this conflict was brought up because of "fear" . The US&NATO has a basic "fear" of a strong Russia, and the past history of the cold war cast a long and dark shadow. By the same token the Russians have also "fear" of their own that the US & Nato to have expansionto the door steps . Having said that ,the Russians felt that the EU is a tool to the US policy determinations ,and Russia feels if not show its determination to put a stop ,this expansion policy will be detrimental to their national security because they also have "fear" of the US unilateral Policy. It could be said that the doctrin of pre-emptive strke, the scrapping of nuclear treaty decision of the past 8 years have not helped to build trust between the US and Russia . It is now very difficult to rebuild the good will existed during the time of the Gorbechev years. In international diplomacy one-up manship is a very dangerous game. And usually it produces more losers than winners.
