There are a lot of slavic-Americans. Came over here, worked hard and moved up. While there are reasons to question Russia, good American-Russo relations would scare the rest of the world.
Your link is correct that Slavic did not derive from slave. The people had that name long before they were captured and sold as servants. It was the other way around, with so many of the Slavic people captured that "Slave" entered the vernacular as a term for chattel . If you can find some older printed dictionaries, you can verify this for yourself. Online there is Etymonline (dot) com, but it is starting to become politically correct over time.

Hahaha, yeah. I've worked all over Russia and every one of the Newly Independent States. That they tolerate their "Muslim lite" has nothing to do with their military. Guess how many Muslims are in their military. It's right around 0. There are a lot of different ethnic groups in that region and the majority of them are treated about as well as Gypsies. If President Trump floated the idea of fixing Eurostan's Muslim infestation I'd bet the farm that Vlad would be all over the idea.
Imagine a USA/Russia allied crusade on Eurostan to clean out the Muslim infestation! Just like the good old days.

FYI, slavic is not related to the word slave:

Flying Hussars already got our backs.
These dudes are pure Deus Vult with no racial chips on their shoulders.
Hahaha you do know that Russia has a shitton of Muslim extremists in its own territory, right?
Ever heard of Chechnya?
Putin did fuck up Isis, but the idea that he's a force against Islam is just a romantic dream.

How about not. That didn't work out so well for us last time. I'd rather go it alone.
The trick is to know when to end the relationship. Alternately we can recruit some Mongolians.
Shitty Mongorians!
