Pues es un tema interesante, desde luego, q merece estudio.
Como también el d la difusión d propaganda por parte d regímenes autoritarios a través d 'medios' como Sputnik y RT para alentar el descontento en democracias occidentales (y q ha sido analizado x diversos colegas ya)
.@diasasaigonados, sobre los bulos racistas: "Exijo saber si mi país o Europa está sometida a una campaña de desestabilización para imponer un programa autoritario y acabar con nuestra democracia. Hasta ahí llego. Esto no es una broma"

This is basically what @OxanaShevel and I argue in our book. The West carries some responsibility, but it's that it did too little, not too much, both before and after 2014.
nato is partly responsible for war in ukraine.
when russia illegally annexed crimea in 2014 and sent “little green men” to occupy southeast ukraine, nato response was close to indifference.
much like nato response to russia’s invasion of georgia in 2008.
that and failure in afghanistan wasn’t a green light for putin…but it was a blinking yellow.

Because the US keeps believing that denying Ukraine membership in NATO will be part of a future compromise with Russia. Regrettable and misguided, but nevertheless true
The ironic truth of the matter is that Russia can only wage this war of extreme brutality because it can trust that NATO is not a threat to its existence.
The serious "realist" offender of common sense @stephenWalt strikes again with his "eye-opening" opinion in @ForeignPolicy called "Morality is the Enemy of Peace" where he presents such gems of wisdom as parroting russian propaganda casus belli that had nothing to do with reality
