This tidbit involves St. Ronnie Raygun...
In reality, there seems to be little correlation between the willingness of Moscow to assert its power in areas within its traditional spheres of influence and who occupies the White House: The Soviets invaded Hungary in 1956 when Eisenhower was president; the Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 when Johnson was president; the Soviets successfully pressed for martial law in Poland in 1981 when Reagan was president; the Russians attacked Georgia in 2008 when Bush was president. In each case, as much as these administrations opposed these actions, it was determined that any military or other aggressive counter-moves would likely do more harm than good. Washington cannot realistically do any more in response to Russian troops seizing Crimea in 2014 in the name of protecting Russian lives and Russian bases than Moscow could do in response to U.S. troops seizing Panama in 1989 in the name of protecting American lives and American bases.

Them...the American Political Class.....the Demopub Elite
"Sorry but the US and EU members of Them, as distinct from the peoples of those lands, have been well and truly outflanked this time.
And this is how Them, the hungry, restless pack of ne’er do wells above us have and always will ruin things for us. They make us deeply unpopular around the world, increase risk to travellers and visitors and involve us in wars, having emasculated the armed forces of the nation first, whilst devastating the economy.
One can only conclude the long-term reason for this recklessness is to cull our people, whom Them despise.
