It doesn't matter if he was paid and I have no indication Greenwald ever was either. Only that this line of thinking aligns with Russian propaganda and is also complete nonsense.
Saying we should constrain the sovereignty of Eastern European nations to not hurt the feelings of their most dangerous rival is just bullshit. Russia's goals are simply neoimperialist and they obviously had no intention of waiting for Ukraine to join NATO or the EU before invading. They certainly had no similar provocation to snatch territory from Moldova and Georgia.
I am not saying these things. I have no strong opinion on this topic.
I am simply pushing back on the notion that anyone who disagrees with my parent was paid to do so.
I don't believe that Kennans position (in 1997) was disingenuous or dishonest.
