[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More importantly, PP, Russia is not an existential threat to the U.S., and has no interest in harming the U.S. Russia has interests globally and wants to expand its influence, like any other country, and they are entitled to pursue that cause. [/quote] I'd agree with the first but not the second. I think Russia would be happy to "hurt" the United States because Russia genuinely believes it has [i]been[/i] hurt by the United States. Economically (some of the advice that Big Thinkers gave during the transition was really terrible), politically (they consider our support for democracy to be meddling) and militarily (they are pissed about NATO expansion). [/quote] Then it's not like they have no point, is it. Russia would be happy if its own influence increased and the U.S.'s diminished, particularly in the areas close to the Russian borders, but that's a perfectly normal thing for a country to wish for.
