Whoever came up with the whole "blame literally anyone, but especially the Soviets/Russians" bit needs a prize. Its gotten literally over a century of use. Once you notice it, you see it fuckin' everywhere. It goes beyond any historical level of "foreigners bad" because it really is just used for literally anything. Advanced xenophobia I guess.
Maybe if libs broke out of it they could actually see results, but nope, RUSSIA, CHINA, CUBA! for any little thing, nope can't be anything else, can't be domestic, can't be our allies, can't even be random.
That's actually a degree at most universities, it's called "International Studies."
It goes all the way back to blaming Haiti for slave revolts. Americans are allergic to self-criticism.
