    The full quote:

    The ultimate objective of American policy should be benign and visionary: to shape a truly cooperative global community, in keeping with long-range trends and with the fundamental interests of humankind. But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.

    should be benign and visionary” is cruel cynicism when you remember what happened under his watch and afterwards.

    rooted in their own actions, atrocities and crimes they do since 4+ years in Ukraine

    Without the NGO investments, the takeover of the intelligence service and the extend of civilian casualities in other wars you see 4 years of Russian war crimes. You miss what is actually happening.

      You miss what is actually happening.

      Are you sure? Let’s check:

      Has Russia invaded Ukraine?

      Is this a war of aggression?

      Is Russia committing war crimes in this war?

      Should Russia fully retreat from Ukrainian territory according to the international borders of 1994?

        That’s if you only look at Russia and Ukraine. The relations between the US and Europe have changed to the advantage of the US.

            you see 4 years of Russian war crimes

            I agree with your judgement. I just think that without looking at the context you miss the big picture and draw the wrong conclusions about how to get or maintain a free Europe.

                  You have “answered” one. There were four:

                  Has Russia invaded Ukraine?

                  Is this a war of aggression?

                  Is Russia committing war crimes in this war?

                  Should Russia fully retreat from Ukrainian territory according to the international borders of 1994?

                    I agree with your judgement.

                    Too bad that judgement doesn’t have a plural form. You may be splitting hair, I don’t. As far as I can agree without further context I agree with all four of your statements.
