Dude, I don’t love the USA and I know it did plenty of bad things, but even so I don’t remember the US killing millions of its own people or sending them gulags because they seemed “suspicious”.(I know about the Japanese Americans in WW2 and still does not compare). I don’t disagree that they too pursue their interests cold heartedly around the world but does your hatred for the US make you blind. Learn to distinguish the shades of gray here. There is no black and white in this world.
Even if aspects of its culture are global now, do you think it’s equal to having to start speaking Russian the next day or be killed or imprisoned, because that’s what you’re comparing the spread of English and American pop culture to.
If I were to choose between 2 evils, US and Russia to conquer my country I’d choose the US in a heartbeat. My people have seen what the Russians are like already, some of them for the past 200 years, They have been so manipulated by them they don’t even know who they are and what language or history it is they have.

Also I’m rather tired of people butting in on criticism of a certain country and saying the other one did the same or worse. So what, criticizing the US does not make me love Russia or the other way around

I got a feeling that this thread will break the last record on comments count with all the flaming+political ideas around.

Ukraine is roughly 20 percent Russian mainly based in the eastern and Southern portions. The majority has ruled but Putin didn’t like it. The rest of the former socialist republics should be concerned.

The fact that the Crimea peninsula doesn’t belong to the Russians was mistake at the end of the cold war. Just remember that putin is a product of the Soviet KGB. He is slowly establishing a new Soviet state in Russia similar to communist China.

Putin should leave the revolutions in Syria and Ukraine and everywhere else the fuck alone.

They won’t take one of our islands. We will give them one cause we consider them friends and allies. (with the right government of course, not the appointed goons) If EU and US haven’t given them all to Turkey by then. 1996 imia…

I think Stalin (creator of Holdomar) is from your brother country Georgia, not Russia

> It systematically tried to control other lands and populations by forcefully changing their culture and imposing their own
Is that why nowadays kids drink Coca-Cola®, go to McDonalds™ and actually know more about Spiderman and Batman than about any historical person of their countries? Or is that why I am replying to you in English? Cultural influence of United States is much more noticeable, to say the least, and Americans have not even invaded my country yet (thank god that we don’t have any valuable resources). Now I don’t think that this is bad, but it’s not any better than what Russians would probably do if they had the strength.

>I perceive Russia’s methods as being more crude and cruel
White phosphorus and cluster bombs are equally cruel regardless of which country’s army uses them. Soldiers are prone to killing for fun and raping regardless of their nationality. And I don’t see why destabilizing other countries almost to the point of anarchy (this becomes some kind of national sport for US; guess they just like to wipe out arab people) is more gentle than taking control of some territory and establishing puppet government. Can anyone really tell which kind of shit is tastier?
