I commend you, John, for your fine encapsulation of history in the Far East~the Orient, as many of us grew up calling it. History of the relations between nations gives us a framework to understand and analyze current diplomacy and actions between these storied nations that are so far from our shores. It IS best to take time to understand relations between Russia and her neighbors in the past before making uninformed commentary now to current events. I especially liked your explanation:
"A central tenet of Putin’s foreign policy is friendship with all countries regardless of ideology; first and foremost with Russia’s neighbors. If certain neighbors, such as Ukraine, choose war, then they do so to their own detriment."

Peace is what the civilians in western countries crave right now.
