not even really revenge, closer to punching themselves in the face.

Putin's rise was backed by the US explicitly because he agreed to hunt down any remaining communists, american capitalists/powers that be for some reason took this as a sign they had "won"...but nope, russia just switched back to doing what they've always done.

if the US would just stop fucking with countries trying to destabilize targeted parts of the world every other 4 years, maybe they would have less enemies trying to destabilize them in return.
