Perhaps it is because Russia is militarily expansionist.

So what? Explain why we should care? What happens if Russia takes over Ukraine. There are over 10 countries in Africa at war with one another - why aren’t we there one one side or another?

Russia is no less "expansionist" than the U.S. They just do it in the open.

The biggest blunder the U.S. has made in foreign policy matters over the last 35 years is that we have effectively turned Russia from a European nation into an Asian one. This was entirely unnecessary and cannot possibly be justified.

"Perhaps it is because Russia is militarily expansionist."

I heard all that crap in the 50's. It's a broken record. We are in more peril now from our own current government than Russia has been to us since the Cold War ended. We've fought proxy wars with Russia since The Korean War. Where was their military expansionism then? Did they invade and take over Korea? Vietnam?

West Germany's Intelligence couldn't even keep Nazis out of its government, nor could they keep Russian moles out either. The CIA hired known Nazis war criminals to conduct intelligence gathering on our "enemies" for us. Yet to this day, we have never been told what important intelligence those Nazis gave us on Russia that helped us win the Cold War, because guess what? The Nazis got over on the CIA, and used their CIA-sponsored spy rings to help their Nazi war criminal friends escape from Europe, and conduct illegal arms trafficking with Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon to attack Israel. We are our own worst enemy. It sure as hell isn't Russia.

Not true at all. Russia only expands when threatened, and only by neutralizing the threat.

When you say Russia ..you mean some people in their government are military expantionist.
Not all Russians.
When you get away from Moscow into the more rural areas you find working families who just what to work and provide for their families.
Like most Americans.
