as usual you're a terrible historian

Gorbechev was the president of the entire Soviet Union, Yeltsin was the president of Russia


James Baker promised them both we would not expand NATO one inch toward the east, and then Clinton made us out to be liars when he began expanding NATO in 1996 - every US president since then has made it all steadily worse, by design

we've been provoking Russia for 26 years

The position "President of Russia" did not even exist until the USSR was already in its death throes.

Yes, as I said, Yeltsin rose within the Soviet system, but he repudiated that system almost immediately after becoming President of the Russian Federation and made a VERY public resignation from the Communist Party. His most-consequential actions on the world stage occurred after that resignation.

I am quite comfortable with my understanding of world history, but YOU might profit by asking yourself why you are unable to engage in a discussion without the personal insults and attacks.

Just a thought.

The entire list of contributors to the OT thread, the entire EE roster at the Dept of State, Pentagon and all the Ivies that teach the OT thread bullshite should try to read an agnostic book on Russian history sometime, which began around 750 AD. Of which only 80 years was communism, BTW.
