My American uncle married a Russian woman from Volgograd in the 90s. Living mostly in Russia has greatly influenced him, and now he's a hardcore supporter of Putin. During his recent visit to the US, when Trump suggested letting Putin 'do whatever the hell he wants to NATO' on the evening news, I expressed concern about the risk of a nuclear world war. In response, my uncle shook his head and said, 'Isn't that how the Allies destroyed the Nazis?"
