I’d argue we’re a lot more like the British empire in their glory days- exporting authoritarianism, subjugation, and hate globally, for as long as it serves our material benefit.
You call competent a government that pulled the “special military operation” and led hundreds of thousands of its people into death for not much of anything? You must be trolling.
So not trolling, alright. Sounds to me like you consider them competent in what they did well while not subtracting what they didn’t. Let me contrast the Russian government with something that to me looks much more competent - the Chinese government.
You know exactly what I mean by that. Who runs Russia after he dies and how will that person be selected? Until you can answer that question, your claims of Russia’s “stability” will remain ridiculous.
They aren’t exceptional. They’re just like Russia.

We learned from the best 🤷♂️
We are not just like Russia.
We aren’t exceptional though, you got that right. America hasn’t been exceptional in decades.
Oh, it has… just not in the ways anyone would desire to be considered exceptional.

This argument is dependent on Putin being immortal.

Typical of American exceptionalism to stand other country on the verge of existential crisis and when they react call that “for not much of anything”
