You hit the nail right on the head. The underlying rusophobia that has been eaten and digested by the english-speaking world after the cold war never ceases to amaze me, particularly in the face of the global threat that is the american military power. America has military bases outside of their own country all over the world and has a proven track record of interfering in other countries' politics, causing several wars, yet Russia is always the bad guy?

I am very thankful for all the American bases protecting my formerly Warsaw Pact country from being in the pact again.

This is how Russia behaves to us, I think my position is understandable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/russia-opens-c...

Your position is very understandable. I wish Ukraine would be in that position.
