re: #98 wheat-dogghazi

I just read that entire article by Pat Buchanan. What a fascinating example of a morality-free zone. It’s as if he’s talking about sports games: Team A (NATO) won most of the games in the past few decades, and Team B (the Warsaw Pact, the USSR, Russia, whatever) needed a comeback.

And here I thought that the people of Russia, and the Ukraine, and Eastern Europe were the ones who benefited the most when the Cold War ended with a relaxation of the USSR’s dictatorship and its incalculable human miseries. So I see them as winners, while Pat sees them as losers.
