No blame intended. This is not the fault of the Russians and, of course, Russians should be aware of the intentions of some in Washington and Ottawa (I am in Canada). Please know that many North Americans are appalled by the anti-Russian actions and statements of our respective governments. But, as I'm sure you are aware, we are in the midst of a Marxist/Techno-Fascist takeover which aims to create chaos everywhere.

Some of them. It’s complicated and confusing. This article and the comments have motivated me to think about the nature of the USA. Is the USA nothing more than an imperialistic nationalist entity determined to bully the world?

I think the USA is a lot more and a lot better than that, but I need to clarify why I think so in my own head more clearly before I try to express it here.

As for Europeans, I will leave it to them to do their own clarification.

Asians of all kinds already seem to be clarifying.

I suppose I could add a statement and stand by it:

The USA and Russia have several things in common:

1. They are both continental powers extending from one great sea to another, with the Arctic Ocean to the north.

2. The both started with a clear idea of their destiny.

3. They both have serious problems on their southern borders.

4. They both had to assimilate many nations with diverse cultures.

(As for corruption in both places, I will leave that discussion for later.)
