  1. Russia is not really capitalist, but even if it was, what makes you think that all capitalist countries are the same or have the same agenda or can get along? Russia and the US increasingly diverge from the civilized principles of Western democratic tradition. Russia has never really been about Western society or economics, it has been about building a military structure to hold all its lands together ... that is more the same kind of thing the US has been doing, but in a different way. The US began to go off the rails after WWII when FDR had more or less the same agenda as the Western democracies. The rest of the West held the course with a partial socialist, partial capitalist democracy, while the US diverged into a military superpower, slowly corrupted by the secrecy, money and power inherent in the need for the military industrial complex. The US put all its energy into defense, offense, empire, and played a game of competition with Russia, and Russia at the same time. The US took on more than it ever could have done, and so bankrupted itself, as it claimed happened to Russia, only instead of going broken it just sold off its internal system, taking from its people, as China has done, but in a different way, while the same with Russia. All 3 systems have been on the edge of war because the military industrial complex in each system has taken over each system, but in slightly different ways, and they have all different mechanics of expansionism. This is complete idiocy, except that the US clings to its freedom to point to its superiority even as it is now the least free country in the West. The US relies now more on propaganda and coercion to keep people inline and working and paying their taxes, while it has no intention of balancing its budget by taxing the people with the money or the stake in its power.
