Russia: What goes around comes around
*U.S. spends 25 years encircling Russia with new allies and would-be clients*
U.S.: This isn’t directed at Russia
*Russia maintains limited military cooperation with one economic basket case in S. America*
U.S.: Get the hell out of our hemisphere!
*U.S. expands NATO five times in 25 years*
U.S.: Russia doesn’t get a veto. Every country gets to decide its own foreign policy
*Russia and Venezuela have some military cooperation*
U.S.: We forbid it! Russia has to leave at once!
U.S.: Spheres of influence are a relic of a bygone era. They have no place in the modern world.
Also U.S.: We insist that other major powers respect our sphere of influence or else
