@TheIceCream1 How WESTERN and Eurocentric of you to think that. Niccolò Machiavelli is actually the norm in the world. One only needs to look at the rulers of the disparate factions in Africa to understand that peace is the aberration, not the norm.

@TheIceCream1 I do, it is called "The Prince" by Machiavelli or "Von Kreige" by Carl von Clausewitz. That is how I understand what people like you blatantly ignore. You should try reading yourself, you might learn something.

@eduardazo The positions are NOT mutually exclusive. Your absolutism is blinding you to the nuances of the situation. The US does NOT want hostility with Russia. The era of Boris Yeltsin was one of opportunity and cautious optimism. Many folks in the US expected to make a friend and ally with Russia on the assumption that much like the former Warsaw Pact, they were turning away from the Soviet-Totalitarian past. Then Putin came to power and brought back the ideology of Yuri Andropov, closing the door on the Détente between Russia and the West. The murder of critics like Alexander Litvinenko showed that Putin very much wanted confrontation with the West.
