How on Earth are you comparing the Moscow government and economic system to the USA/NATO one? They have nothing in common other than their internal economic structure.

It's the principle of the thing, not a memberwise comparison; but I get the sense that you're going to deliberately look past that point to keep arguing, so I'm disengaging from this. I genuinely don't have the patience to argue this with you when you're picking bits and pieces out of my point to cobble your own interpretation of what I said.

I'm tryna not crash out today, dammit.
