Not that much anymore.This is why you have so many nations near the border of Russia heading towards NATO or increased NATO activity.
Which the Russian news states as "NATO encroaching on the Russian Border to surround it" when in fact nations are fleeing to NATO for defense purposes, which it always have been for.

Remember the civil war? Remeber the cultural divide, economic damage, and humanitarian cost that left behind? We had two conflicts that large in 30 years, and had been fighting more of them roughly every 50 years at best.
Congratulations America, if you effectively own a contient with no other significant Rivals, and areable to profiteer over two world wars, you can become a strong economy, well done.
