Ok but in Russia do they say similar things about the US? And if so then is there some backlash from Russians who believe Putin shouldn’t be dealing with the US as a potential ally?
I would not be able to say. I work with Russians but they avoid any political discussion. The few who do say something are more aligned with western views.
The little I seen from news I take are part of a bubble but show the US being ridiculed by tv hosts and the such. The US is/was the face of NATO for Russia for a long time, that narrative can shift very fast tho.
