Let's buddy up to North Korea while we're at it. Makes as much sense as hanging out with Putin.

If they are supposed to be helping us with ISIS, why is Russia pulling all of its troops out of Syria?

They've done more to combat isis than we have? I mean would you rather send in US troops to replace the leaving Russians?

Well. If her people hate not being "free" enough, they will revolt. How many revolutions has Russia had? A country that large won't work under democracy. It's simply too large.

You think America is diverse? We don't have shite on the diversity of Russia. There are simply way too many different cultures and ethnic groups in Russia for a democracy to flourish. Not to mention the sheer size of the country. Ruling with an iron fist is the only way to rule Russia.

To quote the Highlander story:

There can be only one.

Russia still aspires to be the dominant world power, a position we (the US) still occupy. Short term alliances and cooperation will always be an option, but ultimately they want to supplant us, and we should be aware of that. They WILL discredit and undermine us on the international stage every chance they get.

I've been friends with Russia.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Russia needs an external entity/enemy to blame for its failure, to keep Putin in power. A Russian relationship with America is risky for Putin unless it pays dividends quickly.

Russia is fighting the globalist beast right now. We should be friends with them. But we are under the thumb of the globalist machine pretty hard right now. Many people are fully indoctrinated and can't see past the mainstream vision they've been taught.

We are the chaos agents right now. We are the new Soviets. Russia is the old America.

So, Obama was right?

I thought he was crazy at the time. Still do. But, you agree with him? Good to know.

Democracy doesn't work for everyone. Sure as hell doesn't work in the middle east. Who cares if their society is as free as ours? Seems to me like you're against diversity. Just because they don't see things the way we see them all the time doesn't mean we can't work together.


I do not care about diversity at all. Russia is a corrupt, autocratic criminal enterprise doubling as a nation state. Their interests and ours do not align.
