It isn't really materialist to think that "we" as individuals living in the imperial core will benefit from the global periphery setting its own priorities. They might just be serious about socialism in one country not being compatible with an axis of resistance. (A cold war era mistake that helped them but doomed the planet)

...do you accept Twitter posts? Not sure what the citation rules here are and if they follow the same rules as not being encouraged to admit that hamas guy died until hamas fid a press release. Should I wait until Cuba officially criticizes Beijing?

To be fair though, apparently the sugar harvest in Cuba the last few years has been mega fucked for some reason. That could also be a factor.

I could find Marxist leninist maoist critiques but that would be sectarian.

I mean it is on multiple websites, I just didn't want to quote the fucking financial times and couldn't find the Twitter post I first learned about this from.

It's just a name, you know what I mean. Basically there is no reason for Gaugazia and Transnistria to not form a confederation and annex a bit of Ukrainian territory if Russia achieves a bigger victory.

To be fair the next step after internal consumption is building markets in central Asia to find a sweet spot for a bunch of things, and to do that they need to let Russia lose its grip on places like Kazakhstan.

Why not reform Bessarabia?

Seriously though, what about Gaugazia? It made a deal to stay in Moldova that Moldova is currently breaking, expect them to be treated like Serbs in Kosovo if Moldova ever joins the EU/Romania. (Joining Romania instantly gets them into NATO I think)

What about Gaugazia? Siding with the EU will lead to martial law in areas they already control, not to mention conquering Transnistria.
