Bill Bradley: U.S.'s 'fundamental blunder' on Russia

 

Former Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ), a longtime expert on Russia and a sober-minded policy analyst, said he was deeply troubled at the relentless expansion of NATO.

In a Jan. 23, 2008 talk before the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, he sounded a disconsolate note, describing NATO expansion a “terribly sad thing … a blunder of monumental proportions… .“ As tensions increased with Russia, Bradley added, “Right now we are confronted with something that could have easily been avoided.”

These words above are by Ray McGovern (former CIA analyst) in a new article about Biden's appointment of William Burns to head the CIA.  Very interesting and instructive - see it here.
