Tucker, I like ya but you have a bit of a habit of telling your version of history in a demonstrative manner, even if your version is a tad off the mark. You make it sound like Russia is Tennessee. White Christian strong traditionalists? Close to a century of socialist rule put a pretty big dent in that one. I have met people who grew up in the USSR and they are decent enough folks but Christianity isn't really their thing. The Orthodox Church has a following here, but it's mostly second and third generation expatriates whose family's fled Stalin's terror. The folks who stayed? Most of them remained atheists' or agnostics at best, even after the Wall came down.
As for Nixon's visit to China, he didn't make that trip to make sure China and the Soviet Union wouldn't team up. He did it to exploit the split that existed between them in order to end the Vietnam War on the best terms he could get and to open China's market to the U.S., a dream this country has been chasing since its inception. See Admiral Perry and the annexation of Hawaii for proof of the historical facts on that one.
Like I say, I like ya Tucker, but you tell a version of history that ain't always precise. Maybe it's a trick you picked up at CNN or maybe you just have crappy researchers. Or maybe you know it's BS, like your JFK conspiracy crackpot stuff, a narrative that fits the iconoclastic persona you adopted when Fox slid you into that 8 PM slot and you replaced your moderate bowtie for a necktie. I like the edge, but I'm calling BS on that take. I'm not a fan of the war in Ukraine but I'm a bigger fan of the truth. As my man John Adams said: "Facts are stubborn things."
