Russia vs West

This is a new conflict which has emerged.
What happened earlier there was West and NATO and other side there was Soviet Union.
Ultimately it was West which won which happened with the fall of Berlin Wall and unity of Germany. West Germany just swallowed East Germany and East Germany ceased to exist.
Russia fell into bits, or rather old Soviet Union fell into bits and fifteen different countries emerged.
Initially Russia was on its knees and unable to do anything meaningful in this world.
West carried on its 'crusade of world domination' relentlessly. Countries after countries were invaded and occupied. Starting with Algeria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya among many other countries. Let us also not forget Serbia and Kosovo which were Russian allies.
But in 2013 August Russia took a stand against Syrian invasion. No longer it would tolerate Western hegemony and domination which involved killing millions of people in the name of 'liberation, freedom and democracy'. Then when things began to spin out of control in Ukraine, Russia took over Crimea.
Crimea is that region of the world where a Western alliance had fought severe war in the 1800's.
This shows Western countries are nothing but a bunch of goons or rowdies who come together to teach a lesson to one they don't like.
And let us not speak of Turkey, Turkey is also like a Western poodle dog and so is Pakistan. Both are in the laps of the West and NATO ever since the beginning of modern history. We can say Modern history began after 1945 i.e. end of Second World War.
My opinion- I am totally against Western hegemony. We are trained in school in English medium and hence English comes naturally to most of us in India. India was a colonial poodle of Britain or England and hence English is the major language here.
But given an alternate choice I will want to forget all the English and maybe learn a language like Russian or Chinese or Arabic or Persian and chart a new course for myself. What I mean to say that just because English is the only 'international' language we can converse in let us not think that we are same as the British or American. We are different or at least I can say that for myself.
Due to circumstances happened in past over which I had not control due to being a child I am fluent in English but I hate what present day West led by US and UK and France are upto.
