Shlomo Ben-Ami — History Strikes Back

Preparing for WWIII. 

The first half of the article is correct, but instead of drawing the conclusion that the West blew a historic opportunity for peaceful cooperation asserts that Western leaders were blissfully unaware of Russian and Chinese intentions. Nothing about Western moves toward encirclement. History is striking back largely because the West continued to pursue the Great Game.
