In reply to the discussion: Wikileaks Ukraine cable proves US government knew of fascist threat [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)I am confronting you with facts, some of them derived from a very long history, longer than the US actually. But if people do not know US History, I cannot expect them to know the very complex history of that region of the world.
What you are asking is isolationism, and not just isolation, but the worst kind of isolationism. That ain;t gonna happen.
In the same cable Lavrov admitted, remember he is talking for the Kremlin, admitted that there are LEGITIMATE INTERESTS that the West has, that includes the US.
Their fear, and that is from also from contemporary reporting, was the Ukraine, which applied to joining NATO, would be allowed to. That never happened, so stop peddling fantasies here. Yes, that whole cable's nexus IS FRACKING NATO!!!!
