According to Rep. Jason Crow, Russian President "Vladimir Putin wakes up every morning and goes to bed every night trying to figure out how to destroy American democracy."

But that's not true. There's no real reason to believe that Putin means us any harm at all. The new Cold War with Russia is all America's fault.

See, at the end of the last Cold War the American foreign policy community, led by the neoconservatives, adopted a doctrine of global dominance. This was as Charles Krauthammer put it in 1990, the U.S.'s "Unipolar Moment" and opportunity to remake the world our way and keep it that way. They call it leadership, hegemony, preeminence, predominance or even Full Spectrum Dominance. No really, it's all for their own good though. Keeping the peace; protecting the sea lanes; enforcing the global rules-based liberal international order.
