Particularly the line about, "an Era of American leadership in the region". That stinks of imperialism and gives credence to Russian paranoia about the U.S. trying to dominate the region.

Keeping Ukraine free is one thing, trying to "lead" Eastern Europe is another thing. Especially since leaders like Erdogan, Orban, and Duda are not much better than Putin, just less dangerous.
