Russia reacts furiously to Blinken jibe over troops in Kazakhstan

2022/1/8 13:28 (GMT) @ Reuters

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia responded angrily on Saturday to a comment by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Kazakhstan might have a hard time getting rid of Russian troops, saying he should reflect instead on U.S. military meddling around the world.

Blinken on Friday challenged Russia's justification for sending forces into Kazakhstan after days of violent unrest in the Central Asian country.

"One lesson of recent history is that once Russians are in your house, it's sometimes very difficult to get them to leave," Blinken said.

He wants Russia to be a superpower again, and he thinks the way to do that is bluster and threaten.

However I also agree that we have historically occupied areas for way too long. Thankfully Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan. Hopefully our history of occupation without or beyond invitation is ending.

When he said it's difficult to get Russia out of one's house, I believe he was talking about OUR house, too. They're still flooding this country with their disinformation and propaganda. Their toxic garbage continues to destroy our country, and it's killing people, to boot. Granted, it's hard to get rid of them when the treasonous GOP has aiding and abetting them.
