I remeber playing the old 8-bit nintendo game Russian Attack until the wee hours of the morning trying to stop those “damn reds” from infiltrating our country. I didn’t understand politics at the time and just thought it was fun to protect American soil even if it was under the guise of entertainment. It seems that now it would be appropriate to create a game called American Attack and I belive the current leader of Russia, Vladmir Putin would agree. Putin verbally attacked the U.S. for what he said was “almost uncontained” use of force around the world.
