“Russia is our enemy....never doubt that. But they aren’t alone.”
Please, specify your, undoubtedly, intelligent assessment:
1. Do Russians need our territory?
2. Do Russians want our natural resources?
3. Are the Russians our ideological adversary - same as communist China, Soviet Union, etc.?
What would be their motivation to destroy us and our system of government at the risk of nuclear war? Especially when their rich and powerful want to live, educate their children and spend their money in the West (Europe and US)? Just for the hell of it, or maybe because they have bears walking down the streets of Moscow?
There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.
Russia was one of the first countries which recognized the newly independent United States of America. We had good relations until the Bolsheviks took over.
It even gave us a good real estate deal.
The USA has some problems but I’ll stand by her. Enjoy your new found gods.
