For over three decades since the Cold War, the United States has lacked a coherent strategy for Russia, lurching from one failed “reset” to another. This stands in stark contrast to the clear, successful Cold War doctrine of containment. Successive administrations have failed to grasp Russia’s true nature and objectives, allowing Moscow to rearm and pursue its imperial ambitions.

The “Cold War doctrine of containment” wasn’t directed at Russia. It was directed at Communism.
It succeeded in removing the USSR.
It succeeded in removing the USSR.
But it didn’t remove Communism.
“ But it didn’t remove Communism.”
Nope. It metastasized to Western Europe and the US.

All I get from this article is that the Deep State is projecting again, and needs to be dealt with in the manner that they suggest.
Our enemy is in the UK and Brussels, not Russia.
“...pursue its imperial ambitions...”
Besides taking the Donbass, what imperial ambitions? The last time I looked the Baltic states are now part of NATO, AND so are all the Eastern European states.
The only ones with imperial ambitions are the GloboHomo EuroTrash who want to isolate Russia. Damn hypocrites need to look in the mirror.
Is this using FR to promote a blog? I see this referenced here often and nowhere else.
The only way to deal with Russia is to let the Euroweenies get their asses handed to them trying to defeat Russia. Let Western Europeans ship home their young men by the thousands in body bags.
If you think you can roll over top of the Russians, read about the Battle of Stalingrad in WWII in which more than 1 million Russians were killed and the Germans were eventually forced to retreat.
The Germans have forgotten how the Russians marched into Berlin, took few prisoners and wiped out the remaining Germans at the end of WWII. Most Germans then were desperate to surrender to Americans to avoid the brutal revenge of the Russian army.
Then, read about Napoleon trying to destroy the Russians and how his decimated army limped back home with a tiny fraction of its original manpower.

Only one answer, assassinate Putin.
Nonsense. Containment never worked. Reagan's deregulation of energy cut oil prices until the Soviet Union could no longer sustain a 600-ship Navy.
It removed Communism officially from various former constituents of the Soviet Union, though many of those parts would not pass the smell test as representing either democracy or most “human rights”. Where ending the Soviet Union made the greatest improvement is with the Soviet release of the Warsaw Pact nations [”East Germany, Poland and the rest of “Eastern Europe”). Those parts of the Soviet Union were not part of Russian Empire and made the transition to democracy and market economies with less corruption than in most of the former constituents of the Soviet Union that had been part of the Russian Empire. That difference speaks to established cultures prior to the commencement of the Soviet Union - preexisting political religious and cultural traditions.
Putin is Mr. Nice Guy. His successor will be an absolute bastard.
(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist,
ping me bro... we need laughter!
The first important step would be to never listen to most of the people who post here about Russia. That fantasy world approach leads to absolute disaster.
And by the way it was the foreign policy approach of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State before she got into an election and decided to try and use Russia against Trump.
I have always wondered about that. Russia has struggled hard against Ukraine. Ukraine.
Poland would be an impossibility.
Yet, somehow, they are supposed to take over Europe? How?
Then kill him too... Just keep killing them all until you get to somebody who doesn’t pine for the ‘good old days’ of Communism and the Iron Curtain, and who loves Democracy and freedom more than anything else. There must be somebody in Russia who’s actually sane, rather than insane.
Another Spammer.
