Obama’s Whitewashed History

Putin is no saint, but he simply revived Russia’s own version of the U.S. Monroe Doctrine.

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?
