> Most Russians just subconsciously detect the safest position and orient themselves accordingly. Not because of conscious fear, simply by default.

Most Americans do exactly the same. Look at the reaction to 9/11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The vast majority of Americans couldn't identify either of those countries on a map let alone understand their history and culture yet it was "safe" to go along with it lest you be called unpatriotic.
