Why are foreigners afraid to bully Russian tourists? American soldier told why the Russians are so afraid in the United States

An experienced American soldier during a banquet frankly told the author about the Russians and why they are so feared in the United States.
It so happened that I happened to participate in one project with real Pindos. Good guys, pro. For six months, while the project was going on, we managed to make friends. As expected, the successful completion of the project ends with a booze. And now our banquet is in full swing, I caught my tongue with the boy, with whom we had one topic together. Of course, we divided who is cooler, the first satellite, the lunar program, aircraft, weapons, etc.

And I asked my expected question:
- Tell me, American, why are you so afraid of us, you live in Russia for six months, you saw everything yourself, there are no bears on the street and no one drives tanks?
- O! This I will explain! The instructor sergeant explained this to us, when I served in the US National Guard, this instructor went through many hot spots, he ended up in the hospital twice and twice because of the Russians. He kept telling us that Russia is the only and most terrible enemy.
The first time was in 1991, in Afghanistan it was the first business trip, young, not yet shelled, he helped civilians when the Russians decided to destroy the mountain village.
- Wait! I interrupted. We were ALREADY not in the 87th in Afghanistan.
- We, too, were not yet in the 91st in Afghanistan, but I see no reason not to believe him. Listen!

And I listened, in front of me was no longer a peaceful young engineer, but an American veteran.

“I provided security, the Russians were no longer in Afghanistan, the locals began to fight each other, our task was to organize the relocation of a friendly partisan detachment to the area controlled by us, everything went according to plan, but two Russian helicopters appeared in the sky, why and why didn’t I I know. Having made a U-turn, they reorganized and began to enter our positions. A salvo of stingers, the Russians went over the ridge. I managed to take a position behind a heavy machine gun, waited, Russian vehicles were supposed to appear from behind the ridge, a good burst on board would do them good. And the Russian helicopter did not keep us waiting, it appeared, but not from behind the ridge, but from below from the gorge and hovered 30 meters from me. I desperately pressed the trigger and saw how the bullets bounced off the glass, striking sparks.

I saw the Russian pilot smiling.

I woke up at the base. Light concussion. I was later told that the pilot took pity on me, the Russians considered it a sign of skill to deal with the locals and leave the European alive, why I don’t know, and I don’t believe it. Leaving behind enemy lines capable of surprise is stupid, and the Russians are not stupid.
Then there were many different business trips, the next time I ran into the Russians in Kosovo,

It was a crowd of untrained noobs, with machine guns from the Vietnam War, armor, probably from the Second World War, heavy, uncomfortable, no navigators, night vision devices, nothing more, just a machine gun, helmet and armor. They drove their armored personnel carriers wherever they wanted and wherever they wanted, passionately kissed the civilian population, baked bread for them (they brought a bakery with them and baked bread!). They fed everyone with their porridge with canned meat, which they themselves cooked in a special cauldron. We were treated with disdain, constantly insulted. It wasn't an army, but who knows what. How can you interact with them? All our reports to the Russian leadership were ignored. Somehow we got into a serious fight, we didn’t share the route, if it weren’t for the Russian officer who calmed these monkeys, we could have reached the trunks. These bastards should be punished. Give cunts and put in place! Without weapons, we only lacked Russian corpses, but what would they understand. They wrote a note, in Russian, but with errors, like a Serb wrote that nice guys were going at night to give cunts to insolent Russian bastards. We prepared carefully, light bulletproof vests, police batons, night vision devices, shockers, no knives or firearms. We approached them, observing all the rules of disguise and sabotage art. These idiots didn't even put up posts, which means we'll fuck the sleeping ones, we deserve it! When we almost approached the tents, there was a fucking, RY-YAYAYA-AAA! And from all the cracks crawled these bastards, for some reason dressed only in striped shirts. I accepted the first one.

I woke up at the base. Light concussion. Later they told me that the guy took pity on me, hit me flat, if he had hit me for real, he would have blown my head off. Fuck me! An experienced fighter of an elite unit of the US Marine Corps is knocked out in 10 seconds by a Russian, skinny bastard, and what ??? And you know what? A gardening tool! Shovel! Yes, it would never have occurred to me to fight with a sapper shovel, but they are taught this, but unofficially, the Russians considered it a sign of skill to know the techniques of fighting with a sapper shovel. I then realized that they were waiting for us, but why did they come out in shirts, only in shirts, because it is natural for a person to protect himself, put on armor, a helmet. Why only shirts? And their fucking RYA-YAYAYA-AAA!

Once I was waiting for a flight at the Detroit airport, there was a Russian family, mom, dad, daughter, were also waiting for their plane. The father somewhere bought and brought the girl, three years old, a hefty ice cream. She jumped with delight, clapped her hands and you know what she screamed? Their fucking RY-YAYAYA-AAA! Three years, speaks badly, and already screams RYA-YAYAYA-AAA!

But those guys, with this cry, went to die for their country. They knew that it would be just hand-to-hand, without weapons, but they went to die. But they didn't go to kill!
It's easy to kill while sitting in an armored helicopter or holding a blade sharpened like a razor in your hands. They didn't pity me. Killing for the sake of killing is not for them. But they are ready to die if necessary.

And then I realized that Russia is the only and most terrible enemy.”

That's how a soldier of an elite US unit told us about you. Would you like another glass? Russian! And I'm not afraid of you!

Americans are a controversial nation. In one country, tolerance for minorities, tolerance, free market, individualization and the highest costs for the military and constant involvement in mass conflicts coexist. last field

battle, according to the Internet community, was Ukraine. After the Maidan, everyone started talking about another confrontation between Americans and Russians. They remembered both the Iron Curtain and past feuds. Many people wonder what will happen next. And why are Americans afraid of Russians? And are they afraid at all?

