Putin United States Follows Soviet Union' Way

The inflated conceit of the United States, according to Vladimir Putin, can play a cruel joke.

The fatal mistake of empires is their excessive self-confidence in their economic and military might, which creates the illusion that blunders and mistakes are permissible in their foreign policy.

But problems are piling up, and there comes a time when it is no longer possible to cope with them all. And the United States is firmly and steadily following in the footsteps of the Soviet Union.
