Getting along with Russia is easy. Just listen when we say something is important to us, and try to find ways to cooperate.
For example, we can easily cooperate in anti-terrorism efforts, and nuclear proliferation control. Hell, we can even cooperate on European security (because we do care about it for many reasons).
Sorry, but "rampant cannibalism" is 100% pure fantasy. It NEVER was that bad.Bill Clinton had the opportunity to reach out to Russia after the collapse of the soviet union. Instead he let them starve and become cannibals to eat, cannibalism was rampant after the fall of the soviet union. If putin were smart he would release whatever he has on Clinton after its too late for her to be replaced.
And problem with Clinton is that she got head of state killed and laughed about it.
You might want to rethink the "0 ambitions" claim. The world's 3rd largest economy and their future plans say otherwise.

Yeah. No thanks. The Only Superpower left in the world does not need
1. Europes defenseless veiwpoints on gun control
2. China's stance on human rights
but the silver lining would be the possibility of a good dose of much needed homophobia.

thats the problem with all the "majority rule" minded individuals. a few saying no even if they are in the right will eventually lose the the moral decay that is going on around us.

West dont go along to well with countries closer to banana republics than a working or half-working democracy.
Russia already used up it once/20year chance of becoming something tolerable and it blew it like it has done every single time.
You are more than welcome when Russia resemble something other than spewing out crap like a *lets give you a giggle*, a US bring peace carpet bombing.
Untill then, enjoy your 3rd world rule of law, freedom of press and democracy indexes cos we sure dont.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
What do you mean by that? I mean, EU uses soldiers to fight it's wars, just like US does. Or are you referring to the lax gun control laws, which undoubtedly resulted in rather high gun violence, like how you guys have? Meaning the defense you mentioned is for defending yourself against other US gun owners?
You think Polish army who charged Germany tank formations on horseback could have won if the citizens had more weapons for use? WW2 era weapons, against highly trained and superior army?
And how is this even relevant to the US anyway? What threat other than yourselves do you even have, that could do deterred by it's citizens when the army of yours, failed?

This is a ludicrous scenario. It requires that the citizens are well trained and that the invading army are largely morons.
Look, we already saw what the militia fantasy crowd was capable of, in Oregon. A bunch of dick waving and that's about it. And aside from the one guy that actually died, the rest pretty much surrendered with the realization that they may actually die.
And this. If an invading army managed to get past the actual armed forces, then why would they be scared of a ragtag militia?
India and China are quite similar if you think about it, since their populations are so blatantly split. On one hand, you have people who are wealthy, well educated, generally open minded and Western oriented. While these are the kinds of people that most Westerners are likely to encounter and form stereotypes about, they are only a tiny minority back home compared to the masses of humanity eking out a living on slave wages who nobody seems to give two shits about. The prospect of these people joining the global consumer class is simply out of the question - there just aren't enough resources to allow another 2 billion people to consume at the rate of the average American.
