Russia is on a suicide path
No.
Yes, it is.
RU is burning its demographic future for marginal territorial gains. It is spending lives and capital faster than it can regenerate them.
Its economy becomes more and more war-dependent, which means peace itself becomes destabilizing.
The brain drain Putins war causes is not a temporary inconvenience, but a strategic wound. They really traded long-term modernization for short-term militarization.
It has pushed Europe into rearmament and made the continent stronger, not weaker. And it is losing access to Western technology faster than it can replace it.
It is becoming China’s junior partner, not an independent great power.
Every year of war raises the cost of any political exit.
They may very well survive the war, but the path they chose consumed the foundations of their own power.
No, it isn't. And putting your wishful thinking as justifications is not how reality works.
Maybe stop guzzling propaganda there and try engaging with reality. It's absolutely incredible how after 4 years people are still not able to realize they're being lied to.
I find it so funny how a couch political actor thinks he understands politics better than a man who took a broken russia and made it capable of fighting all of nato alone
love how military aid by the west means "all of NATO" but military aid by Iran and North Korea means "alone".
"ICH HABE GANZ ALLEIN EUROPA EROBERT, WÄHREND MIR DIE GENERALITÄT NUR IN DEN RÜCKEN GEFALLEN IST"
Your strawman somehow talks in german, making it even strawier
Are you talking about me?
"Fighting all of NATO" - as a German, I did not know that I was at war with Russia right now. Am I?
I get your anger towards the US. And probably towards the EU. Towards NATO as a whole. Our history is stained with imperialism, and we should all be working against that. Dont falsely assume that I am on the side of the empire.
But this does not necessarily make Russia (or China) some sort of safe haven. Some days ago, I had to argue with US nazis that the US and Russia are the only working democracies left in this world, and Europe is a "autocratic dictatoraship" - which is obviously BS. Our system is FAR from perfect, and we experience propaganda - as does nearly every other state. But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic. So are you telling me that you are against evil NATO empire, therefore you are rooting for the evil Russian empire?
Ah, you're not on the side of the usa empire. You see that it's falling and instead make the new euro empire! With the same colonialist values, but without military power! What could go wrong?!
Imagine living in a shithole like Germany and thinking that China has a broken system. 🤣
But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic.
Please define imperialism, explain how your definition has any analytical value, and how it applies to Russia, China, and the US but not the European bloc.
God people doesn't hate Europeans enough.
But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic.
And the glorious Europeans countries are not imperialistic?????????????????????????????????
