BANFF - The governor of the U.S. state that shares the longest border with Canada expressed dismay at the notion that his country would ever invade its southern neighbour.
You have way too much faith still, in a country that’s basically gone to absolute shit, while it’s people shrugged. The idea that the USA has a “revolutionary spirit” is a hollywood fantasy, and your argument just sounds like more “American exceptionalism”, the likes of which allowed them to sleep walk into fascism. “It couldn’t possibly be happening here, we’re AMERICA!”
Russian defectors helped capture territory for Ukraine in Belgorod Oblast, and a short lived Russian civil war occured not long after the war began.
And thats after decades in oppression and a century in authortarian turmoil. The USA with all its revolutionary spirit would be a far different story.

If you’re comparing the USA to Russia and China then ues it is better in almost every way imagineable.
