Great assessment, right here. I'm GenX...I came of age at the end of the Cold War and when the Berlin Wall fell. It was INGRAINED in me to hate all things Russia and USSR. And yet...I have developed an odd (though cautious) respect for Vladimir Putin. I don't think he nor I nor most people here want very different things...
I'm a boomer that spent four years on the East German border waiting for the Russians to swarm through the Fulda Gap before the Berlin Wall fell and feel very much as you do about Vladimir Putin.
