Michael McFaul left his position as U.S. ambassador to Russia in February of this year, just after the Sochi Olympics and immediately preceding the current crisis in Ukraine.

Interesting take on Russia. But I'd recommend looking up Noam Chomsky on American imperialism and Stephen Cohen on russian-american relationship for a second opinion

Sounds like a Hawkish Neocons left imperialist!
