The west has done everything to make nice with Russia for decades, every new American president since at least Bush 2 thinks that this time he will be the one to charm the Russians, and every time the Russians shit the bed. The Russians don't want to make nice, they want to destroy the west. And I don't want to be destroyed.

It's a little annoying honestly that this reply is downvoted to oblivion and nobody seems to have a real reply. I'm not sure that there's a "everybody just gets along" answer to this, and maybe that's why.
