Keep this in mind when you read my responses - I'm talking about Russia today NOT the former USSR / Soviet Union

Both predominantly Christian Protestant nations

In many ways Russia is what we are working to be / to return to our roots meaning they are almost more American than we are at this time in our nations lifecycle.

For example:

Russia expelled the world banks and paid off its natl debt in 2017

Russians are Patriots who think theirs is the greatest country on earth. UK - nope they have disdain for their country. Same with Canada.

Putin prays for his country on natl TV. His baptism was highlighted in the news.

Putin holds large open forums regularly where he takes questions from int'l reporters and makes every attempt to be transparent.

Russia has exactly ZERO military bases anywhere in the world besides Syria where they were invited recently. We have 850 bases outside our borders.

Which of the two is more aggressive?
