You have created a vast forest of straw men in your responses above.
I am not barracking for any imperialist state.
I do not think Russia is the USSR, either in ideology or power; but neither is it merely a gas station with nukes.
I am barracking for decentralisation, sound money, limited government, freedom and real choices for the people of the world.
BTC as global reserve currency. Hive and Hive like decentralised social and limited governmental systems. Exploration and settlement of Mars and other bodies in the solar system to create physical space for human freedom and alternative systems.
But for that to happen the current global hegemon must be brought back to size with much smaller government and limited in action to its own territory as its Founding Fathers intended.
While you talk about Russian decay outside Moscow and this may be true, I have seen American decay all over that country, including, indeed at worst, in its capital. Only its rural areas are still civilisationally strong.
US patrols of the world's oceans are necessary for America, Europe and Asia to be connected by trade. They are not necessary for land based trade between Russia, China, India, Asia, Africa and Europe. This is where new trade routes, outside US influence are being built. US Naval power advantages only itself and its European and Pacific vassal states.
A Eurasian continent united against the USA is always what it has rightly feared. That's why it fought the Nazis and the Communists - not because of any moral superiority.
Only the UK showed moral superiority by refusing Hitler's generous offer of a continued British Empire under German hegemony; instead handing the keys to Empire to the US.
Ironically American strategic imperial over-reach in Ukraine and elsewhere has created what seemed impossible - strategic and operational cooperation between the major Eurasian powers with the support of smaller ones.
