Quotes:

[Russia's] culture...is instinctively repressive and steeped in vast corruption. Not to go too deep on the history lesson here, but these “qualities” go back centuries in Russia, which missed out on Western influences like the Renaissance and Reformation. Things we take for granted — political pluralism, a robust free press, genuine property rights backed up by contract enforcement and a truly independent legal system — simply do not exist in Russia today. The Russians had 30 years to integrate with the West. We welcomed them into the G-7. We normalized trade relations. Multinationals invested billions. In return we got years of cyber attacks, election interference, assassinations on Western soil and nuclear threats. Enough.
