In global politics, winning is about getting what you can for your people - through bolstering your country's strengths if you can, but also by exploiting an opponent's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

You're right, revenge is for losers. However, it is you who conflate the art of exploitation with revenge. Even when engaging in the art of exploitation, there doesn't always have to be a loser. You can ask Kevin O'Leary about that.
You are the one more informed by zero-sum gamers. Don't project that **** onto me. I believe in and root for the multi-polar world that Russia is bringing about. If you are not a proponent of empire - of the "**** them before they **** you" foreign policy philosophy of both democ rats and republicans, then your proximity to that camp makes one wonder - makes you a first cousin once removed. In my career and in my personal life, I have always embraced a win/win/win policy. In my view, the only losers are the ones who fail to see that we can all win - it's how the planet is designed. God's natural law is ABUNDANCE. Shortages are artificial and of the devil. 

And MY point in response to YOUR point is that the west has been incompetent to exploit those vulnerabilities.
