ha. yeah no shit. lord knows how many
we, and most others, were happy to see the stability for obvious nuke-y reasons. pretty sure that was teh tradeoff. and here we sit now dealing with this shit yet again. and it will be again and again and again all the way down the line. trading human life to ensure we don't kill everyone.
pretty sure i posted this here before, but will again. And without pics to not fully dox myself. a close relative of mine was a top diplomat to russia. stood shoulder to shoulder with Putin. we got into a fight ~3 or 4 years ago on this. He was always saying Putin is fine, Americans just need to get over the cold war. Stopped the chat for fear he was actually bugged. no shit. When I hopefully see him this summer its going to be very fucking hard for me to not go full i told you so on him.
hey look guy who gained power in the KGB is acting like KGB guy. who woulda fucking thunk it
