Why did he mandate a policy of cruelty in the Soviet territories occupied by his armies, when certain segments of the population there were ready to greet them with flowers?

Russian troops no longer occupy either Central Europe or, thanks to President Clinton's personal diplomacy, the Baltic states. Instead, they are serving alongside us to bring peace to Bosnia. While we do not always agree with Russian policies, today not every difference is a crisis. We can manage the issues between us constructively without the threat of nuclear confrontation...
