@MGongadze You assign a lot of causal power to US policy. So what U.S. policy would have prevented Putin from invading Ukraine in 2014? Or Georgia in 2008? Or attempting to kill Skripal in 2018 or US soldiers in Afghanistan in 2020? (3 different presidents; same Putin belligerent behavior) — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, the independent variable (U.S. presidents) changed over the last 12 years, but the dependent variable (Putin's behavior) stayed the same. Therefore, its hard to assign much causality to that independent variable. But I look forward to your alternative explanation — PolitiTweet.org
