Russia has been very responsible for the past 20 years while the US has orchestrated “color revolutions” all over the world and installed Marxists to advance the US globalist agenda. Russia warned for 15 years that forcing NATO further east and ultimately to Ukraine would cause war. The US wanted war and it got war. Russia is a far less corrupt regime than the US Deep State, which has been running things around the world with no authority to do so for many decades.
“The US wanted war and it got war.”
I agree with almost everything you posted, and OBVIOUSLY the US is far more corrupt than Russia, as we now see with DOGE.
One exception: The Neocons never wanted war against Russia, as far as I can tell, since the Neocons allowed our military to be the laughing stock of the world - with all the Woke crap and constant shrinkage in manpower, ship count, and just about every other measurable parameter.
Instead, I suspect that the Neocons figured they could take over the Black Sea, after taking Crimea, and turn Russia into a much weaker regional power, ripe for ‘Regime Change’. All they needed as ONE HISTORIAN who’s familiar with Russia to tell them that war was what they were going to get...but I guess the $100B or so Black Ops Budget was too stingy for that one historian.
