The Russia that Americans have HATED NO longer EXISTS

Judge Andrew P Napolitano

… you think Russia wants to devour its neighbors

… If you move beyond Western propaganda

… this war started in 2014

this war started in 2014 with a coup against a popularly elected president

who sought neutrality for Ukraine

… orchestrated by the U.S. State Department in conjunction with the CIA and British MI6

… a series of governments determined to attack their own Russian-speaking population

… and to put NATO armaments on the Russian border aimed at Moscow

… imagine Chinese long-range missiles in Havana aimed at Washington

… Today’s Russia is thoroughly modern, generally happy

… devoutly Christian Orthodox

… Trump understands that the SMO  [ Special Military Operation ]

… has united the Russian people

… stimulated their economic development and independence

… Realism … is the polar opposite of the U.S. foreign policy in the post-World War II era

… That policy is called exceptionalism

… presumes American cultural, historical, governmental and moral superiority

… has driven all the post-1945 U.S. wars

… the construction and maintenance of some 750 U.S. military bases and ports around the globe

… Donald Trump … seeks to unite the U.S. socially and commercially to Russia

… Communism in Russia, the old Soviet Union … is gone

… has emerged a society guided by free market capitalism,

devoted to the Russian Orthodox Church

and welcoming of the West

… neocon elites whose mentality of hatred for all things Russian

… from the Philippines to the Middle East to Africa and Latin America

… the U.S. used force and deception to tell other countries how to live

… The Russia I saw … banished woke and all its absurd fashions,

embraced cleanliness and happiness,

and enjoys an infrastructure that is smooth and highly functional

… the Orthodox liturgy — packed to the gills on Sunday —

is as faithful and beautiful as the traditional Latin Mass that the Pope has suppressed

… The Russia that Americans have hated no longer exists. In its place is our trading partner and friend. Trump knows this and doesn’t care what Europe thinks
