First, longtime war correspondent HDS (Hugh) Greenway on how Washington is encouraging a new cold war with China: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/03/27/its-not-too-late-to-stop-a-new-cold-war/
Then, Branko Marcetic had this fantastic piece breaking down the old Wikileaks cables that showed how sour Russia had become with Washingoton's push for war in Iraq in 2003 and its distancing with the policy after the invasion: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/03/23/for-putin-iraq-war-marked-a-turning-point-in-us-russia-relations/
Finally, believe it or not there are voices advocating for the break up of the Russian Federation. Wesleyan professor Peter Rutland on why such a move would be insane. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/03/24/why-pushing-for-the-break-up-of-russia-is-absolute-folly/
