Not only is that a desperate attempt to parse your meaning and pretend I "don't get it," but you've completely missed how I argued that Russia's ambitions go beyond far its borders - like how I said it relies on mercenaries to enforce its interests in Africa, which includes mounting coups!

There's also the way they're committed to extending their military presence and influence throughout the Middle East, East Asia, South Asia, South America, and even the U.S. and Continental Europe - either by fomenting coups, undermining local governments, promoting domestic terrorism, or financing warlords and rebels.

If that's not a clear example of a global agenda to you, then you clearly don't know what those words mean.

Still, it's cute that you'd accuse me of deliberately twisting things to fit a narrative when you're entire argument comes down to a blatant one. But this idea that only "the west" seeks global expansion is as naive as it is stupid and represents a simple ideological mindset.

Also, it's "incapable," not "uncapable."
