16:30 Yes @JakeBroe, I can summarize it for you, *even though I'm not a US citizen*, or perhaps precisely because I'm not a US citizen so I feel free to judge the USA without feeling guilty of treason.
First, I will give you a reminder of the process, then note how the US case flavors it.
The process:
1. *No regime is perfect, no people are perfect. The U.S. has real flaws, faults and guilts, just like any other nation.
2. Democracy implies *freedom of speech*, so we can talk about those flaws and work together to correct them. What people tend to forget is that with freedom comes responsibility. Not everyone accepts full responsibility.
3. This great freedom leaves plenty of room for cult gurus (religious leaders, political leaders, corporations, etc...) to forge unverifiable silly ideas in order to gain influence over easy believers: they create a virtual problem, fuel the fear, and then get rewards, get paid by presenting themselves or their brand as the only solution. This constantly challenges the known, which is both good and bad. It's good for the most intelligent and wealthy people who have time to think, because it's an incentive to check and understand even better what is known. It's a deadly mental trap for not-so-intelligent people and those who don't have time, because it gives them easy pre-conceived ideas and discourages real investigation. Notable by-products of all this are injustices, more frustration than necessary, and a whole lot of superstitions.
4. Would-be tyrants, even foreign ones, can then exploit these superstitions. They can stir up anger in oppositions to create turmoil and destabilize competing nations from within. They can also tailor their narrative to pre-existing trends in order to draw the believers of other gurus to their cause. Think of it as an international belief market where people place their bets and withdraw informal social credit. The state of this belief market is quite divorced from reality for the same reason that the trading market is divorced from reality most of the time. (I could explain how this divorce happen if needed. It's simple math with derivatives). Power-hungry individuals use their leverage on such market to move the crowd in their favor.
The USA case:
1. Democratic or not, the USA has a bloody history since colonization. Slavery did a lot of damage to relations between communities (the fact that US citizens to talk about "races" is nut). The CIA has done shady, dirty things. G.W.Bush was rightly seen as a butcher in Iraq, Afghanistan is also a thing too, etc.
2. This led to natural questions, debates, political oppositions, expressions of real frustrations.
3. People came up with a lot of explanations and justifications, including a bunch of fictions made to please, seduce the people in need of answers. Dishonest explanations were given to protect or value existing communities, then new communities emerged from incoming lost people in need for a family.
Each author tried to convince that his explanation was the best because it sells. Some of them managed to capitalize on a lot of nonsense, mainly mixing reinterpreted Christian lore (the main religion of colonization), a lot of xenophobia (a classic that always works), and *extreme conspiracy theories*, which are perfect for pointing out arbitrary enemies at will, either to increase fears or to destroy competitors. More specific to the US is the anti-woke narrative, which could only exist with a serious woke phenomenon. They would attack the hippies instead, otherwise they would only get the mysogynist vote, but the woke are an easier target because of their own insanity. And of course the very peculiar relationship with guns. The gun industry has pushed the narrative that US citizens have the right to kill in self-defense so far that it can now be used to sell Republicans as brave warriors and revolutionaries (and not just immature drunken punks), even though they are extremely conservative.
As you can see, they are picking from any rack, reaping what other sects have sown, regardless of the origin, as long as it sells.
4. At this point it's very simple: both an opposition and the ex-USSR wanting more power repeat that the current US government is very bad and that they can offer better, so both are tempted to fuel their power with the other's narrative, so much that they merge.
"Qui se ressemble s'assemble", as we say around here.
In the end, the why of the why is always the same: people are afraid of many things (death, suffering, loneliness, the unknown, etc...), and that gives power to people who are able to convince them that they can somehow save them.
The less they explain how they're going to save, the more people think it's too difficult for them, the more they give up and just hope that their leader will solve their problems for them. The more they delegate politics, the less they solve anything, the bigger the real problems and the more dependent they end up.
People like D.Trump, E.Musk or В.В.Пу́тин can't produce. They are very incompetent in creation. So they live by parasitism. They gain power by leveraging and monopolizing values in the belief market, and it works well for them. В.В.Пу́тин is richer so he should operate the fusion, including the US branch.
Remember: it's not what they say, it's what we hope to hear. It's all based on OUR fears. No fear, no power in their hands.

14:04 And this is where you are a complete moron , or more likely a pure liar an asshole , Sir Orbán.
It's not that the European nations can't destroy the Moscovian war machine all by themselves if necessary. It's just that they don't want to make the effort and terrible sacrifices necessary to do so and are still hoping that the Ukrainian resistance and multi-continental deterrence will be enough.
But if, as you dream, the USA stops deterring Moscovia, and Moscovia is so deluded by such a brief political victory that it starts to believes that the Europeans won't defend themselves, then Moscovia will continue to attack more and more nations , with the goal of at least restoring the empire as В.В.Пу́тин promised to his fan club (if not more, because why not when respect for others is no longer a thing).
The obvious direct consequence of fewer restrictions on Moscovia's hostile policies will, of course, be more aggression from it and more wars , until a European coalition finally decides to decapitate the Moscovian Federation to solve the problem at its source. This will inevitably happen unless Moscovia learns to GENUINELY respect others by other means: reason, basic intelligence, mathematics pragmatically applied to survival, survival instinct, spiritual maturity including universality, inspiration from God, or a cure against sadism and masochism, a sane political evolution without mass corruption, whatever… all of which that Moscovia dangerously lacks by now, just like other similarly stupid nation lacked before they turned better with great pain or have been erased. The human species simply can't keep feeding bullies they sometimes decide to blindly worship. They are too expansive. This does not depend on the USA.
The non-participation of the United States of North America can only change the time needed and the amount of waste, pain and suffering before we finally get rid of the plague, but doesn't change the end.

16:11 If you U.S. citizens look to your party leaders for guidance, then you're no better than the Russians you sneer at , you'd lick the feet of slavers and do exactly the same horrible thing if told to*, and the "democracy" you're so proud of is *nothing but a word inherited from long-dead people who, unlike you, didn't choose to be cattle.
Elections don't make a democracy.
Nobody can give you democracy. Democracy is made by the daily political shore of the people. If the people don't produce their own political ideas, if they don't enforce their own self-made political ideas by their own power, if they rely on a leader to dictate them what to do, then there is no democracy, and all you're left with are, at best, pseudo-democratic rituals and silly beliefs that anyone can exploit.
Even if, by incredible chance, you get a good leader, there is no democracy where the people don't continuously make it.
