I think Russia is just clinging to their existence, literally.

While some here try to rewarm old Cold War boogyman, Russia in reality is weak and we’re all over them.

We’re the ones that have taken away Iraq, much of Syria, Libya, and trying to topple the government in Venezuela. All of them are oil producing nations. All of them are Russia aligned. Meanwhile, we’re in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and trying to make Ukraine and the republic of Georgia ours. These are border states and former parts of the Soviet Union.

Russia is a has-been, a former world power, in conventional means they are no more.

While I know on what side my bread is buttered, I also don’t want to be played as a fool or lie about what’s really going on.

This isn’t Russia stomping all over rebuilding a Soviet empire. This is us smelling the blood in the water and going after them in their frontier nations and border states. This is the bigger stronger empire eating up the smaller, weaker, former empire. It’s a story repeated since the begining of time on all the continents except Antarctica.

Today we don’t see ourselves as an empire, even though we are.
