Unfortunately, that has become the norm in this discussion thread.
I was really hoping to see a long-term, level-headed conversation with people from both sides of the fence making contributions. Instead, the majority of it is low-quality memes and trolling. When someone does post something conclusive, most of the time it is rather conveniently ignored by their opposition.
Unless we see Wejo and Rojo make this discussion limited to registered accounts, most of what we find here is simply a waste of time.

Any truth to the rumour that there’s been a big up tick in Americans signing up to language schools specifically to learn Russian?

Russia is a puppet/ ally of the true threat to the US—China. Why do you think China allowed / urged North Korea to send troops to Ukraine? Do you recognize that China supports Russia in its invasion and potential subjugation of Ukraine? Do you think China is a legitimate threat to the US and its interests? Do you support Trumps China policy and do you think his stated policy supports or opposes China’s interests?

No, I do not believe China is much of a threat to the US, nor the Russians. I am not an American who lives in fear. What are they going to do? Short of nuclear War, which is not an advantage, they have no cards to play. They rely financially on the mechanisms of Capitalism to grow financially, else they will go back to where they came from, and so will we. I’ll take America. Jefferson wrote the book, not Lenin or Mao. His name was Thomas Jefferson and he and his boys changed the World forever.

So the you don’t support Trumps China policy—which does treat China as a treat—am I understanding you correctly?

The Cult of Trump is so proud:
"The former US ambassador to Panama has launched a stinging critique of Donald Trump’s approach towards Latin America, comparing his conduct to that of the ruthless and egotistical fictional mob boss Tony Soprano."

I support Trump. He’s negotiating. America, at this hour, is blessed to have him. He wrote the book.
You are asking about China being a threat, but in what capacity? Can they screw things up for the World and send everyone back 150 years, sure, but why would they? They’ve got it pretty damn good. Trump will not hurt them too bad.

What "book" is this? Do you realize how dangerous it is to have blind faith in Trump?
Take a look at this specific message board page. You have something like 20 "down votes" and zero "up votes," which is fairly standard for your posts.
You want to go a bit higher up the food chain? Please ask yourself this: why is it that absolutely none of the living Republican Presidents and Vice Presidents endorsed Trump prior to the election last year? George W. Bush, Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, and even Mike Pence didn't support him! That speaks volumes.

The blind faith is in America. Trump earned his shot to right the ship his way, as did those who came before him and here we are.
Why would he be afraid of the Chinese? They only make cheap widgets because America is asking for them.

What a difference a year makes.
The section of the besieged southern border where hundreds of migrants rushed a barbed wire fence on March 21 and assaulted Border Patrol agents in a violent melee is now a ghost town — as crossings plummet under President TrumpWith the Trump admin ending the problematic catch-and-release policy at the border, along with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott erecting more razor wire and deploying additional cops to the area, no one dares to cross there like they used to.
The uneducated, low-intelligence libs on this thread harped about how Trump “killed” Biden’s pork-filled “border” bill. Why spend all that money and add all that pork when Trump closed it in a matter of a few weeks without it. That’s how you govern effectively.
Yeah, but everything Trump does is executive orders. Which means it can be undone by the courts, or the next guy/gal who holds the office.
If you really want a secure border, you'd be better off passing an actual law that enshrines whatever he's doing as federal law. That way, less risk a future person can undo it or some activist judge can overturn it.
Trump could have tried to get a bill passed and signed into law during his first term, but he took the easy way out and then Biden overturned everything.
Passing laws is hard work, much easier to sign a big piece of paper with a sharpie.

I don't think the KGB could've ever dreamed their plan would turn out to be this potent.
They probably have trouble believing it's true, and not just some elaborate counter-hoax.
From their point of view it could hardly be more perfect.
...................
And I fear what the American people might condone after a few years of self-sabotaging politics, non-stop propaganda, and an unprecedented decline in the standard of living. There'll probably be little to no opposition for unsanctioned hostility against other sovereign nations, and I'm not talking about tariffs. There will be boots on the ground. The question is, north or south?

Agreed on paragraph 1.
Half agreed on paragraph 2.
Yes, the American people (or a significant subset of the American people) will condone horrible/unthinkable things out of fear/hatred. But what they condone will not be against external enemies. Those boots on the ground will not be turned against other sovereign nations. That is not the plan.
