^ Of course you know, Russia is evil. Since communism (well it was not, but..) err .. let's say faded away, the NATO urgently needs a new reason for its existence.
So who else should they declare to be the "enemy" ?
Taliban and IS are much too "asymmetrical", and a "war" against terrorists
is no war, contrary to what all those military geniusses and Fox News try to get into the heads of their listeners.
China has too much investments in the US and besides, all major corporations now produce in China. There is no environmental thinking, (the pollution stops at the chinese wall as everyone knows), and workers get a dollar an hour – if as much.
Imagine Russia being a member of the NATO, as they proposed back then. No one would have to shout when just another ally flies around, over the North Sea.
So unfortunately, Russia is the scapegoat. Again.
