Russia and China, democracy and capitalism (Putin, nationalist, revolution, ideology)

[Frenchman]

Russia and China are somehow more democratic and capitalist than the US and UK, with less business regulation ("wild capitalism"), and leaders advocating sovereignty & national interest ("nationalism").

70% of Russians support Vladimir Putin. 70% of Americans want George W. Bush out.

FOXNews.com - A Spy's Motivation: Ideology, Not Money Motivates Americans to Spy Against the U.S. - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News

Americans who spy against the U.S. are increasingly motivated by ideology rather than by money, with nearly half of the known spies since the end of the Cold War showing allegiance to another country or cause, according to a government report.

Before 1990, 77 spies in the database were solely or primarily motivated by money, compared to 22 who were motivated by ideology.

Do you feel closer to "internationalists" like American and British governments, or "nationalists" like Russian and Chinese governments?

Ineresting article but I find the definition of nationalist or internationalist to broad and overlapping. In general I'd say with our current foriegn policy and entry into world markets we are heading in a direction that appears "internationalist"

Russia not nationalist! Simply our government understands I (hope) if it will build factories in other countries, to not protect interests of people and to not improve their life, people or will die or will arrange new revolution! Do not forget, Russia the multinational country!
