Twenty Years of Putin Playing the West in 3 Minutes | NYT Opinion
Vladimir Putin, especially these days, is widely reviled. To some he’s a war criminal, to others he’s a dictator, and to many he’s simply a very bad man.
But it wasn’t always this way.
We trawled through video footage from 20 years of international summits, speeches and news conferences and discovered a man who once basked in high regard: the one who went fishing and dancing with George W. Bush, who fell into warm embraces with Tony Blair and whose jokes had NATO’s leaders rolling on the floor with laughter.
As the Opinion Video above starkly reveals, Western leaders once considered Vladimir Putin not just an ally, but also, apparently, a friend.
Even if they were simply giving him the benefit of the doubt for political purposes, they were taking a naïve gamble of historic proportions: Be nice to Putin, and maybe he would be nice back.
It’s true that this brand of personal diplomacy scored some significant security victories. Arms control treaties were signed, and Putin allowed U.S. jets to strike the Taliban from bases in Russia’s satellite states.
But as Russian tanks rolled into Georgia in August 2008, Bush learned that his eight-year friendship with the Russian leader had earned him zero leverage over Putin’s territorial ambitions.
While it’s debatable whether Western governments could have foreseen the bloody horizon of Putin’s vision, let’s now be clear about one thing: Personal diplomacy doesn’t work when you need it most.

@@agagqbq 1. If you actually watched day by day analysis of the war, it's very obvious that Russia doesn't want the West to legitimize their presence in Ukraine. However the West is more aggressive, and with Macron announcing French troops to go to Odessa, the West already fell into his play. 2. In case you forgot, Ukraine is backed by the entire Europe, specifically NATO nations. It's literally just NATO vs. Russia, with Ukraine as battlefield. How coincident is it that the only times Ukraine is failing and retreating (for example, right now) are the time that NATO supplies can't reach soon enough, funny right? 3. The West put more than 16.000 sanctions on Russia, companies moving out, workers escape, it should've crippled Russia economy beyond saving. Yet look at the reality: Russia's still fine and dandy, they might have some problem with workers but that can be resolved thanks to robots, and they even managed to revive some older national product brand that was becoming obsolete due to presence of Western companies. Meanwhile, the West is suffering with record high inflation and risk of total economic downfall and riot. In short, while Russian is intact, the collective West is in shamble economically. Tell me who's being played right now?

Putin was opened to West, wanted do business on equal terms. Wanted to introduces alternative currencies to international trade (besides $$),. Title should be 20 year of Putin attempting establish good relations and how the West end up backstabbing Russia with playing political games at Russia's doorsteps.

Yeah, like the Operation Iraqi Freedom.. Neither Russia nor USA are angels, they are just competitors for influence within Europe, they both have done plenty of clandestine operations to get where they are now, and after the fall of the Soviet Union, there were plenty of neutral countries liberated from bear's influence. A new battle for the influence thus began, until the West met the East through their expansion of influence with each other again. The difference is, that no large nation wanted to join Russia's sphere of influence by a democratic process, only as a dictatorship puppet state, as Russia is not enthusiastic about democracy, not even an illusion of democracy as the West has for the same reason why China isn't a democracy, it would be counterproductive to the unity of the nation that would at best end like EU, at worst like the middle east. That's why only the Crimea region that was part of the Russia for a long time joined Russia somewhat legitimately and without any fight as somewhat larger piece of land.

NATO going offensive in Serbia was his awakening, I think. The further enlargement in 2004, and the tried one in 2008 was another development fostering his suspicion towards NATO. The war against Libya was not needed anymore but just eradicated any of his doubts: NATO was not just a defensive pact it was aggressive too. Hence, it became a potential threat. Why do you think did he had so many spies in western countries? He wanted to find out what their plans are for Russia. However, he made up his mind long time before 2022 and had very much reason for his decision to act violently.

Putin is transforming Russia into something that may not even be the Russian Federation in the end. If you can't see that, you are blind. Already, supporters and satellite countries of Russia are dissing Putin and Russia left and right, even holding Putin in waiting in meetings, just like he used to do them. It is HILARIOUS to watch. In case you didn't realize it, Russia won it's end of WWII ONLY because the US was supplying them trucks, planes, etc.. and more ammo than we were using toward the end of WWII.

Putin does more to increase NATO cohesiveness and power than anyone else ever could. NATO had literally NOTHING to do with this attack, or any other. Putin has been writing and speaking openly about the 'a return to the glorious USSR' for decades, and about nations like Ukraine having no sovereign rights.
