I got news for ya, you did not learn foreign policy in the marines. And that which I pointed out, was also part of contemporary reporting by the AP and Reuters no less.
Some of us pay attention to this shit beyond crisis. If you want to expand your horizons, you need a few history classes a couple in International law are not a bad idea, and political science. And yes, stop believing that the Russians are nice and good and wonderful (because they are not) and the US is all evil, (again, that is not the case). Things are far more complex than that black and white thinking you got going there.
Those cables are standard crap, usually declassified at the 30 year point, some take fifty. And they are not that remarkable. Hell, I read the ones on Mexico and I started laughing hysterically, since they are really funny, if you know Mexican history. But it is the kind of crap that goes on around diplomatic corps around the world, There are equivalents of these cables in every nation of the world. You go ask why?
I do not expect you to take the advise. It is always simpler to peddle crap I heard in High School in Mexico City. The US is the big satan and the USSR is going to save us all.... same shit, different country... and a different name.
