There are three decisive factors that determine the motives and goings of politics. The first factor is: power. The second is: power. And then the third is: power. Whoever thinks that politics is about finding reasonable answers to something, already approaches the issue of politics in a completely misled and mistaken attitude. - free quote after Roland Baader, German libertarian

The US is no exception from this, nor is it Russia. Both are imperial actors, or long to be imperial actors. None of them is holy, and none of them represents "just causes". That is just lies both tell their own people as an excuse. Their methods and ways may differ on not more than the cosmetic level. But their intentions and motives are the very same. None of the two is morally better than the other.

I do not chose between the two anymore. I reject both. Choosing between them, ilustrates a childish naivety, imo, comparable to still believing in good Santa Claus.
