    For what it’s worth the west had a history of helping in these events, we did fuck all for them really when the Soviet Union broke apart.

    It wasn’t our job, but it woulda gone a LONG fucking way to bettering relations.

    I could see feeling bitter we didn’t help but to take it as far as blaming us for their woes is just classic “it’s their fault” mentality.

    Look at Japan and Germany as examples of how it may have played out.
