Communism and Western Democracy were in an international struggle of ideology. Russia currently could give one's rats ass about that. However, Russia is interested in recapturing lost provinces and lost military prowess. Challenging the US got Russia into the shithole she's in now. I doubt she's going to try again. Though - I think we all may be better with Russia as one really big and easily observable opponent instead of lots of little difficult to watch threats - blah bl;ah b;ah | |
