America has become fatter, gayer, trannyer, more atomized, less religious and broke on the national and individual level since the inception of the Cold War.

Additionally, the culture is dead and the rule of law is dead.

We have also exchanged a reasonably nationalist governemnt for neo con and neo lib looters.

Tell me how Russia is worse off? Please note they rejected the neocon and neolib looters after the fall of Communism.

That was the neolibs and neocons. Putin shut down that nonsense a long time ago. The oligarchs there now work for Putin.

Life expectancy, alcoholism, weakened currency, contraction of the economy, de-factor dictatorship, radical wealth polarization to the super-rich, and on and on. Russia is a hellhole compared to virtually any modern economy in the world.

Those trends are all positive and they have been attacked by US economically for years. But yes, their males die incredibly young from heart attacks and drink. Other than that you exaggerate and remove sanctions etc... Also,

The point is, we've grown weaker since the Cold War and they are getting stronger.

Map: U.S. Ranks Near Bottom on Income Inequality
Income inequality is more severe in the U.S. than it is in nearly all of West Africa, North Africa, Europe, and Asia. We're on par with some of the world's most troubled countries, and not far from the perpetual conflict zones of Latin American and Sub-Saharan Africa. Our income gap is also getting worse, having widened both in absolute and relative terms since the 1980s.
Life expectancy in Russia was low among males, primarily due to alcoholism. In the last decade it in creased by over 10 years. Weakened currency is beneficial for Russia, contracted economy - brought about mostly by the sanctions in response to the conflict in Ukraine (I hope we are not going to go back arguing about its nature) - is improving, in spite of the sanctions.

Economic data is useful for economists and journalists to masturbate over, but it does not reflect the reality on the ground. According to the economic data Australia is in recession right now, and I have never seen this place so alive since 2004 when I moved here.

Wealth is not income. 35% of Russian household wealth is controlled by ~100 people.

End of Cold War predates the digital economy which we dominate by an insane margin, creating 41% of worlds billionaires. We're followed by Asian countries that aren't Russia. Russia doesn't even dominate non-white countries any more, which for racists has to burn a bit.

Russia was a super power. Now the best you could say is maybe they're top 5, but everybody's broke except for a few rich people who make Saudis look classy.

To make it simpler: the side in an economic conflict supplying the mail order brides is probably not coming out ahead

The US is still an economic powerhouse. Not all the middle class wealth has been stripped away. Russian women are just getting in on the looting. But Russia, despite being in a war with us, has been steadily improving and is healthier now than it was. We on the other hand, have been cratering and are just as inequitably arranged. We also, have gays, trannys, queers, furries and massive white male suicide.

No. It is all just impersonal forces resulting in the ever spiraling upward of ascension of Whig History.

No, we are all intelligent actors maximizing our individual outcomes resulting in postive societal outcomes.

Isn't it obvious?
