[quote=YINDUFFY,297338]Ever since the early 1800's Russia has been a friend of the United States. During the American Civil War the Russian Government supported the US Federal Govt. In a show of solidarity when there was a fear that France and England would side with the Rebel Confederate government, the Russian Navy sailed to the US and visited New York in a veiled threat to the other countries that Russia would stand by the US. 
     It was in New Hampshire that the US President helped Russia and Japan end their war in 1905.  During the First World War US factories supplied arms and ammunition to the Russian Army. US soldiers and sailors fought against the early Bolshivek troops overthrowing the Czarist Government. During the Second World War the US provided food, clothing, ammunition, aircraft, tanks, trucks and jeeps to the Stalin Government.
    When the Stalin Govt. imposed the "Iron Curtain" ( A term coined by Winston Churchill) they chose to consolidate their gains from WW2 ( Latvia, Estonia,Poland, East Germany, North Korea and others) and created fear of the West as a tool to bond their peoples and make an excuse for the hardships the people experienced. 
   Today we see Putin employing the same tricks; creating fear among his people as a way to ensure their loyalty - not to Russia but to him.
   It is an old trick and it still works.[/quote]
