I think it's the other way around. Russians unfortunately stupid enough to indulge in buying US goods, like iphones, movies etc.
Unlike Americans Russians know from first hand what war is, so they don't want this to happen to them again.
Americans on the other hand are so "brave" to drop bombs on nations which pose no threat to them, because they never experienced war on their own territory. Russia needs to teach them a lesson.
I think Al Qaeda already did, a few years ago. You can relax.
which to me represents more realistically the political situation in the US. And that means - we are up for a big upheaval.
Although Trump's arrival bought a temporary relief on international scene, I am afraid it's not for long. Trump might find that he'll have an enemy on hand yet again more then he really "needs."

And they are doing it exactly.. why?
That's right, because they have nothing of that kind produced domestically.
And they don't have it exactly why?...?

Russian isnt able to produce high quality consumer products. It interferes with the socio-political system and a cold climate. They can pump oil with the help of foreign equipment and technology. All scientists and inventors have long escaped to Silicon Valley. Only the designers who draw planes in 3D Max. Then TV presents it as an achievement.

Simple at best Wadym. I can up that easily. Several years ago a quarter mile of off ramp for the Nalley Valley / highway 16 /I-5 elevated interchange in Tacoma Wa had to be destroyed. It was built at the wrong angle. The workers (some with 30 plus years of experience) tried to point out at the beginning that it was wrong. They were ignored outright. 7.3 million was wasted. None of the managers faced any penalty for the monumental screw up and waste to the taxpayers.
You want to go into the homeless situation here in my city alone? Government likes to say they care, it makes them look good but in reality it's just window dressing. The numbers continue to increase. Any one can look this up.
So just how much better is my government than any other?
I won't be holding my breath. Americans have become much too sheep like in nature. Nobody is going to rock the boat and if someone ever got the nerve to upset someone well we all know what would happen then.
Its like you indicated about your mistrust of Putin/Russia when it comes to imperialism (if I interpreted it correctly). You think Russia would behave no better than the US if places were reversed for the 2. Imperial ambitions have proven to be a constant in history when great powers arise.
I have to agree and in same light governments resist change and deal with threats to them harshly.
I doubt much is going to change for Americans.
