    As they should be. US/NATO expansion is an existential threat to Russia. CIA even more brazenly embraced would divide and conquer Russia through splitting it into warring provinces. US has no intention of improving humanity/world if it reduces subjugation to the empire.

      The last thing the US wants is a civil war and mass instability in a nuclear nation. That has the capability to shatter MAD. At best, the US wants a regime change.

        They have no qualms about taunting a nuclear powered Russia. The return of a CIA puppet like Yeltsin is not likely, but just as Ukraine, there is not the slightest US concern for the welfare/benefit of people. Just destruction, hike price of oil, sell a lot of weapons, and buy the ruins for cheap.

      Russia is the existential threat to Russia, that’s literally all of Russian history in a nutshell followed by ‘and then it got worse’.

      Russia will collapse into multiple fragments, because Russians are just idiots who have never agreed on anything without a gun pointed at their families.

      It’s hilarious how lucky China is to have the largest natural resource motherlode right next door, Russia was asking to be dismantled!
