It is kind of interesting to me how even the smarter arch reactionaries agree it's not a good idea to provoke Putin out of their own self interest, but the liberals are still frothing at the mouth
As much as it is a non materialist explanation, I honestly think this is a massive contributing factor to the current lib Russia hysteria. They were so traumatized by Trump, and he and his hogs are too dumb to have done it themselves, because the libs are just so super smart, so it HAS to be putin.
Kissinger’s thing is power balancing. There’s a decent faction of neocons who want to do the Sino-Soviet split again, but this time with Russia against China. Mearsheimer is one.
libs are only for it right now cos the president is a dem, if Trump were still around and this was going on they would be full throat anti-war and constantly talking about how Trump is a nazi and arming nazis in ukraine.
The arch reactionaries of that time period are too liberal for mainstream now. The politics that constitute Sanders is even further right than the large majority of republicans in that time period.

Could it be because they view Putin as outside their West Wing civility fantasy and can't conceptualize the idea of diplomacy with him?

And it would be either a winning or a more successful strategy at least, if they hadnt acted in ways that pushed the two together more solidly.
They'd probably need a time machine to go back to 1990 and prevent the wholesale looting of Russia though.

Are we sure about that? They congratulated him for bombing Syria and then called him a traitor for not killing anyone with it.
