Think you need to separate between Russia and the Putin regime. Putin and his friends/oligarchs/corrupted officials/KGB agents have kept the regular russians very very poor.

What does a regular russian citizen gain from increased corruption in EU - that used to be Russia's biggest trading partner? Or from a potential civil war in US, that is the source of most progress and new technology in the world?

"Think you need to separate between Russia and the Putin regime."

Once the Russian people can do that, the rest of us can too.

What is the difference between the people and the regime? The GOP lost elections; they voted in Obama, and later Biden. Control of the House and Senate changes, or is often perilously close.

There is no such change in Russia. There is only the regime, and it's grasp on the country is stronger than ever.

the only ones who think civil war is a real possibility in the US are foreign intelligence types pushing for destabilization, or a handful of GOP politicians trying to ride the hard right for their advantage. for all of the Texas will be independent grandstanding, it's just that -- grandstanding.
