Key Points and Summary – Western aspirations for regime change in Russia are a “dangerous delusion” that ignores the lessons of past interventions in Iraq and Libya. Such efforts are not only unrealistic, given Russia’s nationalist resilience, but also risk provoking greater instability and a more aggressive Kremlin.

Well we ever learn? We can't dipose a leader who has nukes. Like 5,000 or more nukes.

This is the same site that was involved in spreading the lowest confidence “leaked Iran assessment” after the B-2 strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, in an attempt to undermine Trump.

Putin and Trump have this in common.
Neither are Republicans so they are not use to the fetal position.

The author hits the click bait bell by posing the idea that “regime change” in Russia has been the “aspiration” of western leaders. Cheap trick.

Then goes on to outline the kind of containment policies that are generally what western leaders have actually been trying.

But the author pleased the website owners ASPIRATIONS by getting clicks on the article with its phony title.

I used to detest Obama and his straw-man arguments, same with this author. Who is calling for "Russia regime change"? No one

What NATO and other western leaders are calling for is an end to attempted regime change by Russia in Ukraine.

Who thinks that Putin replacement would be any better?

“Who thinks that Putin replacement would be any better?”

They all know that whoever replaces Putin will be FAR WORSE, but they’ve been trained in Alinsky Tactics so they have to keep the focus on ONE PERSON, and Putin is the only they can home-in on.
