Russia supports our adversaries because we still treat Russia as our adversary. A change in policy could change the global world order overnight. China and Islamists are our true enemies.
Perhaps it is because Russia is militarily expansionist.
Russia’s interests will never be aligned with ours.
Even if Earth was invaded by Little Green Men, Russia would find a way to align with them against us.
No easy solution now.
All true.
There’s no reason except that the MIC needs a good enemy to justify its existence and huge payroll.
The idea is to drain Russia economically forcing it into submission to the United States so China can be dealt with next.
The “Deep State” has been messaging China as a helper of Russia in the Ukraine War indeed signaling the ultimate end game to isolate take out China.
There was no way Stalin was going to convert to a free market, open election system. None.
Recall how the Soviets occupied eastern Europe.
Recall the Berlin Wall.
There was no negotiating with them at the time.
Unless I missed it, Russia has been supporting Iran, Syria, North Korea, and others for a very long time.
Perhaps Russia supports our adversaries because we support theirs.
When and if the US stops its aggression toward Russia, relations will improve.
So what? Explain why we should care? What happens if Russia takes over Ukraine. There are over 10 countries in Africa at war with one another - why aren’t we there one one side or another?
They keep getting drunk and walking into their neighbor’s home.
Because their leadership is evil, and they keep agitating and trying to cut us down by supporting Marxist takeovers of the US and every country they interact with, or try to keep Marxists in power wherever they find them thus.
Their communists didn’t just disappear when they switched the flag, any more than our communists became patriots when they threw aside their red color for blue. It is all just superficial so they don’t look like what they are.
Your analysis that their interest will never be aligned with ours is based on what knowledge you have that others don’t. If there is nothing beyond your personal opinion, then say ‘based on my personal opinion’.
NOTHING makes the Muslims and the Chinese happier than watching two nuclear-armed infidel Christian nations clawing at each others’ throats. Keep it up, you stupid Zelenskyy-loving idiots.
They are pretty much paranoid about anyone and everyone.
Instead, the hubris and powermongering neocon set drove Russia into China's arms. While they boast about "diplomatically isolating" Russia because the handful of has-been dying European states under Washington's thumb goes along with them, India, China, the growing BRICS block and everyone else carries on business as usual with Russia. It is Washington that is getting diplomatically isolated.
And that doesn't even get into geopolitical disasters like the wholesale loss of the Sahel, Afghanistan, the Middle East plunging back into strife and war after the Trump peace, and so on.
Because the military industrial complex needs an eternal war so they can grind out profit eternally.
Both the US and Russia are self-sufficient. There is no reason to be enemies. However it is in certain people’s interests to keep the two countries at odds. That’s the crux of it.
Yeah, you missed it. My whole point was that they’ve been supporting our enemies because we’re treating Russia as enemies. Duh.
