I agree, but it wouldn't have made a significant difference in the grand scheme of things. I believe the entire West should have provided more support to Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed. Perhaps it would have been possible to peacefully transform Russia into a fully democratic country. Instead, Russia primarily experienced the downsides of the Soviet Union's collapse. As a result, we are now facing the problem of leaders like Putin, who want to revive the Soviet Union.
