You specifically mentioned "America" in your last post

Don't be obtuse. It was a direct response to your off-topic post.

Didn't we go through this already in the blank-wall thread?

Is it your assumption that Russians continue to think the same way they thought under communism? No, it's my assumption that Russians think like Russians, and their history, which includes Communism, shapes their national viewpoint.

And I made no claim as to the relative weight of economics vs national pride, so there was no need for me to resort to absurd examples like Japan to make some sort of quantitative case.

And, as if on cue... Yeah, what, that it's 51-49, or 70-30? Are we back to lobbing articles, or did you "happen to be browsing" again?

You're thinking like an accountant.
