re: #150 Justanotherhuman

I haven’t read the NYT article. Does it mention anything about how Putin is using the West (USA and EU, especially) as a scapegoat or a rallying point for Russians of all stripes to dislike/distrust? His rhetoric also seems to paint Russia as a “victim” of Western machinations, an Us vs. Them scenario.

Or, more briefly, “We have always been at war with EastAsia.”
