What is your perception of Russia?

Honestly I have known a few Russians in my lifetime. The global propaganda is actually a lot of b******* most Russians like Putin want to be pretty much left alone the only thing that they are interested in rebuilding is a great economy and Russia's greatness on the global stage they are not looking for bloodthirsty world domination all that agenda died in the seventies under Brezhnev. Since perestroika the only thing that most Russians are interested in is living a good and decent life. The Russian military is happiest when it is not at war and no one is shooting at them and they are not shooting in return. The main reason that Putin and Trump got along was because they were on the same page and rebuilding their country's futures not because there was some Grand conspiracy that's all trash. On cultural footnotes the Russian respects a strong back and a strong drive to succeed Russia by nature does not like weeklings nor pansies. The Russian mind plays chess not checkers their perception looks into the future for the long game whereas many Western countries look for short-term gain
