The issue isn't about bein weak or the Russian peple; it's the hand the Russia ha been delay since WW2. American grand strategy since Ww2 has been to dominate Eurasia precisely because a unified Europe tied to Russia could create a real competitor that outmatches even the US in industrial might and technological edge. Without Germany or France as partners, Russia is trapped n its own neighborhood, facing encirclement from NATO on one side and a rising China on the other.
the U.S. has masterfully played divide-and-conquer to keep potential rivals fragmented.
As for the military, sure, the initial invasion of Ukraine exposed corruption, poor logistics, and overestimation of their own capabilitie
But look at the adaptation since 2022: Russia has mobilized its economy, outproduced the West in artillery and drones, and ground down a NATO-backed Ukraine despite unprecedented sanctions.
The real point is that russia is in a strategic trap and unless it breaks out of isolation it will be weak, which is exactly what Washington works to keep

You're bragging about 1940s technology, barren snowfields, and the world's largest collection of alcoholics.
Nobody was thinking about Russia at all until it started acting out. Obama famously didn't even bother to have a Russia policy. The world isn't conspiring against Russia, the world is mostly just ignoring Russia entirely.
The US Air Force flew 7,000 miles from their bases in the continental US to strike Iran. That's power projection. Russia can't manage to put together logistics for a war fought 50 miles from their own borders with preexisting train lines. The US has 11 carrier groups, Russia's one aircraft carrier doesn't float. Russia's Black Sea fleet doesn't control the Black Sea. Russia's strategic bomber wing had to retreat from their own airfields located deep within Russian territory.
You're about to enter the fourth year of your war against the poorest country in Europe and it looks like it's unwinnable for Russia. It's a joke. Russia wasn't able to control its own territory in Kursk against the poorest country in Europe, it needed to beg for help from the poorest country in Asia.
Let's say we accept your delusion that the US is playing divide and conquer with its global rivals. Why would that have anything to do with Russia? Russia isn't a rival. Russia isn't even in the same game. Russia needs aid from North Korea to project power within its own borders.
