I find it surprising how much more emphasis NATO gets relative to Western-backed economic "reform" in driving Russia's grievances. The latter, and the attendant 1990s socio-economic disaster, seems more closely tied to the rise of Putinism than NATO. — PolitiTweet.org

@wesyang I'm confused. My argument is there is no common principle at work in these two cases — other than "Nazis are bad" — which could cause the second to serve as a reductio to the first. That's not responsive. — PolitiTweet.org

Which is not to say NATO *doesn't* matter. A proper understanding of contemporary Russian nationalism means understanding how all of this fits into a narrative of national humiliation and lost grandeur. But the economic history is way less present in The Discourse. — PolitiTweet.org
