Do you still have a general distrust for Russians?

Yes, you don't go from being the deadliest enemies for 40 years and become good friends. Even today you can see it in the UN and other affairs, when the US brings up something, Russia is usually the first one to speak against it.
We and Russia today might not be enemies but make no mistake, we definitely are not friends either.

No - the Russian's were never our enemy. The Soviet government was. I think a lot more people distrust our own government more than distrust Russians in general.

What about the British and eu ingredient?! In Britain we would have had purely 4 minutes caution of nuclear missiles heading our way, as adversarial to 10 minutes caution for the united states of a! I do keep in suggestions the Cuban Missile disaster of 1962, at the same time as it appeared that the united states of a and u.s. were on the point of direct conflict, fairly in all likelihood nuclear. I discovered German at schol inthe early Sixties, I keep in suggestions lesarning of the dep. of Germany into East and West (and about Berlin's anomalous position). on the on the spot we theory that it replaced into an no longer available dream that both Germanies will be re-united. Your questions are from a us of a pointb of view, so i'm able to't answer maximum of them straight away. i keep in mind that relations individuals in West Coast Canada practiced survival camping out in wintry climate in case there replaced right into a nuclear attack. See in case you'll discover the Tom Lehrer music of about 1957: "we can All bypass jointly when we bypass".

Yes I do, not the Russian people but the Russian government. It is funny to me to find out that the people face the same problems that we do, they are really not that much different. But the government is not to be trusted any more then ours is, especially at this time.

The Russians still take every opportunity to usurp our interests and aid our enemies. Putin was a KGB bigshot and does not trust the U.S. one bit. Although they aren't the threat they once were, they sure aren't friendly.

perhaps irrationally... but not really when I think about it... I mean when you're a kid and everyone is talking about the "evil empire" it has an effect...
