Considering the opposite directions America and Russia seem to be heading, I often wonder of the potential of a future scenario in which Russia will be the last man standing in fighting for Christianity and Western values, coming into direct conflict with America, which has devolved into a genuinely evil empire which celebrates depravity and decadence.
Besides the reversal of the old Cold War dichotomy, it also sounds like a sort of dystopian sci-fi novel... but in many ways, it no longer strikes me as all that far-fetched.
Especially when I see how America has so distinctly changed. Everything in the culture that was once regarded good and virtuous is now viciously attacked and maligned, while everything once regarded vile and debased is praised and celebrated. America has become a real mirror-universe to all that it once stood for and the greatness it once represented.
I am wondering too myself.
