    My theory is that Putin blames the US for destroying the Soviet Union. He blames us for forcing the USSR into a cold war it never wanted and he saw first hand how endless anti-communist propaganda turned the whole western world against the USSR… So now he believes he is doing to the US what we did to the USSR, bombarding us with endless disinformation and propaganda to destroy our country from the inside out.

      Well done! That is incredibly interesting insight. It makes total sense, I think you’re completely right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m going to let that marinate in my brain for a good while.
