Or better still, if you want the West to defend you or come to your aid when Russia eventually invades you, you need to first stockpile on weapons manufactured by the West as a show of good faith and we will remember to return the favor when the Russians come for you. But Georgia lost their Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008 and Ukraine also lost their Crimea in 2014 but the West never rushed in with their marching army to defend them.
The Russia/America never ending "face-off" or supposed constant hostility is a racket for weapons and wars profiteering. So it does not matter what Vladimir Putin does or does not do, there can never be enduring peace between the West, particularly America and Russia. His Russia will always be held out as the enemy; and even if there is no real factual basis to justify its enmity, one will always be manufactured just to keep the narrative the same. It is also the reason for the periodic ratcheting up of sanctions against Kremlin by successive American presidents, democrats and republicans; which helps create the appearance that Russia are up to no good. A West and America desiring a lasting peace with Russia would have since allowed Russia to join NATO and formalize its membership of the European Union since it is a European country.
But no, as to do so will drastically impair their military.industrial bottomline because with the "enemy" now gone, there will be no need for countries to buy weapons and the weapons and wars market will drastically dwindle or even dry off. If Joe Biden actually imposed the latest sanction against Russia as a deterrent against their military buildup at the border with Ukraine, why is a similar sanction not imposed on China which has been constantly buzzing Taiwanese airspace with their military fighter planes these past weeks. China has even sent their warships including aircraft carrier into Taiwanese waters in violation of international order, but the White House looked the other way.
But it is the America's politics of Russia, the bogey man; and it has to constantly play on as it has always been playing for the past many decades, irrespective of which party is in the White House. American' Russian policy is dictated by the Deep State and the Deep State always gets what the Deep State wants. They have to keep the golden goose laying the eggs so that they can continue enjoying their mouth-watering omelette. It never ends and it will never end. It is a manufactured situation and there is an ongoing need to keep it that way. It is also possible that Joe Biden imposed the current sanctions in order to prove his tough guy bona fides, since he promised to be tough on Russia and he also called Vladimir Putin a killer.
