Another book that I would recommend reading. It's called A Promised Land by Barack Obama. So to understand maybe all of the examples I'm using are historical because I have no examples in the present of this. Here is Obama stating the nature of Vladimir Putin's gripe with America, the US. This on page 464. The US decision 7 earliers 7 years earlier to pull out of the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty and its plans to house missile defense systems on Russian border continue to be a source
of strategic instability. The admission of former Warsaw Pact countries into NATO during both Clinton and Bush administrations had steadily encroached on Russia's sphere of influence, while US support for the color revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan under the specious guise of democracy promotion had turned Russia's once friendly neighbors into governments hostile to Moscow.
So in other words, according to the former president, Russia's gripe is not, well, we're taking over Hitler's failed plan to take over the world. According to twice elected president, those are Putin's gripes. NATO expansion, color revolutions and getting out of now. Open Skies as well, but previously the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty.
