Kathleen, Russia made overtures to the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They even wanted to join NATO. They were laughed at by the neocons who saw big opportunities for exploitation as like Ukraine. But now they realize that the jokers running our foreign policy are not to be trusted. We’ve broken every agreement with them for the past 30 years so they’re done with us. They’ve pivoted to the East and now yes they see the US as their enemy. But it didn’t have to be this way. So sad.
I'm worried about China, too. Also, I worry about the people running the country. I'm just saying, don't discount Russia as our enemy.
All the things we've been doing all over the world has given us many enemies. And the way our "leaders" have acted here at home has exacerbated the issue. We're ruled by despots and the world hates us (I would say, "With good reason," but maybe that's a bridge too far?)
The world hates us because the US has been the bully in the schoolyard.
Nothing like putting economic sanctions on countries because the US doesn't like how they "behave."
When countries saw Russia kicked out of the Swift banking system, Russian assets seized, the smaller countries thought, "Gee, if that can happen to a country like Russia that has nuclear weapons, what will the US do to us?"
I would be more worried about China than Russia.
Of on a tangent, but I'm more worried about our Senate, than China or Russia. Once you start down that road, its endless.
Putin opposes globalism. So that's one point in his favor.
agreed! a congress of Dual citizens with Israelis, covering for pedos, and genocide, Id prefer Putin any day.
