I do believe at the end of the Cold War we should have had a “Marshall Plan” for Russia to get them on their feet.

Would have paid huge dividends down the road, and I think even Reagan would have supported the idea. But Clinton and Albright wanted to rub the Russians’ noses in it.

Now the Bear is back.

And just when did they do this?

You might be right.
However, there was no guarantee than the Russians would have WANTED Western help.
Also we do NOT know what their circumstances REALLY were as we NEVER, EVER got the truth (Pravda) from their news media...Pravda.

They WILL do things their own way. They always have...and it's my read that they always will.

You are right about Clinton and Aldim.

The Bear IS back but it won't be the same as it was in the Cold War. There is simply TOO much communication available and the Russian people REALLY want the "stuff" that we have in the West. The Russians CAN'T afford both a war and the "stuff."

That was my read on the Russians when my husband and I went there in 2008. Maybe it's different now.
