Yep. I’ve been watching this unfold since the Berlin Wall fell. The Soviets fell, the Russians were briefly ok because they were in financial ruin, and the glow in the dark boys played games in places like Bosnia and Serbia, getting a shit ton of people killed. If not for the Clinton administration fumbling around with NATO there, most Americans wouldn’t have noticed at all. Once Russia started to stabilise, the only delay for renewed government hate was the population inconveniently hated Islam after 9/11 when Russia was a better bogeyman for the arms industry.
