Even Russia is both proud and fearful of its past eg Western attacks by Napoleon and Hitler
Russian Pride in refusing to launch an all out nuclear attack on America when it's subs were being depth charged during the Cuban Missile confrontation, spoken about by both Michael Portillo and Bruce Kent. Russia was simply following our lead in putting Jupiter missles near the Russian border - in Turkey.
Putrid is incensed by American/Western eastwards expansionism (Corbyn's concern). Our side failed to keep its verbal only undertakings over E Germany not being allowed Into NATO. But difficult to avoid with German unification!
Our NATO/all things Western/American enthusiasts in Ukraine should have waited for the next General Election to oust their opponent Yanukovych. Ukraine needed to walk a tightrope in not upsetting their neighbour, Putrid but probably impossible, I know.
These enormous military alliances, like NATO are playing with fire. We should have disbanded it when the Warsaw Pact was disbanded in the 90s but American/Western power and arrogance meant that was out of the question. We must always be the Top Dominating Dog, rather than working for equality and balance and peaceful co-existence, as we had with MAD.
