Gets worse or simple returns back the old good multi-polar World? During the 90's the USA have uses to be a guy "I'm will to do everything". And now they believe this is a normal thing. Now, this is not. Have never before 90s and won't be in the future.
In 90's Russia has
really believed that the US government are honest guys who can be our friends. We have closed our bases on Cuba and in Vietnam, have pulled our armies from Germany and Afghanistan. We have sufficiently reduced our military power, especially the nuclear component (100's of unique military space, laser and nuclear technologies were dumped). Putin has even suggested Bush to include Russia into NATO. Can you believe in that now?!!
And what our Western "friends" done in turn? They have... expanded NATO to all countries of the former Warsaw Block. A very friendly step, isn't it?
Course it was a complete stupidity to trust into honesty of West. And this mistake cost a huge price for Russia, which is now literally surrounded by the enemy bases. Russia has slept in stupid dreams of friendship with the West too long. It's time to fix the situation. As we say here: it's better to do it later than never...
