Russia is creating NATO hostility where none existed since NATO won the Cold War against the USSR.
Putin is supposed to be some geopolitical genius:
Russia's aggression towards its neighbours and the West risks a new Cold War, Nato's Secretary-General has warned.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph following the disclosure that Russia's opposition leader had been poisoned with Novichok, Jens Stoltenberg warned that Moscow's behaviour and attempt to establish a new "sphere of influence ... requires a response from Nato".
"We don't want a new Cold War, we don't want a new arms race, but at the same time we have to make sure that we are adapting as the world is changing," Mr Stoltenberg said. "So we are responding to what Russia is doing."
Russia is its own worse enemy. Will no advisor tell Putin he is effing up royally?
I swear to God, Putin simply resents that Russia is not longer the "big bad" the way the Soviet Union was and has to play second fiddle to China (and sometimes third or fourth depending on what Iran and North Korea are doing that week).
I don't know how long Russia can pretend America is their main enemy while the real main enemy gains strength.
