There seems to be little doubt that the US and UK tried to take over Russia after the collapse off the USSR and were added in this by both Russian oligarchs and foreign operatives. Is this an attempt to regain lost territory, mount a new offense to neuter Russia and a power and take over its resources (think Mackinder and Brzezinski) , or are the Russians somehow viewed as a threat to the City and British tax havens where the vast majority of oversees wealth is stored in secrecy?
