I still do not understand what fuels the fear and loathing between U.S. and Russian governments.
Taking your lecture/rant at face value, it would be hard to see it any other way...
...and one has to assume the Russians are considered the enemy. But, I still find that one hard to swallow.
At least at the peon-to-peon level.
Maybe they were (enemies) back when they were the Soviets and made a deal with Germany (who ended up attacking the Soviets anyway).
You know, the ol' my-enemy's-allies-are-my-enemies-too thing.
Then Germany back-stabbed them so the Soviets joined up with anyone who could help them survive.
Who could blame them? But we were never really friends.
We just wanted Russians to keep the east side of Germany busy. And they were very keen to do so.
Then a BIG factor in using nukes in Japan was the U.S. getting there first.
The Soviet **** in Germany was telling (warranted or not).
So this deep-seated fear/hatred seems to have roots before the world war era.
Hatfield and McCoy . . .
