Not a place to redeem

It's often the case when you take the foot off the neck the dog bites you.

Within days of Donald Trump declaring his scepticism of Americas involvement in NATO the Russian announce placing missals in one of their vassal states.
Is this the start of a cold war or just the logical outcome of Americas continuing  interfering since the end of the Second World War, in the export of the. so called 'democratic process, which interfered with the election of someone they didn't like. 

A case in point is The Ukraine. Viktor Yanukovych who was the elected President of Ukraine was pro Russia and seen as not sufficiently pro EU. He had to be removed (2014) from office for fear of derailing the US in its drive to draw in the old satellite countries of the USSR, countries surrounding Russia, into an alliance with the EU, and incidentally setting up anti ballistic missile sites as part of a strategic containment program. 

A so called pro-democracy party, which in fact really resembled a bunch of fascist thugs was gathered together to promote unrest  on the streets, forcing the President to flee the country and eventually Parliament was overturned. The resultant tit for tat invasion of Crimea by Russia and the uprising of the Russian segment of the population followed and today we have an uneasy standoff with the country torn down the middle.
Of course if one had to choose between a Russian dictatorship or an American one, for us in the West there is no argument as to which to choose but the overt use of force, be it by tanks on Russia's side, or a financial and political insurrection by the Americans has a similar ring to it regarding what constitutes a sovereign state.
Iraqi, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Egypt, its a long list of ill conserved interventions undertaken on behalf of the drive to democratise these highly tribal countries and which has brought mayhem to the Middle East. Heavy handed dictatorship and oppression kept the conflicting forces of tribal affiliation under wraps but the "Athenian conjecture" that States are places of like minded people with common aims yearning for a system of governance where virtually everyone gets their say, is not in anyway ripe for much of the world, including China. 

Why must we in the West wish to foister our political concepts on the rest of the world through "Regime Change". I suppose it's ideological uniformity much like religious conformity where intolerance to your view is met with hatred.

 Trump at least seems to think it's all a lot of baloney and appears to want to face the world as a place to do business with, not as a place to redeem.
