Yeah, the goal was to remind him that we know a past he wants to deny, but it came off as insulting him for who he is and where he’s from. It gave us the outcome we wanted (a pissed off Trump, and it’s arguable that he never cared about it) at the expense of using their own tactics against them (othering people because of factors they can’t control) and honestly it didn’t feel right.

You should check out the military. It’s downright communism with a thick coat of red/white/blue paint.

None of the rest of the terms matter a lick if Ukraine is barred from joining NATO. That’d be gift wrapping Ukraine for Russia.
