To repeat, you initiated the cheap shot, then whine when one is returned. You're a perfect example of American hypocritcal "exceptionalism" in action, one couldn't ask for better.
So if hypothetically Canada and/or Mexico formed a pact with Russia and invited troops, heavy weapons and intelligence gathering systems into their country, the US would meekly aquiesce? No, it would invoke its dominance over the hemisphere citing it's own creation, The Monroe Doctrine and would bring the world to the brink ( and maybe beyond ) to enforce it if need be. I don't deflect anything, I recite the past to show a relationship to the present and how knowledge of the past can help understand the present and perhaps avoid future catastrophes. Pushing Russia into a corner is stupid, challenging a "murderous dictator" ( your words ) who can set your whole country aflame is stupid. Continuing this dialog is stupid, so I will leave it there.
