    The American experiment has been very short-lived in the grand scheme of things. Russia has been on the map way longer and will remain on the map way longer than the US, in one shape or another. Your culture wars are completely self destructive and you will go down through self implosion. That is my forecast. Take it for whatever it's worth.

    It's hilarious how the left is drooling all over the 12 hours of the coup attempt in Russia when your insurrection almost upended your short Republic, stuff that still makes the news years after. I think Americans have lost all rights to point fingers at others when your own people shitted on the desks of your leaders in the capital and burned American flags. When ordinary Russians start burning Russian flags wake me up.

  4. In one shape or another...

    I don't see anyone saying Russia would cease to exist as a country, unless they're stupid enough to use a nuke at some point, but there's plenty of failed states in this world and Russia may be well on the way already.

    I'm from Norway, actually, but I know that I would bet on and invest my money in the USA 100 % of the time and not in Russia.

    To say that you think the USA will "go down" way before Russia seems completely irrational and without any valid arguments for why and how that would play out. Sure, the US have issues that are concerning, but I'm still bullish on the USA.

    Where are you from by the way? Are you Russian?

    To put a finer point on this what we call Russia today is actually the Russian Federation. Historically “Russia” ended after the First World War with the Russian Revolution. It became like the Russian federation of soviet socialist or something like that.

    No I am not. Just an educated world citizen who does not believe the lies spouted by the American elite. The US is an utterly failed state for over 95% of its inhabitants. American dream, lol.

    There are no culture wars, there is liberal democracy that respects individual freedom and then there are religious orthodox types like you who want to force everyone to be uniform and live under a monarchy directed by the church. You have no qualms over the brutal suppression of individual liberty that has been the norm in Russia because you yourself don't respect it.

    Yup, like the respect for the unborn life. Lol. Start respecting the unborn then you can care all day for the lives of the born ones.

    That’s the problem with Russia it’s always in one shape or another. You have to remember Russia was never really a power in its own right, its power was derived from the USSR. You’re seeing Russian power right now and it’s not looking very strong.

    If we’ve learned anything from Putin’s debacle it’s how strong the US and Western Europe actually is.
