Does Russia have any allies left in Europe?

Just some anecdotes, the gigantic growing poverty, animosity between rich-poor, urban-rural, disconnect between ruling class and citizenry, regional and ethnic separatism, two decades of embracing "race war" accelerationism, real radicalization, real asymmetry radicals, succumbing to hybrid warfare and massive systemic drug addictions, discredited federal government, broken infrastructure, broken education system, broken health system, no commonalities with other citizens, feudal warlords ruling provinces in the southern neighbor, militarization of the American public, street gangs, militias, terror cells etc.

I see you've been getting your news about America from CNN lol.

America is still the nation that produces the most number of millionaires in the world. Big cities have a homeless problem and drug addiction is rampant, that is true. But Russia has a gang problem and young boys rob local schools which is a bigger problem, because the youth of your generation turn to crime and drug addiction instead of towards education and innovation. America's universities are still considered top rate and attracts talent from all around the world, which is the only thing that matters in a technology race.

If you spend some time in middle America, in suburban cities, away from big cities, you will see just how privileged most Americans are. The health system is actually quite good compared to most other nations. I've had experience with the health system in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia, and by far, the US has the best hospitals and quality of care. As long as one is employed by a corporation one has all health coverage costs paid for you, and for those who don't have health insurance, alternative medicine, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine is widespread and walk-in minute clinics are available, and actually makes for a healthier population rather than replying on hospitals which only understand polypharmacy and prolonging disease states.

When Nixon finished the long-term strategic goal of the debasing the currency in pursuit of implicit economic life-support doctrine, it became entirely dependent upon the imperial control of global trade.

I'm not sure what you mean by debasing the currency, Nixon got rid of the gold standard and instead made the US dollar the reserve currency, hence controlling global trade.

1 US dollar = 73 Russian Rubles. The Russian ruble is the world's most undervalued currency, next to Turkey's lira...although I assume Mr. Putin is much more financially astute than Mr. Erdogan and won't dramatically raise interest rates within a short time frame and cause hyperinflation of the Russian currency.

However, we're moving towards a society in which there will be no more national currencies in the future and instead towards a credit clearing system. Russia has a lot of natural resources, so has an advantage in this respect, but does not provide a high standard of living for the average Russian.

Russia should focus on developing Siberia, not simply maintaining and enriching Moscow elites.

I won't say more on this subject. America will be lucky if it maintains it's territorial integrity over the next decades.

This seems rooted in old Soviet thinking- expanding geographical territories. The world doesn't work that way anymore as it did in the days of imperial powers. What is more important nowadays it the soft power a nation has through its corporations. Currently, Russia has no soft power because it only has a monopoly on fossil fuels in Eurasia. Russia needs to develop its technology companies, but unfortunately most young Russians choose to leave Russia to launch companies elsewhere. Hence why development of Siberia is an important investment in Russia's future generations.

Tell me of a Russian brand that has global influence...there is none. Russia had Telegram, but the US poached them, so now it's America's brand. You see how that works? In today's world, all power is soft power.
