It is because of the neocons that Russia is becoming an enemy again. After the Soviet collapse, Russia was extremely pro-America, and wanted even to join NATO. Neocons froze them out. The only reason I can see for that is that if we got along too well with the Russians, we would have no enemies, and would have no reason to spend gigantic gobs of money on defense.
The pukes have their own agenda........does not include the interests of the US.
