A Colder War With Russia?
To all outward appearances, Russia’s retaliatory
expulsions
of American and other diplomats followed the old
Cold War pattern
: A Soviet deed would prompt Western punitive measures. Moscow would blithely deny any wrongdoing, declare itself victimized by a two-faced West and strike back with equivalent measures. So it was, for example, when the United States
boycotted
the Moscow Olympics in 1980 over the invasion of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union led an
Eastern Bloc boycott
of the Los Angeles Games four years later. And so it is now again, in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
Mr. Putin has fully embraced the old Kremlin
aversion to ever admitting wrongdoing
, whether it’s shooting down a
Malaysian jetliner
, or killing
Alexander Litvinenko
, or
seizing Crimea
, or fighting in eastern
Ukraine
, or
cyber-meddling in Western elections
, or
doping Olympic athletes
. Or using a lethal chemical weapon to
poison a double-agent and his daughter
in a provincial city in England.
