----------------------

This article is bashing American Exceptionalism and the notion that the US somehow have the right to intervene in other countries.
(And btw, according to the article, everybody in the US loves US imperialism. Including Liberals and Democrats.)

What the article does not mention is that every country has a similar "exceptionalism". Including Russia.

Why is Russia freaking out about Finland joining NATO?
Why is Russia freaking out about the Baltic States joining NATO?
Why is Russia freaking out about Ukraine joining NATO?
Why is Russia freaking out about Georgia joining NATO?
Why is Russia freaking out about Moldavia joining NATO?

Because those countries belong traditionally into Russia's sphere of geopolitical influence. And now those countries are daring to break with that tradition and do what they want.
Russia is pissed because other countries don't care about "Russian Exceptionalism".

Just look at the mythology they have constructed for modern Russia! Russia as the last bastion of goodness, of Christianity, of morals, of honor, of peace, in a depraved world. Isn't that the sort of exceptionalism that is bad if the US does it?
