The US has a long history of military interventions, regime change, and meddling in other countries' affairs. Some people are shocked to learn about this and try to justify it, but there is no excuse for the harm caused by American actions. The idea that someone else is responsible is childish and cannot absolve the US of its crimes.

The author argues that people should not penalize today's Russia for the crimes committed by the leaders of the former Soviet Union. He also points out that Russia is not a communist country and has a capitalist system with a human side. The author calls for an end to the propaganda about Russia being aggressive and expansionist and suggests that it can act as a counterweight to US hegemony and oppression of weaker nations.
