>The Russians are the good guys now.
They always were. Some history that wasn't in our history books. The Red Army got within 20-30 k from Berlin. They waited 3 days. The American army met them there, at the river Elbe. They, together, took Berlin the next day. Victory in Europe. Did the Red Army go home? No they didn't. They moved to the Far East and fought the Japanese army, it was like a hot knife cutting butter, until Japan surrendered, victory in the Pacific.
>We have been programmed to hate them.
Not the military guys. The Spirit of the Elbe lives on. Was on a tin-can coming into port while a Russian ship was coming out. (over 5 decades ago). doing maybe 3 knots. All hands on deck. Officer standing at attention, enlisted hands smiling and waving to each other. 3 years ago talked to a Guardsman heading to eastern Europe. Said he doesn't want to fight the Russians. Oldanon said don't worry, that's not going to happen. When the shit hits the fan we are going to be allies again.
