Is Russia our enemy?
I remember the Russia of old where we had good cause to be afraid. I served in the US Navy during the cold war and we knew that threat was real! But is it the same Russia today as it was back then?
The Iron Curtain came down during the Reagan administration and a lot of things changed in Russia. People no longer lived under a central government and a freer economy was trying to establish itself. Former Soviet satellite countries broke off and set up their own form of government. Was it easy? NO!!! But freedom in any form is worth pursuing no matter what!!!
Fast forward to today, Russia with Vladimir Putin in charge is a vastly different country than to one I stood against so many years ago. The economy is a lot freer, people are a lot freer, and Russia is taking an active roll in Geo politics and for some reason is standing against the US Government and our interventionist foreign policies.
Does this make someone our enemy because they don’t agree with us on foreign policy? It depends on the foreign policy. Just because you don’t like a leader of a country doesn’t mean you as a country have a right to changes that countries leadership!!!
