The English, the French, the Germans, the Dutch, the Swedish, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Romans, the Greeks, the Austrians, the Belgians, ...,

All gave up their psychotic empire-building games (or at least sublimated into forms not involving large-scale military conflict) long ago.

Russia's current regime, for some reason, has not.

They did not. They were subjugated by the current empire, the US and are all just fiefdoms nowadays, some of them are even occupied by military forces, called bases.

Russia isn't in that list.

Those countries are not "fiefdoms", by any stretch or interpretation.

That's just delusional.
