  1. It was been US policy to try to surround and ultimately destroy Russia since at least 1945. This is well documented, the US seriously considered invading Russia after the allied defeat of the axis powers, presumably as they saw Russia as the main obstacle to US hegemony. The agreement between Gorbachev and the US President was that if Russia didn’t oppose the reunification of Germany then the U.S. (NATO) wouldn’t advance eastward, was well known but never committed to a document. That was Gorbachev’s error. WRT the invasion of Czechoslovakia and Hungry, that was during the days of the USSR, not the Russian Federation under Putin. It’s not difficult to imagine the reaction in Washington if California decided to secede. Those Baltic states suffered greatly under the USSR so it’s hardly surprising that they fled into the open arms of the west at the first opportunity. Once Putin had revived Russia, they could have easily swallowed those little Baltic states, but they didn’t. Bush planted missiles in Poland; we know how the US reacted to the possibility of nukes in Cuba. Wilson, you’ve swallowed the western propaganda, hook line and sinker.
