BB - Your insight is compelling. I was 13 when The Day After was shown on network TV. I remember Sting's "Russians". I clearly remember Reagan's Evil Empire speech. The Rambo movies, Rocky IV, and all the continual casting of Russians as amoral killers...

The constant fear-porn stoked my prejudicial opinion that 'The Russians' were warmongers and a deadly life threat.

Despite all of my conditioning, Putin never quite fit that mold for me. But it wasn't until Trump was elected that I saw him as a Russian Trump minus the internal headwinds DJT faced from the DS.

Your writing is eloquent and engaging, and more important, it's meaningful. Thank you.

I'm off to Part II.

Stellar work, BB. I'm enjoying this series very much. We're long past due to learn the truth about "our brothers and sisters in the Far East". Thank you so much for your contribution to Our Great Awakening. God Bless you.
