I read today that in August of 1991 there was enough food in Russia to last only a month. They only survived before bloody stupid loser moron Westerners sent “humanitarian aid.” And asked for nothing in return. They saved the people they supposedly defeated from starvation and got nothing in return. To the contrary, they rewarded Russians by giving them Ukraine’s nukes.
Then the bloody stupid loser moron Westerners congratulated themselves for two decades with “winning the Cold War.” What kind of win is it when you get nothing out of it and instead you feed the defeated enemy?
There was no capitulation agreement. No reparations. No Nuremberg trial. Nobody went to jail. Nobody was removed from power. The USSR had created terrible suffering around the world for decades but when it “lost the Cold War” nobody paid for anything. It was “OK, it’s done, we won.” But does the opponent know you’ve won? What makes you think so if you are running around subserviently trying to solve his every problem?
We are all paying right now for that enormous, extraordinary stupidity. But unless we acknowledge it, we’ll keep doing the same stupid thing.
I first heard that the West won the Cold War in a Canadian classroom in 1999. I was stunned by the smug stupidity of those statements.
