Just what is it that so many have such a big beef with Russia? Is it the Russians as a people? The Red Menace? That's so Cold War. It seems that this negging on Russia goes back centuries. And, it is so baked-in that many just be hatin' and have no idea of why and wherefore. Like, who knows what's with the Hatfields and McCoys? 

Quick history: There's that expansionist Russian Empire under Ivan III ["The Terrible"] all the way back in the 15th Century. In the current modern era there was the Cold War threat of the territorial expansionist drive of the Communist ideology. "Better dead, than Red!" Boogeyman du jour for long time it was. 

With the fall of the Wall and the disintegration of the USSR the Communist threat, per se, vanished. But, the fear of Russia lives on. Like I said, so baked in that most haters don't even know how come. The Hatfields and the McCoys like. Sunnis, Shias. Dems, Republicans. Notice a pattern?

In some minds, Russia is just as urgently a threat as it was viewed as such during the Cold War period. Witness their unprovoked "Special Military Operation" going after that harmless Ukraine. Oh, the Ruskies do seem to have expressed an issue over NATO expansion to their borders. But they're lyin' no-goods so why even bother to consider what they say is their national interest and security concerns. It's not like the kant from the West hasn't always been to destroy them. NATO expansion isn't aggression, it's purely a defensive move(s). So obvious. Duh!

And, let's not get all worked up on how the Banderite alloyed Ukrainian government hasn't been warring against the ethnic Russian population in the eastern regions. Is that really an justification for Russia to intervene? 

I'm not going to sort out how come everyone in Europe wants to still be at war with Russia. Expansism? Like it needs more land, and we have to stop them before they make their move? It couldn't possibly be that Russia is a vast treasure chest of natural resources, and the West doesn't covet those riches. Forgive me for even thinking such a selfish motive. Democracy is our golden shield of justice. The world would be better off without a Russia. Certainly some would be. 

If you care to read past the propagandized headlines there's a large body of discussion on the why's and wherefore's of the Special Military Operation [SMO]. Or, just go with Uncle Joe Biden who's administration closed the door on dialogue with Russia. Heck, who wouldn't? He's a "war criminal!". A "butcher!". A "mass murderer!". 

BREAKING NEWS! At this time of writing it is being announced Senator Lindsey Graham has died. Besides his to-the-grave full throated support of the goings-on in the Middle East vis-à-vis those filthy Palestinians, he will be enshrined in history for his unalloyed championing of Ukraine fighting the Russian menace to the last Ukrainian.
