I think that since 2015/2016 it's become impossible in the United States to have a rational discussion about Russia. For the obvious reason that Obama/Hillary turned them into a domestic political weapon against Trump and dissent more generally. Don't like our actions? You're probably a Putin fan.

Thank you for this article. First, in January and February, it was obvious that they [ US ] are going to cause onset of the war solely because they would not publicly say that Ukraine is not eligible to joint NATO, due to "unresolved conflict" in the Donbas. Unnamed Ukraine officials, would beg US to state that Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO to save their own political position. The Bucha story, of alleged atrocities that nobody noticed until 3 days after Russian departure, was conveniently rolled out an excuse as to why it unacceptable to negotiate with the Russians, sealing Ukraine's fate to suffer a defeat and have final terms imposed by Russia.
