Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, etal. all laughing from that great dacha in the sky. A puppet/tool was installed in the Oval Office, complete with a complicit Republican Congress. 24/7 chaos has been wreaked on the Constitution and the Rule of Law plus deepening, hardening, dividing and exacerbating existing domestic party confrontations. I grew up in the real Cold War --- crouched under my wooden desk in school drills to "protect" myself from USSR atom bombs. I cannot get over the stunning irony of what Putin has achieved.
