    Still citing the book you haven’t read? Tell us again, what comes before the one sentence you always carefully select?

    We also don’t know if our judgement of Russia is rooted in manipulation.

    Well, at least my judgement of Russia is rooted in their own actions, atrocities and crimes they do since 4+ years in Ukraine. It is you trying to manipulate to whitewash them from it.

      The full quote:

      The ultimate objective of American policy should be benign and visionary: to shape a truly cooperative global community, in keeping with long-range trends and with the fundamental interests of humankind. But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.

      should be benign and visionary” is cruel cynicism when you remember what happened under his watch and afterwards.

      rooted in their own actions, atrocities and crimes they do since 4+ years in Ukraine

      Without the NGO investments, the takeover of the intelligence service and the extend of civilian casualities in other wars you see 4 years of Russian war crimes. You miss what is actually happening.

        You miss what is actually happening.

        Are you sure? Let’s check:

        Has Russia invaded Ukraine?

        Is this a war of aggression?

        Is Russia committing war crimes in this war?

        Should Russia fully retreat from Ukrainian territory according to the international borders of 1994?
