Russia and Ukraine

[Anomalocaris]

Basically, the US massively overreached.   When Russia called our bluff, rather than reflect upon how it came to be that we so overreached, we became apoplectic at having our bluff called and focused on demonizing the one who called our bluff.

This gives me little hope that either our policy establishment or our popular opinion and sentiment will do any better in the future.


Our original mistake was GeorgeBushian, or neoconservative.

and now, without trump being in the whitehouse, our collective response to the consequence of our mistake is still Trumpian.
