From an article by amnon lord:

“President Joe Biden’s U.S is different from what we knew, and its major mistakes have led to the current war. It’s amazing to read a Thomas Friedman piece published in The New York Times in 1998 that predicts exactly the current tragedy.

Friedman interviewed legendary “X”—George Kennan—who shaped the U.S. policy of containment for decades of the Cold War. At 94, he despaired of the policy then-President Bill Clinton and his people were leading to push NATO eastward. He and Freidman predicted a disaster.

”I think it is the beginning of a new cold war. I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake,” Kennan told him. At the time, no one knew who Putin was.”

So this Russian policy has nothing to do with Putin. It has been Russian geopolitical policy for ages. Stop demonizing him for a problem that brought on by American Expansionist foreign policy.

Maybe then, instead of empty virtue signaling that only serves to make you feel good while condemning Ukrainians to horrible suffering, you would actually pursue policies that save lives.
