It's good to see that most of us have a realistic assesment. The US is an obviously bigger threat to us than Russia, economically, militarily, interference, etc.

    The US is far more likely to be involved in starting WW3 than russia's part in it. The US also probably thinks its the only way to "be great again" by having another post war economic miracle.

    Absolutely right. And quite realistically scary actually. They have the experience post-WWII and some people in the circles of power are certainly making that argument. Some large firms would benefit tremendously, others would lose. I imagine the prospective losers are the ones making the counterargument.
