Because ancient boomers just can’t get over the Cold War.
Seriously, that’s the answer. That generation of politicians had the chance to bring Russia into our orbit and we told them to frick the frick off.
Russia has asked us for help-TWICE- in the past 110 years for help setting up an American style federal constitutional republic. Both times we told them to frick off, and both times they have swung the other way.
Setting aside nebulous bullshite like “spread of communism” or “freedom”, the United States and Russia are not inherently opposed from a national interest standpoint. In an alternate world, they’d be our greatest partner alongside the EU.

Spot on. Every single neocon cuck on the OT thread fits this to a T (and in my opinion the guys who served in the GHWB boondoggle may as well be boomers).
