about Russia because I've always felt, I mean, at least as far back as the debate that Romney had with Obama when Romney identified Russia as being our number one strategic enemy, I've long felt that we lost an opportunity to build a sustainable peace with post-Soviet Russia. Now, maybe that's again kind of bias looking back, and then in fact, the same logic about an inevitable break with China would hold for Russia because of the size of the country, because of the deep sense of nationalism and play something that you talk about in the book. I'm curious how you see this. To what degree are American foreign policy makers responsible? Obviously, they're not as responsible as the everything is America's fault people try to make it out to be, but how responsible are American foreign policy makers for the situation that we find ourselves in with Russia today, which I feel like didn't have to be the case, and we could have had a much more constructive relationship that actually would help (25/57)
