      I’d argue we’re a lot more like the British empire in their glory days- exporting authoritarianism, subjugation, and hate globally, for as long as it serves our material benefit.

      We learned from the best 🤷‍♂️

      We are not just like Russia.

      We aren’t exceptional though, you got that right. America hasn’t been exceptional in decades.

      Given that Russia has a competent government and isn’t on a verge of a civil war, not sure in what way America is like Russia.
