2. While I'm sure western countries have meddled in other's politics, the russkis do it better.

Well, I think. But who's to tell?

I almost see a similarity for how westerners view the markets or bottom lines. "How fast can we get a big return?" And then bail out with those rewards.

Statecraft takes long-term strategizing and cunning. Something a chess-playing oriented country would be much better than trump's "crazy-8s" or "slap-jack".
