Putin declared war on Ukraine and announced what he calls the special military operation which is an invasion of Ukraine. There was clearly a at least one eye toward the goal of trying to induce countries to either side with Russia or remain neutral by reminding everybody of all the reasons they have to resent the United States. The resentment is being successfully exploited by these bricks leaders and especially by China and Russia to lure people away from the U.S. in their internal affairs, says Peter Bergen.
