As an American that is well left of center on most issues, I have a question. Why do I find that so much of what Mr. Putin has to say seems to make such good sense -- at least where his views on Western geopolitics is concerned? His New York Times op-ed, for example, struck me as astute. If we are at the opening of a new Cold War, it seems to me it owes as much to U.S. bad behavior during the last twenty years as it does to any Russian intransigence or longing for a restoration of Soviet prestige. Appreciate your insights.
