to say that "not everything is the fault of the us" is a nice thing to keep in mind--but that doesn't change anything about the background of the situation around georgia. the americans played a significant role in the unspooling of all this. putin has his own political interests--no-one has said the contrary.
but this notion that looking at this situation and saying, to the extent we can, who has fucked up can be understood as "anti-american" is just goofy tv stuff.
