Russophobia is anti-Semitism for respectable people. It's not acceptable any longer to blame the ills of the world, not to mention your own failings, on the Jews. But you can blame them on the Russians, and no one will upbraid you for irrational bigotry.https://twitter.com/AnnHulbert1/status/1093509525351608327 …

When USSR committed to non-use of military force in foreign policy - Berlin Wall fell, and Eastern Europe went free. When USSR collapsed - Russia started using military force immediately. It is not Russophobia - it is recognition of the aggressor.

Such traumatic state transitions have almost always involved force. Except for small excursions like Syria they have confined it to within the USSR's former borders, clearly their legitimate sphere of influence and not the United States', according to U.S.'s own Monroe Doctrine.

Also within the former borders of Tsarist Russia, I might add. Their political and military presence in these regions goes back to even well before the United States was a new country hugging the Atlantic coast.
