Russia had a choice following the Soviet collapse. go it alone or join,, enthusiastic or not, the western world. they, particularly Putin, chose to go it alone.
Turn the clock forward 20 years, Putin chose the latter, has set himself up as a national mafia boss (-in-chief) and embarked on a program of foreign (Africa through Wagner) destabilization, murder (anyone he dislikes anywhere in the world) and conquest - how many wars has he fought in what was the former Soviet Empire.
Sadly, Putin cannot be trusted to abide by any agreement under any circumstances.
Good interview. I wish that John would stop saying that China is an existential threat to the US tho.
