In this vein, here’s someone calling the situation we’re seeing shortly after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Basic premise being that great power competition is alive and well, and the US and European leaders trying to tell themselves it’s dead are consistently confused. Title aside I would not describe his talk as assigning blame—more that the US had a great hand after the collapse of the USSR and has played it poorly. I found a few talks from this guy, and they’ve all aged remarkably well.
