No. We’re not ‘’natural allies’’. Americans are an entirely different people.
Agreed. I don't know about the beginnings of Russia as a nation, but through my life I've observed that nation/culture to have a superiority complex. The interesting thing is when they experienced democracy after the fall of communism, they couldn't handle it.
They had the opportunity to become an economic power-house that could have rivaled America. They kept their narcissistic obsession with MotherLand and let the Mafia, Politicos, and corrupt businessmen revert them back, as we're now seeing. Some people/cultures can't handle true liberty and capitalism.
