Why does the US Department of State still hate Russia, now it is neither Godless nor Communist? Why must it be the “enemy”?

Indeed!

It infuriates me, all this fake hatred aimed at Russia and Putin whilst welcoming all the Oligarchs who stole what they could and then fled into the arms of the western banks.

It's clear that Putin rather expected to be asked to join the western club and was clearly a bit taken aback at being treated like the New Hitler. Huge missed opportunity.

As for Boris - the only thing he has in common with Churchill is his weight! At least Churchill had an actual enemy who was busy rolling his tanks around Europe.

Tucker Carlson was right to be impressed with how clean and pleasant Russia looked - it's nobody's business but Russia's how they run their country, if they don't like the government they will sort it out for themselves at some point. (the few Russians and Ukrainians I have met have always been content with their strongman-style of government!)

I saw you wrote this as I listened to a radio host read a description of the New York Sun's on Pitler's latest speech, in which the evil dictator encourages his peasants to stop drinking vodka and go skiing or hiking, and get off social media and spend time with family. While one of Chiden's associates, a man in a dress, was saying how amazing the US military is now that men in dresses are making "winning" strategies.

"Why does the US Department of State still hate Russia, now it is neither Godless nor Communist? Why must it be the “enemy”?" Good question.

Let’s say - for the sake of argument - that Putin has a long record of having his political enemies murdered. Does that automatically put Russia as No1 in the naughty corner of nations? There are surely better candidates. I'm glad I don't live in Russia but Russia - Iran - Afghanistan?....I know which of these I'd rather be exiled to. Ever since 1917 – and despite the huge artistic and ethnic links between our cultures – Western establishments have got into a pathological fix on Russia which they don’t seem able to rid themselves of. Meanwhile Russia's huge contribution to European culture just gets airbrushed out....Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Tchaikovsky, Solzhenitsyn......etc. Where else on the planet is there a culture with such links to our own.

Glad to see you are perusing the works of Irving Kristol. He was a wise man and taught me much.

Churchill was right, but TRUMP is a fucking moron, and anybody that follows him deserves to be ass fucked in a J6 cell by feral oversize niggers;

Yes, Britain and America have truly destroyed themselves. I document how they did it in my book, "Our Country Then and Now."
