I highly encourage people to watch “How the United States created Vladimir Putin” that was presented in Yale University by Vladimir Pozner.
It gives another perspective that’s often ignored how US and European foreign policy has played part in shaping what Russia is today.

- icegreentea2 4y agoI think it's important to acknowledge that this perspective forms a significant part of Russian internal justification for it's action. Significantly, this allows Russia to claim to be a victim in pretty much all interactions with the west. I don't think Russia should have been able to dictate the terms of NATO enlargement, but I do think the way that we enlarged NATO, combined with the lackluster way that the west attempted to engage with Russia was a foreign policy failure.
- neoromantique 4y agoThe biggest driving force behind NATO enlargement was always Russia. Who knew that if you threaten countries with war they will want to join a defensive alliance.
