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
