As to the rest of the post, suffice it to say that we share little in common with Russia, her peoples, or her government.

No, I don't refer to people. Russians sucks. They are lazy dreamers and thinkers. When they wake up, they do revolution, break everything and start from a scratch, running out of gas half way through. It is Russian history from Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Greatest, Lenin and Gorbachev.
Americans are doers, so there is a hope.
However the countries have similarities, such as
Huge, corrupt political system, unable to reform
Ideologically closed systems.
Spread of their ideology and control over the glove, using blunt force.
Inefficient economics.
Out of control military budgets.
Largest in a world penitentiary systems (Gulag – 3 mil, current US -7.3 mil)
Full control over a population. I’m cranky here, I recently had a day when I was fingerprinted three times – CDL, TWIC, and while cashing a check, all three times I paid for the service. My credit report and DAC report contains more info about me than KGB file ever had, if there was such a file.
And, finally, unexplainable believe in their Grandness
