Russia is just another country standing in the way of the geographical, political, economic, and financial empire building in Europe/Middle East/Central Asia. They aren't a real threat on a global scale, as they wield almost zero soft or cultural power. Nuclear weapons and land forces mean little in the 21st century outside a major shooting/total war, which isn't going to happen. I'm not even sure Russia could roll over Poland at this point anymore, let alone the EU.

The real question is why are we selling out to China? They threaten our corporations intellectual property and some point the Chinese will cut them off once they advance to our level. It must be an NWO conspiracy plot or our Deep State is planning to go after the Chinese when they have conquered the rest of Europe/Asia/ME on their Risk board.
