    If you are interested in what kind of Russia you will face, why didn't you interest in what kind of West Russia was interested in facing?

    This guy appears to have sold out. He's talking about an effective way of dismantling Russia and doing so casually. He's bought and paid for. "What kind of Russia does the United States need?" smacks of an hegemonic attitude whereby its understood the the US must safeguard the entire world when the truth is, it has savaged the entire world to satisfy its own (capitalist) interests. This fellow has bought into this view.

    I was very impressed by this guy's other talk (during the discussion), but he seems to have some blind spots. While he acknowledges what Iraq was, he says that he blames Russians who are in senior government positions and do not resign, when his position in the US government was between 2004 and 2007. By his own standard, he should not have done that, because of the "barbarity" of the invasion of Iraq - but it's always other people who are barbaric.

      The ones you mention are the real delusional people.
      Think for a moment about all the ridiculous statements and all the "news" coming from those individuals. They kept saying that Ukraine was going to colapse "next week"... for how long? A year and a half?...
      Ukraine is still there and now even advancing.
      Nevertheless some self-hating absolutely brainwashed people are still thinking that they are telling the truth.

      Too much living in the past, which is why my country is using your naivete. Happened so many times and you still don't learn. \_0_/ Don't you remember ww2????? No? Look at your country now. See any similar patterns? Russia will run over your country in a daynand the US won't and can't protect you. The US also never wanted to protect you. 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵 Russia can take East Europe in 3 days versus NATO. -Pentagon
      Maybe wake up? Stop turning your nightmares into reality by listening to lies. Lies like 'd/security guarantees'. Look at Ukraine. Not very secure. Belgium in ww1. Poland before ww2. They never stop believing that lie. Meanwhile your buying US weapons while the US military presence is minimal. Read the writing in the wall. History looks like it will repeat...because Russia is the Soviet Union and Putin is Stalin. 🤓🤪🙃
