I didn't answer your Russia question as I viewed it as a deliberate distraction to the discussion at hand. But for what it's worth, I believe the so-called Cold War was another hoax. Russia and USA spent over 40 years sabre rattling while their troops never fired a single bullet in their arch-enemy's direction. The mutual bogeyman threat served to keep both their populations in fear while the connected got rich off of building nukes and tons of other armaments.
