The huge difference between Russia and the Soviet Union is that Soviet Union had a messianic, religious ideology it was promoting throughout the world. Yes, it worked for national power, but it cloaked itself in the religion of global marxism
Russia is the opposite. It works for national power, but its ideology is now the opposite. It focuses on Russian culture, Russian religion, Russian language and Russian race. It has no ideology to sell the world.
That makes a very typical nation, and you engage it in the same way as all rivals
——It works for national power,-—
It appears to work for national power. In fact, Putin’s primary function is to keep Mother Russia from dying, to keep her alive.
There is a reason the globalists despise Trump and Putin equally and use the same terms. And this is also why they flipped out and lost their minds that they had that press conference together.
Good points.
But, the international communists are not supporting russia, but socialism.
