Russians are world obscurantists

[Anomalocaris]

Well, they would certainly have a good case.

I don’t understand how they can think so if the Americans have powerful economics and universities

They can think so because they understand america’s Weaknesses far better than any American who love his country enough to work for her overall national interests.    As a result, america’s Strength is not really america’s own to do with as she please where Russia is involved, but is instead at Russia’s beck and call.

why do Americans and British write so little about Russia in political forums? Russians write, like mad, about the United States and Ukraine, because of which the Second Cold War began?

Because Russians study Americans and British carefully and intellectually. So they know of many things about the Americans and British and have many insightful observations to make. Americans have only shallow caricatures of Russians, indeed of almost every other people in the world, including themselves, so they hardly have anything substantive to say.

Russians built a business on Americanophobia.
They have America and Europe criticized on TV around the clock.
I identify myself as Ukrainian.
I study Russia, too, does not make a profit, like the Americans.
Although the Russian language is very developed and thanks to him, I am educated.
Higher education in Ukraine in Ukrainian.
I am a master of law.
The main thing for me is to know English, as the Swedes, who are one of the richest lawyers in the world.
Russian, in principle, is not needed.
If you know English, then you will be even more educated than if you will know Russian.

I suppose its because Russia is largely an annoying irrelevance these days. We have bigger arseholes to roast have you seen Trump and Boris.

Russia is hardly an irrelevance now.  Russia has been instrumental in breaking up the western alliance, which had hitherto been the dominant geopolitical influence and reality in the world.  Russia also played critical role in the ascension of both Trump and Johnson, and of the rise of the right wing eurosceptics. Russia had set her goal to break up the western alliance and succeeding in it and thus affected more profound change to every major country’s geopolitical outlook over the last 10 years than any other country.

Russia played what appear to be a weak hand to achieve almost total victory.   America continue to revel like morons in what we conceive to be an unbeatably strong hand even while we all our chips have made their way to the other side of the table.

They managed to buy themselves a president, but I don't think that was really that expensive. Trump is nothing if not cheap.

It just shows how weak we really are if nominally the largest economy and strongest military can be so cheaply bought and made to serve the interests of a hostile, and by all appearances, 2nd tier power.

We continue to emphasize reinforcing the outward appearance of crude strength while ignoring how thoroughly rotten and corrupt at core we’ve become, to the degree that we hardly even function as a calculating world power that learns from experience.

Talk all you want to about Russian, the US, Europe - none of it matters.  We're sitting idly by while you lot destroy yourselves, then New Zealand shall rise and conquer the weakened world.

Mwa ha ha.

Yes, the sheep cavalry of New Zealand will sweep all before it.
