Takeaways
- Obama's Brussels speech was an exercise in whitewashing history. All US sins were conveniently forgotten.
- It is the West's turn to come to terms with an eastern Monroe Doctrine, as Russia pushes back at last.
- The US approach – of blaming Russia for what it does oneself – is an amazing double standard. Iraq anyone?
