I love how you appear to have totally missed Mr. Gramps point. I believe what he may have tried to convey is that from the perspective of our "adversaries", America continues to throttle them at every turn. The Russians don't separate the american people from their politicians. So when our corrupt politicians do corrupt crap to stall their growth, derail their economy or whatever bully thing our corrupt politicians want to do for their personal gain, the Russians see America, in it's entirety, as the problem.

So to our "adversaries" America keeps fucking them and in a lot of ways through corrupt means via America's politicians.

I for one like his style, I mean "I've been supporting asses like you for 50 years. I'm not going anywhere.". That's the kind of attitude America is all about. Americans bust ass all their lives and go home to the lord, that's just what we do.

One thing we shouldnt do is be quick to jump to conclusions and only read skin deep. Like another commenter said "WORDS MATTER", they do and they also have meaning.

If Mr. Gramps wanted to shit on America do you think he would have done it in a two sentence remark? I know I wouldn't have wasted my time.
