Russia has had a siege mentality for quite a while now. Napoleon, the Kizer, Hitler, these events each shaped the russian Psyche. This is why Russia misbehaves, they are paranoid of invasion. They want to keep the west weak and divided so as to limit the threat.
To improve the situation we must find a way to bring them in to the fold. The more we isolate Russia, the more we play in to this narrative where the only winners are the military industrial complex.
- Mirioron 7y agoI think that there will be a lot of push back towards bringing Russia into the fold considering how much suffering their past actions have caused. Poland in particular will probably never be happy with it. (Are the Polish still mad about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?) This push-back could fracture the West by itself. We already saw some cracks appear due to Nord Stream, where Western Europe wanted the pipeline, but Eastern Europe didn't. Eastern Europe got overruled, so they sought help from the US. This showed cracks in the cooperation of Europe and the US.
