the Western order, the most successful—and powerful—security arrangement in human history
If Stalin and his Cold War successors could see what Trump and Putin have created, and how the mighty United States has been humbled and humiliated, they might think that their evil hopes were not wrong, but only that they dreamed them too early.
Damn. All it takes is a president being 15% less bloodthirsty towards Russia and libs chime in with nonsense like “communism has defeated America! 😡”
Evil hopes. Say what you will about Stalin and further USSR leadership, or Putin for that matter (whom I’d be more inclined to label as “evil”, whatever that means), but to paint them as mustache-twirling villains really bares the level of analysis the writer is on.
And more frustrating, this sort of shit that would be considered too on-the-nose if it were in a movie is perfectly fine and normal to most people and begets suspicion if you don’t treat the evil enemy as literal Satan.
Oh dope, we dropped all sanctions then?
What are the odds this guy blindly defends Israel?
shit. now putin is finished, because while it’s dangerous to be america’s enemy, to be its friend is fatal.
“Well, fuck”
