    True, but you can build a strong army and security apparatus that are able to resist Russian imperialism while also protecting fundamental rights at the same time. The two are not mutually exclusive - and the country is more than wealthy enough to achieve this, but only with fair taxation that rewards labor and primarily makes those contribute their fair share who have the most.

      But protecting fundamental rights, especially if they stand in the way of more exploitation in the name of corporate interests, is mutually exclusive with corrupt conservative politics.
