Mostly correct, but Russia isn't a part of this. They're one of the few conservative nations left on earth.

Iran is conservative af.

So is the PRC, really.

After several years studying Mandarin, I can say with absolute confidence that the Chinese are some of the most racist people in the world. They're very much about maintaining customs and all that.

Just because they're not on the approved GOP roster doesn't mean they're not "conservative." Maybe not conservative in the sense of strong private property rights or their willingness to help our defense apparatus... which, of course, wouldn't be that conservative, anyway. You probably don't want the PRC stationing troops in our territory. And we know why. It represents a threat to us. It diminishes our strength and culture.

The whole idea of destroying people's culture to defeat them while minimizing military losses is not new. It's not even new for the neo-Maoists in American government- and they've been at it, slavering for this very day for over a century. The Romans perfected it. But the Grecians did it. It was done among the tribes in Africa. Sun Tzu wrote about it. Before a unified Italy, it was done there- Clausewitz wrote about it.

Our government did it for a very long time to the ethnic Han, or Chinese people. FDR's grandpa sold heroin for a living, for all intents and purposes. And he sold it to the Chinese. The elder Bushes profited from slave labor in Nazi Germany while we worked with the Soviets to craft plans to divide essentially every modern nation-state by ethnic or religious differences. India/Pakistan, Israel/"Palestineans," Eritrea/Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, India/Pakistan, China/Japan, Burmese divisions, Indonesian divisions...

Look, the point is, the Russian Federation isn't one of the last conservative nation-states.

It's just one of the last nation-states with leadership you agree with (which is ironic, since Putin is in deep with drugs and probably child trafficking and is literally a former commie who centrally plans his economy).

It's like you completely missed my point.

You said that the Russian Federation is one of the last conservative nations left on Earth.

It's not.

I explained why it's not.

So, either that was your point, or...

Your point was that the Russian Federation is NOT an enemy of the American government? That it WOULDN"T attack the CONUS if given half an opportunity?

Well, that, too, is wrong.

Russian Tu-95s get intercepted in our airspace with frightening regularity. Putin hired former Spetsnaz working for the Wagner Group to attack a SOCOM command post in Raqqa, Syria. Ransomware attacks. Etc. Etc.
