxy War? The Liberal Left need only look into the mirror. President Obama cost Hilary Clinton the White House, but that’s not that unexpected given the fact the Obama’s hated the Clintons anyway. Yes, when you say the wrong things at the right time, when you allow Thieves like Soros to make first contact with a wounded Enemy, then the results are almost predictable.  Why has the relationship with Russia deteriorated so far? Idiots, that’s why, but then again, it seems Idiots are popular when it comes to politics.
