McFaul pretends to be an idiot by asking stupid questions
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

How did an American diplomat manage to graduate from university with absolutely no knowledge of history?

Are the British indigenous to Nigeria? And the French in Algeria? Portuguese in Angola? The countries mentioned by McFaul are far from each other, do not have common borders, and people have fundamentally different cultures. And Nigeria has not bombed the indigenous population of Britain for 8 years.
A sensible start...
And the Russians in Ukraine are the indigenous people who have lived there for centuries. This is RUSSIAN LAND, for centuries. And without any colonialism. And the Ukrainians themselves are Russians. Eastern Ukraine is 80% ethnic Russians even now, when Ukrainians are singled out.
....and then he goes off the rails and falls into the ravine canyon.
Rather, I compare the situation as if Bavaria had separated from modern Germany and they would begin to call themselves Bavarians, opposing themselves to the Germans, developing German sentiments in the country. Plus, they would begin to develop Nazi ideology in Bavaria, sing songs "our father is Hitler, and Bavaria is our mother." What would Michael call it???
European Conservative might have some thoughts, were Berlin to start bombing Munich.
And why is McFaul silent about Israel in his examples?
What has Israel to do with anything?
How about the war in North Korea, the war in Vietnam, the invasion of Cuba, Panuma,
...is that supposed to be Panama?
Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria? How about the fact that the Americans drove warships far and wide many thousands of kilometers from their coast, but close to the coast of China? Or is it "do you not understand this other thing?"

Yes, and about something else significant, Michael modestly "kept silent" and "did not notice." These are extensions of the influence of the extremely hostile Alliance near the borders of Russia.