America's Education

Before answering these questions, you need to plunge into the history of the United States of America and understand why the overseas country is perceived as the main aggressor. It is enough to remember how their story began. Burning the lands of the Indians and the extermination of entire tribes and civilizations - albeit standard, but not the most best start for a liberal nation from the current point of view. It is worth noting that the Iroquois were a very educated and progressive people, and who knows how history would turn if their civilization survived. And most importantly, what would Europe be like if it did not conquer and expand its expansion into North and South America.

USA in the 19th century

AT early XIX century, the main enemy of Americans has become Europe with its conservative Catholic values. Americans despised everything European, valued their own "self" and individualism, and considered themselves a nation chosen by God.

At the same time, the slave trade flourished. And if the black population was not the enemy of the Americans, then the people of rights and freedoms despised, in their opinion, the lower, worthless "subhumans." The chauvinist attitude towards blacks in the United States continued at the beginning of the 20th century, when pockets of lynching of the black population were recorded.

America vs Japan

During the Second World War, apart from Nazi Germany The Americans were at war with Japan. The enmity between the two nations ended in sad events: Pearl Harbor, in which almost the entire US fleet was flooded and many soldiers were killed, as well as the dropping of a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where many people died, some of whom died from radioactive exposure after .

Subsequently, the Americans, as befits the winners, imposed severe sanctions on the Japanese empire, which had a negative impact on its economy.

Iron Curtain and the battle of the two superpowers

After the Second World War, the main enemy of the United States became Soviet Union. In addition to the military arms race, both countries developed espionage, as well as space programs. It seems that after the Iron Curtain, mutual propaganda against each other and uniting in opposing coalitions, not counting the Balkan crisis, the question of why Americans are afraid of the Russians will disappear by itself. Although it is worth noting that the rivalry of the two superpowers throughout the 20th century gave the world such great achievements as manned space flight, landing on the moon, developments in the field of nuclear physics, chemistry and biology. In addition, political and economic institutions developed, which later became ingrained in the ideology of both countries. The development of institutions and knowledge-intensive areas, as well as industrial production, gave people jobs, provided them with shelter, and generally improved the life of a citizen. Unfortunately for us, the USSR lost in this struggle.

To understand the reason for the defeat, it is necessary to plunge into sociology and political science. After reading the works of a well-known sociologist and futurist, namely "The Great Divide" and "Trust", one can immediately determine that the hierarchical political and administrative system of the USSR, based on bloated factories with a low level of trust in employees, was doomed to failure. Whereas mobile and peer-to-peer networks based on trust and increasing the responsibility of the common worker allowed America to ride into the information age on horseback. A striking example of such mobile organizations in the United States are the Silicon Valley companies that are willing to take risks and are not afraid of the challenge of the times, namely Bill Gates' Apple and Microsoft.

Russia's nuclear power

We are getting closer to answering the question of why Americans are afraid of the Russians. To summarize all of the above in one sentence: America understands that throughout its history, in most cases, it has been an aggressor. And right now it has become clear to the whole world.

Now let's talk about the Americans are afraid of the Russians, since the largest country in the world by territory has the largest number of nuclear warheads capable of destroying the planet several times. Therefore, the United States against Russia does not act a priori. Americans are afraid. Russia cannot be subjected to air strikes or to bring troops into its territory. This means that the methods of struggle against it should be different. Although there is always the danger of being declassified and exposing yourself to blows. So, at least after the WikiLeaks case and Julian Assange, relations between the European Union and the United States worsened.

Great Russian soldiers

Are Americans afraid of Russian soldiers? They have, at least, plenty of reasons to worry. This is during the Second World War and intervention, valor and courage Soviet soldiers in the Great Patriotic War, which we always remember on the ninth of May, as well as the fearlessness of the Russian army in the battles in Chechnya. All this suggests that the Russian army is not only trained by long years of protracted wars, but also staunchly defends its homeland. Rich Russian history, conquests Russian Empire, the strength of the Soviet armed forces - this is the answer to the question of why the Americans are afraid of the Russian special forces of an already modern model.

Are Americans afraid of the Russian people?

On the one hand, I am glad that a lot of stereotypes are hovering around Russians. After all, oddly enough, it is their presence that speaks of the strength of the nation and the state. Can you remember the stereotype about Denmark? But on the other hand, according to Russia, it occupies a modest 77th place. But the ranking takes into account all important social components, such as health, education, etc. Will the Russians be able to unite when a new and old enemy in the face of the United States is attacked, or will they lay down their arms, as Poland once faced Nazi Germany or Prussia before Napoleon's army? But still, Russia is different now. She does not have the economic abilities that she had under the "Reds", and she does not have the faith that she had during the reign of Alexander the First and Alexander the Second. "Tsar. Autocracy. Nationality" - it was and is gone. Now our people are lost and worried about their current situation. There are not so many reasons to be proud of the country, and it will not work for a long time to ride on the fragments of the old system. So whether Americans are afraid of Russians in such a situation is a moot point.

If we touch on the military power of the country, then there is no question of why the Americans are afraid of Russian soldiers, but this certainly cannot be said about our people and our politics. the main problem lies in something else. by the most important issue for the near future is this: "Are Americans afraid of the Russians, both as a people, and as a state, and as an ideology?"

What are the reasons for the Americans' fear of us Russians? After all, such fear really exists, because it definitely exists - hence some recent political decisions. I am posting a very characteristic story of an American special forces soldier, revealing the deep sources of fear of the Russians. All this is in the retelling of our Russian commando.

An experienced American soldier during a banquet frankly told the author about the Russians and why they are so feared in the United States.

O! This I will explain! Sergeant Instructor explained this to us, when I served in the US National Guard, this instructor went through many hot spots, he ended up in the hospital twice and twice because of the Russians.
