RIP. I did my college essay on Gorbachev. Still think the Cold War was the greatest urgent threat to humanity and welcome any moves to end it, failures and all

I guess it feels so good when you get all the benefits and somebody else foots the failures.

Well, 2022 is a year of boomerang.

Boomerang of what? West economies are stronger than ever. They survived COVID for 2 years and now survive bootleg Cold War while Russia is spinning into 90s again.

As EU citizen, stronger? Give it next election to see where the friends of America are going
