Go to China and Russia and see how much freedom they have and how they bully their own people as well as people all around the world (well, mostly Russia does that, China buys out foreign country interests). Trump may threaten but Russia acts surreptitiously to install itself wherever it wants to. It’s in Lebanon and Syria as well as Crimea and parts of Ukraine. Eastern Europe is afraid of Russia, not of the U.S.
