Pretty simple. US and NATO countries are about freetrade, liberty, and mutual partnership. Russia is about dominating and subjugating its neighbors as vassals. Those vastly different ideologies don't mix.

The United States and Russia had great relations in the 1800s and early 1900s as well. That ended with the Russian Revolution.

Before 2008, they seemed friendly. Should have brought russia into nato in 98-99. They would be a giant France (a pain in the ass), but better to argue with them at a table versus going to war with them.

We had our chance when communism /socialism fell when Russia asked for help and the US turned a blind eye to them. Had we got involved can you imagine how strong an alliance with Russia would be today?

We should have let Russia into NATO and invest more in their rise than make them a rival. If American foreign policy shifted to "how can we make this place better more successful" we'd be in a much better situation.

🇺🇸💥🇷🇺 Not long ago, there was a time when relations between Moscow and Washington were going smoothly. Agreements and gestures of closeness were occurring between both sides. There was even discussion about the possibility of Russia becoming part of NATO. However, one fine day, everything went awry. And the question is, what caused the divorce between the United States and Russia? What exactly triggered the deterioration of this relationship? What did a pyramid scheme unleashed in tiny Albania have to do with this whole story? In this new special video for Patreon, we tell you all about it.
