Is the west the one escalating? Looks like the west is responding in very careful measured ways, possibly even under reacting sometimes.

Russia does seem to be the one agitating and pushing boundaries, especially when former Soviet states elect more independently minded governments.

In the West the one escalating? Yes. They defeated and humiliated their Cold War opponent, but wouldn't leave them alone.

Ah, so if an article suggests that water is dry and grass is purple - I should trust the article.
