“The mere idea of Russia being dismantled (due to internal struggles) and/or demoted in geopolitical importance seems to raise your hackles.
Strange, for someone who calls himself an American patriot!
Well: Go on and keep denying it!”
I don’t deny it raises my hackles because who is going to do it? Yep, the USA, good old Uncle Sucker again. That’s what the warmonger Ukraine shills here want, for us to do it for them. It’s easy for them because they won’t have to pay the price.

Stop right there! A true American patriot would, upon contemplating the dismantling of Russia - who, in one form (Soviet Russia) or another (Russian Federation) has been our sworn enemy for generations (with thousands of nukes aimed at our homeland ) - first break out in a prolonged and satisfied grin.
rxh4n1: [...] who is going to do it?
I SAID: "...due to internal struggles..." Reading comprehension, much?

Of course we will have to "do our part" and provide support, intelligence, etc. But when it comes to dismantling Russia, why quibble about that? The price-tag is affordable - less than what the federal govt. spends on countless other senseless projects. At the thought of the dismantling of Russia, a true American patriot would be too busy rejoicing in the fact that all of that military might which was once threatening us is going up in smoke.

Calm down, FRiend! We true American patriots are simply relishing the thought of Putin's Russia - which is hardly better than Soviet Russia - being demoted in standing, embarrassed on the world stage, degraded militarily. We are hoping that this demoralizes the Russian people - against whom we bear no grudge - to the extent that they again revolt and bring down the system. The most sanguine scenario involves a (relatively) coup d'etat and an implosion of the Russian Federation. Russia will be dismembered, and maybe we can even start denuclearizing it.
Doesn't that prospect enthuse you?
I am not a warmonger! I wish that hostilities would cease tomorrow. Putin could easily do that by immediately withdrawing his troops. If you should be angry at anyone, be angry at him.
