As an American we certainly aren't 'winning' in our country either. The US political elite needs to set Russia up as our enemy so they can justify the meddling of the US State Dept(CIA) in Ukraine, to steal resources from the Ukrainian people on behalf of US energy corporations such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, and steal their wealth by the Fed member banks giving out loans through the IMF. Meanwhile Russia is the only country providing protection and humanitarian aid to the million+ Ukrainian refugees.

And our elite also needs to distract from the fact our country is in a rapid state of political, economic, and social decline so that's why the elite need to demonize Russia. If the US experiences or is on the brink of yet another economic collapse the elite could drive us to war so that they can maintain power and control and keep their wealth.

And that's also not considering the fact the US has the most mentally ill and psychiatrically medicated population in the world, that our education system is inadequate and ranks very low among developed nations (with no for this solution in sight), that our political system is increasingly disenfranchising even more people with each election cycle, that we still have the most people in prison by percentage of population, that wealth disparity is increasing which in turns means less political power for the average American, and the most important fact of all is that our economy depends largely upon a violent and aggressive foreign policy of theft and murder which is not sustainable in anyway.

When we can no longer bankroll our foreign policy thieving, that will mean the BRICS nations will be there to step in with better offers and solutions for developing nations, meaning an increase in economic and political power for the rest of the world and a loss for us. And we will have no way to get it back because we burnt our bridges by violently and economically oppressing those developing countries for decades and in some cases centuries.

The hilarity is I will be downvoted like crazy for pointing all this out even though there is sound and credible precedence that the US is in a state of decline. The amount of denial and self-delusion possessed by my fellow citizens is yet another nail in the coffin for our country.

The way forward is through peace and helping one another with fair deals, not the American way by screwing everyone over.
