By which I mean that the Russians, like most people (incl. Georgians and Americans) are nationalistic, so–Russia does have long-run interests that are congruent with the US, if they can get over their Cold-War hang-up (I’m thinking of Chinese expansion into Siberia, radical Islamic terrorism, etc.) Really, Russia is much less of a threat long-term than some others, don’t you think? So, I’m with Georgia and the Ukraine, for sure, but no need to unduly create hate amongst your average Russian.
