The United States does not bear the sole responsibility for de-stabilizing Ukraine and risking a nuclear power confrontation, but there is little doubt that if the United States had not been an eager co-conspirator in twenty years of increasingly reckless global expansionism we wouldnt be in this current quandary. But here we are, headed into another media wonderland where the actual context of putting missiles near another countrys borders is expected to elicit a reaction different from the one the Russians would get if they tried to finagle Mexico into a military alliance or base missiles in Canada. Come on, people, keep your wits about you. American exceptionalism isnt always such a good thing.
