All throughout the COld War it was not America and Europe threatening Russia with Obliteration and invasion anytime after WWII.

It is my belief that the Russian rullers are Thugs and Mafia just trying to make a bank roll while trying to lead a country.

One thing you people have failed to realise is that America hit Iraq with Authorization of the UN and NATO. Sure USA looked like the invader's of the 21st century however America all along was following the will of the combined nations of the world.

We can look at Iraq now and see undeniable proof that Iraq is comming into the fold of Civilization with a fair government system.

Would RUssia do that for anyone? No...
Russia's only stance is to claim the defense of itself while in the face of instigating unrest of one sort or another in Europe, much like Iran is doing to the Middle East.
The problem is this, the Russians, or anyone for that matter don't like to be humiliated and subordinate, much less to the USA. They folded up the Soviet Union, and peacefully left how many nations? And in return what do they get? The USA pushing to move NATO right up into their face, on as many fronts as possible and placing missiles on their doorstep, in nations they used to control but left peacefully? I am not a great fan of Putin on a number of levels, but I understand their sentiments. At some point they are going to try to reassert themselves, and I think we have reached that point.
