“In three years, the USSR gave up an empire, a third of its territory, and half its people. And it extended to us a hand of friendship. How did we respond? We pushed NATO right up to Russia’s borders, bringing in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, even former Soviet republics Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. To cut Moscow out of the Caspian Sea oil, we helped build a pipeline through two former Soviet republics. In the Boris Yeltsin decade, the 1990s, U.S. hustlers colluded with local oligarchs in looting Russia of her natural resources. When columnist Tony Blankley visited Russia, he was astounded at the hostility he encountered.”
