you don't need to do the whole muh us is bad too song and dance, of course governments by nature gravitate towards corruption and evil, the difference in this case is the stability namely the prosperity. as long as west can provide more prosperity, which it has so far consistently for past 500 years, west will be more attractive than russia.  the hubris comes from the assumption that west is more prosperous because of current us regime or because of some kind of a system, instead of admitting that fundamentally on deep cultural level there is something right in europeans that people should strive to copy. of course none of this will matter if west becomes niggerland but still, even if russia would dismantle west it wouldn't result is russia becoming the big g, it would just decrease the overall level of competence and life on the planet since russia at the moment has not achieved the necessary cultural core to replicate what was good about the west nor has russia cut out enough of its own cancerous tumors.
