My "diatribe" was nothing of the sort. It was, as you say, an objective observation about reality. That you see it as a diatribe betrays your bias towards Russia. I'm very suspicious of all the "whats so bad about Russia" posts lately. They are not our friend. That doesn't make Ukraine our friend. It also doesn't comment either way on America's past behavior.
