Mostly unfettered access to the internet and the advent/unrestrained growth of social media.

It has left western society superficial, vapid, and untethered from its roots.

I agree

we are and will be more in the future,it`s all a created scenario,to keep the MIC machine rolling we must have enemies and an existing threat

Not sure of what you are trying to say.

But muh democracy. We only befriend democracy friendly countries like Iran. We point and sneer at Russia for corrupt government...while Iran be imprisoning women for showing their hair.

Russia is a mafia run gas station with probably the lowest standard of living in the west. A lower life expectancy than just about any country outside of Africa. Internal infrastructure sucks.Outside of Moscow and St.Petersburg most of Russia is barely second world.

Culturally, Russia has about a 6% church attendance rate. High levels of poverty a declining birth rate and a high abortion rate that makes ours seem conservative by comparison. The corruption in day to day life is almost cartoonist. In the US if you want to start a business you can with minimal interference overall. In Russia if you want to start a business first pay off the state and then payoff the oligarchs and mafia......then you can be "partners". Good luck at obtaining any real ownership of land.

US is not perfect, no place is, but this love for Russia and Putin borders on the idiotic.It is the talk of fools.

Because we have become the “bad guys”
On the world stage, the Global Bullies controlled by the Banking Cartel & believe it or not, Russia is against the people That run our country.

We are totally fricked!

Russia doesn't have allies in the true sense of the word.

I’d still think we have much more in common with them than they do with Iran, China, N. Korea, etc.

You need to think about that lol.

Russia is an authoritarian dictatorship who is friends with other authoritarian regimes, for various reasons. They have a lot more in common than free, western liberal democratic nations

Russia is potentially our closest ally

It is true that Putin has abandoned appealing to liberals, but it's wrong to call him a conservative. He has firmly rejected classical liberalism. He makes overtures to cultural conservativism to try and control and pacify the masses. It's all an act. He's not religious, not married, and doesn't have a family iirc.

Putin is former KGB and had years of hardcore vetting in a Communist state. People who think he's sincere about being religious likely also think strippers really do like them, too.
