NATO marched toward Russia, breaking the agreements made at the time of the reunification of Germany. Then pushed Georgia to attack South Ossetia, repelled by the Russians. Then went full in with regime change in the Ukraine and has fully supported the Ukraine's continued abrogation of the Minsk Accords. And keeps attempting to destroy the Russian economy with sanctions, answered with extremely effective counter-measures which include a flourishing agricultural export sector. Then we have the "domestic" issues suddenly in Kazakhstan.
Russia has been working very effectively to nullify issues instigated in its back yard (the Caucasus, Belarus, Kazakhstan), and its ally Syria, and is now letting the West know that no more nonsense will be accepted in the West. This is not the mid-1990s and the US leadership needs to come to terms with the new realities with Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Central Asia and China (and ASEANs unwillingness to help the US in hostilities with China) and come to some form of acceptable status quo. The longer it waits, the worse the terms will become.
