“Why can’t Christian Russia and the USA be great together?”
Because a large plurality of Americans still assert individual rights over collective rights or the interests of ruling classes.
This puts us at odds with countries like Russia and China (and Democrats) where individuals have revocable privileges that come and go based on dictatorial whim.
Our concept of God-given rights is a mortal threat to such people. They cannot peacefully coexist with us in the long term.
