This is why the US constantly works to weaken both and to keep them at odds.No, it isnt. You are really full of shit, arent you? For how long are you buying those alt right talking points now? Arent you at some point embarrassed to be so gullible?
Please explain how the US is responsible for the eastern front in 1914.
Please explain how the US is responsible for June 1941.
Please explain how the US is responsible for the Soviet Union keeping a puppet regime in Eastern Germany for a whole generation.
Please explain how the US is responsible for the Soviet Union dismantling 2400 Companies and shipping them to mother Russia, for reducing East Germanys economy by 30% (compared to 1944), for moving 11.000km of railway lines to Russia, thus reducing railway lines by 48% (compared to 1938).
Please explain how the US is responsible for the Soviet Union from 1946-1953 moving goods worth 22% of East Germanys GDP to Russia, for free of course.
East Germany paid the highest reparations of any country in the 20th century, TO RUSSIA, and 98% of all reparations of postwar Germany. Per capita the Soviet Union made eastern germans pay 130-fold compared to western germans. Try to put the blame on the US for this, motherfucker.
Damn, you are so dumb.

For example, Mercedes Benz does good business in Russia (or they did until they patriotically pulled out last year).
Are you really comparing St. Petersburg, the second most important city in Russia (if not the first, pop. 5million) with Trenton, NJ (pop. 90 thousand)?
Why not compare Trent with Michurinsk or Magadan instead?
Average Salary in Michurinsk: $540 https://bdeex.com/tambovskaya-oblast/michurinsk/
Average Salary in Magadan: $1 840 https://bdeex.com/magadanskaya-oblast/magadan/
Average Household income: $66,002 (yearly), $5500 (monthly) https://www.point2homes.com/US/Neighborh...phics.html
Heck, even St. Petersburg doesn't look great: $1 230 (https://bdeex.com/saint-petersburg/)
