they'll fight other countries to deflect from internal problems

Did the collapse of democracy in Russia lead to nuclear war?

[tehjoker]

It didn't which is great news, but tbh I regard the Russians as more rational than us.

[quacked]

You don't know any Russians then, haha

[lisper]

Or you don't know any self-styled "real Americans".

[tehjoker]

I'm thinking more of their cold war strategizing, but I also ask you, have you ever met an American QAnon enthusiast? ;)

[weberer]

Yes, and they seem to be mostly anti-war.

Average Russian are busy trying to live their lives. They do not wake up and start plotting WW III as a morning exercise.

The ones I know of seem pretty bent on it, especially civil war.

Nothing new. They were fighting other countries all along. Still not suicidal.
