  • A segment on George Frost Kennan and the policy of containment (https://soundcloud.com/backstory/americas-diplomat-from-stars) from "Stars and Tsars" by Backstory. The segment contains the following rather prescient 1997 prediction by Kennan of Russia's response to NATO's expansion:"That the Russians will not react wisely and moderately to the decision of NATO to extend its boundaries to the Russian frontiers is clear. They are already reacting differently. I would expect a strong militarisation of their political life, to the tune of a great deal of hysterical exaggeration of the danger and of falling back into the time-honoured vision of Russia as the innocent object of the aggressive lusts of a wicked and heretical world environment  … There will be efforts by the Russian leadership to … develop closer relations with the neighbors of the east, notably Iran and China, with a view to forming a strongly anti-Western military bloc as a counter-weight to a NATO pressing for world domination … Thus will develop a wholly and even tragically unnecessary division between East and West and in effect a renewal of the Cold War."—Diaries of George Kennan
