President Nixon brought forth SALT I, the strategic arms limitation treaty, and the ABM Treaty.
President Carter crafted SALT II.
President Reagan negotiated with Gorbachev the end of the Cold War, the most promising achievement of the 20th century.
The Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes have done everything possible to raise the tensions between nuclear powers to heights beyond those of the most dangerous days of the Cold War.
The evil Clinton regime broke the word of the government of the United States, thereby destroying the honor of the US government, by taking NATO to Russia’s borders.
The evil George W. Bush regime pulled the US out of the ABM Treaty and rewrote US war doctrine in order to elevate nuclear weapons from a retaliatory weapon to a first strike weapon. This insane act put the Russians on notice.
The evil Obama regime intends to place nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders in Poland and Romania and engineered a coup in Ukraine with the intent of depriving Russia of its Black Sea naval base in Crimea, Russia’s only warm water port.
Indeed the US foreign policy by the last few presidents seems to be riddled with factional divisions unlike anything in American history.
… US “multiple personality disorder” over Syria have shown that there is no unified US foreign policy. There is a White House foreign policy, there is a CIA foreign policy, then there is a Foggy Bottom foreign policy and a Pentagon foreign policy. We even know that there is a separate Neocon foreign policy. Any one of them coup have pushed the coup plotters to take action just like the Neocons pushed Saakashvili to attacked South Ossetia.

Many, ALT news commentators talk about it but never mention who or what is the mysterious force calling the shots and commanding Clinton, Bush and Obama to bring back the cold war with Russia and do the foreign policy disasters these three presidents did.
They are all inexperienced dummies in terms of foreign policy so its no doubt they were ordered to do what their doing. Ordered by whom?
Is this mysterious force merely the foreign policy official establishment that is embedded inside the US system?
Or is it some mysterious neocons left over from the Bush years allied with Israel
That would explain the ME sinister acts but not necessarily the return of the Russia US cold war, incited by US/NATO WITH THEIR PROVOCATIVE aggression against Russia.
Today I came across an article on the Turkish coup that may have half an answer to my question

That in itself might have something to do with the scatterbrained policy coming out of the US. Though not entirely….But the question remains who are the hidden hands behind the US dangerous foreign policy that has gone eon since Bill Clinton and continues to blindly wonder on under Obama.

Good point.
But also Obama in an Atlantic interview recently said he was very disappointed in Erdogan and that he, Erdogan was becoming dictatorial in ruling Turkey.
In June 2006, Armed Forces Journal published this map from Ralph Peters, a prominent pro-war strategist. It shows the method to the madness -- creating ethnic tension and civil war in order to redraw the boundaries. Most of the existing borders were imposed by Britain and France after World War I - and conveniently (for the US and Europe) divide most of the Arabs from most of the oil. Note that their new "Arab Shia State" would contain much of the oil, separating governments in Riyadh, Baghdad and Tehran from what is currently the main source of their national wealth.
"it's very encouraging to me that Joe Biden is the incoming vice president. He has been the prime proponent of a decentralized Iraq. And although in the campaign Senator McCain described his plan as, I think, a cockamamie idea, it is in fact what the Bush administration has done in part. The Bush administration, in 2007, decided to finance a Sunni army, which is the Awakening. And that's why we've had success. Biden would only take this a next step and encourage the Sunnis to form their own region" -- Peter Galbraith, senior diplomatic fellow at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, National Public Radio All Things Considered, November 12, 2008
