Russia may be militaristic, but it is not a martial culture or society.
Militarism is political. Martial is cultural.
For instance, take Rome, under the Republic.
They had the Campus Mars in the center of Rome,
where the Romans practiced and trained for war ALL THE F**KING TIME.
That is why they could lose battle after battle to Hannibal, and still field armies.
Frederick the Great established a martial culture in his army.
They studied arms, tactics, and strategies. They changed any when it was called for.
The United States has a martial military. Warfare us studied and analyzed all the time.
It's theory is taught at The Naval War College and West Point.
The US has changed its doctrine over last few decades, based upon the outcomes of wargames,
and analytical study.
Russia on the other hand, talks a good game, but the results show they don't study war, and they don't understand how to strategize and perform.
Basically, the Russian military is incompetent, and they don't know what they are doing.

You really don't understand what is going on, do you???
The trade war was overtaken by geopolitical issues. It is no longer about trade.
What is wrong with China will not be fixed, cannot be fixed, by tariff agreements.
1. China's claims of sovereignty over the SCS, is really an attempt to gain economic control of the entire region.
The countries of the region rely on maritime trade through the SCS, and if China can exercise sovereignty, then all the countries will become vassal states.
That is what is really at stake. Don't you see that?? It is obvious.
2. China is bullying nations all over the world. Hostage diplomacy with Canada, and Australia.
3 Bully Australia, and India. Even threatening war with America.
4. Threatening war with Taiwan.
5. Threatening war with Japan.
6. Invading the EEZ zones of nations around the world, stealing their fish -- Argentine, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Indonesia, Japan, etc. Nations are upset. Violence has happened. Boats sunk. Sailors killed. n
All these issues go way beyond the petty concerns of a trade war.
The Quad has grown, and will likely expand into a defensive alliance against China.
You don't mention these things. Are you sleeping??

Wahhabism holds that other Suni are heretics.
So, there are really THREE branches of Islam,
Shia, Suni, and Wahhabi.
Wahhabi is the branch that rules Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabism is the religion of Al Qaida, ISIS,
Taliban, Al Shabbab, and most Islamic terror groups
They rose from the Islamic madras schools financed by Saudi money throughout the Muslim world.
All the terror groups from Pakistan to Nigeria, from Ethiopia to Syria, got their start
in the Saudi financed madrasas.
Is Saudi Arabia really our friend???
IMO, no.

@tamjidislam5558 Technically, you are right. Wahabbism does claim to be Suni.
However, it is so strict, that it condemns all Suni who do not accept Wahabbism as heretics, and says they should be killed.
Wahabbism is less tolerant of Non-Wahabbi Suni, than it is of all others.
Because of this obvious division between Wahabbi Suni, and non-Wahabbi Suni,
I identify Islam as being divided into
Wahabbi, Suni, and Shia.
For instance, Wahabbis desecrated the tombs in the Garden of The Prophets. Regular Sunis opposed this, stating it was blasphemy. But, the Wahabbists persisted, removing any imagery on the tombs, though they were put there by the earliest Muslims, who knew Muhammed personally.
