previous reply was formatted like shit, sry

i do infact have relatives in belarus, albeit its irrelevant, since anecdotal evidence doesnt matter. if you look at the economic policy of the belarusian government you will see that it is exclusively orientated towards domestic economic development, something a client state would never have. your relatives seem sadly to be liberasts who have been manipulated by polish and american propaganda, regimes that actually want to subjugate belarus.

the second part of your reply is, and im sorry to say that this harshly, pure unadulterated bullshit. not only is the supposed quote from putin unsourced and most likely fabricated, you also have obviously no idea of what imperialism is, in which case you should read theory (lenin, mao, fanon, sankara, etc..). imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, one that russia has not yet reached, and the russian national bourgeoisie has currently limited aligned interests with the world proletariat, due to being opposed to the primary contradiction that is western imperialism.

i hope this whole text wasnt in vein and you were actually arguing in good faith and not just another western troll doing
