How did an American diplomat manage to graduate from university with absolutely no knowledge of history?
Are the British indigenous to Nigeria? And the French in Algeria? Portuguese in Angola? The countries mentioned by McFaul are far from each other, do not have common borders, and people have fundamentally different cultures. And Nigeria has not bombed the indigenous population of Britain for 8 years.
And the Russians in Ukraine are the indigenous people who have lived there for centuries. This is RUSSIAN LAND, for centuries. And without any colonialism. And the Ukrainians themselves are Russians. Eastern Ukraine is 80% ethnic Russians even now, when Ukrainians are singled out.

Rather, I compare the situation as if Bavaria had separated from modern Germany and they would begin to call themselves Bavarians, opposing themselves to the Germans, developing German sentiments in the country.

How about the war in North Korea, the war in Vietnam, the invasion of Cuba, Panuma,

Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria? How about the fact that the Americans drove warships far and wide many thousands of kilometers from their coast, but close to the coast of China? Or is it "do you not understand this other thing?"
Yes, and about something else significant, Michael modestly "kept silent" and "did not notice." These are extensions of the influence of the extremely hostile Alliance near the borders of Russia. |
