What
@Squigglylines said is a good analysis and not knowing the nature of Russian mentalities is also something that requires a lot of interaction with them. We (in Albania) had a lot of interactions with them, during the cold war mind you, where both sides were communists and we broke relations with them, because we did not trust them.
However, the woke mentality that has transformed your country into a nation where an illegal immigrant with a knife in your house has more rights that you as an owner (this is what a German guy in Berlin told me) is also the second part of your problem.
So, strive for balance, be grateful to bigger nations protecting you and put God first. Not saying, you are not doing those things, but that's where one arrives when it sees all this vanity and dejavus of history.
