“ How would we have reacted if Moscow had brought Western Europe into the Warsaw Pact, established bases in Mexico and Panama, put missile defense radars and rockets in Cuba, and joined with China to build pipelines to transfer Mexican and Venezuelan oil to Pacific ports for shipment to Asia? And cut us out? If there were Russian and Chinese advisers training Latin American armies, the way we are in the former Soviet republics, how would we react? Would we look with bemusement on such Russian behavior?

I had a prof at NYU who predicted a Russian reaction like this becuase of this very reason way back when I had his class in early 2002. (Stephen Cohen, if you’re curious)

The answer of non-aggression always seems pretty apparent until we put ourselves in the shoes of those who have lashed out. These days everyone is “the offended.” All nations are victims. Though I’m inclined to say “Some more than others.”
