I always felt as though we had a kind of special affinity with Russians. I spent a lot of time thinking about Russia and reading about it. I never hated them or even felt a slight bit of animosity toward them. I respected their respect for the game. The thing about the Russians that commands respect is that they are honest enough to not even pretend to expect you to believe them when they are lying to you. And they look you in the eye and smile when they don't expect you to believe them. You can't get that kind of raw truthfulness from the Chinese.  Those glorious Russians, if you weren't trading nuclear insults, we would have been drinking with them. They're actually a very attractive people. They are European. They are family. I miss them.

The dipshits in Western Europe pose more of a threat to global security by their willful neglect and self-loathing than Putin does. Western Civilization, which includes Christian Russia, has done more to advance humankind through invention, art, architecture, engineering, etc. than all other civilizations combined and multiplied by ten. This fashion of hating our own people, of blaming ourselves for all of the failures of humankind is repellantly inaccurate and ignorant. And the outsiders that blame us for their own shortcomings are merely resentful of our outsize success.  These truths we hold to be self-evident.
