      I don’t necessarily disagree - hence my adding “deserved or not”, if you re-read what I wrote.
      But regardless of what you think, it had that reputation.

      And it doesn’t no more.

      One could make a case for Putin winning the cold war by installing a puppet dictator in the USA. I mean he said he would, and he did. It’s pretty impressive, really. Not the stratagem in itself, it’s dumb as fuck, but he knew the Americans would be even dumber.
