Russia is a country without meaningful allies (oh, I’m sorry, I forgot north Korea), in a world that hates them and wants to see them suffer for their past actions.

It’s like you’ve never even heard of BRICS+, which is having its annual conference in Russia right now.

You have no idea what is going on in the world. Russia has rather a lot of allies in fact, it’s just that none of them are imperial core countries.

You may not have noticed that most of the world is ignoring the international rules-based order’s sanctions. And not only almost all of the Global South, which represents ~85% of the world’s people and the bulk of the world’s production* and natural resources. Even many Global North countries are skirting their own sanctions to trade with Russia.

The Global North is largely sanctioning itself, and Europe is paying a very high price for it. In particular high energy prices, which is eroding their industrial base even more.

You’re running on pure, undiluted Western propaganda.

*Since the Global North in its infinite wisdom de-industrialized itself.

This is hilarious. That anyone would stand up for Russia, one of the most hated states on the planet.

What no material grounding does to a person. There is a reason Russia is increasingly popular in the Sahel. Do you think it might also have something to do with Europe and material interest?

Though maybe I shouldn't elaborate. It is probably good for the rest of the world if chauvinist Europeans falsely believe they represent it.

China especially, they would watch and wait till Russia was about to fail, and take their eastern territories, giving them both the land and resources they are so desperate for.

What, the trees and steppes? China's material interests in Russia are in fossil fuels and their derivatives, industrial capacity for key industries (though China is overtaking), and as a market to sell things to.

Russia is a country without meaningful allies (oh, I'm sorry, I forgot north Korea), in a world that hates them and wants to see them suffer for their past actions.

Just repeating "European chauvinists represent the world" over and over again Lmao. At the moment European states are certainly acting against Russia, making yourself into weakened American dependencies and shooting the prospect of an independent Eurooe in the head to do it. But that is more manufactured consent than any real popular push. This is why Europe is taking a rightward turn against the liberal order that seeks to isolate Russia: y'all are paying a hefty price to do the US' bidding.

Poland alone would do anything for the chance to revisit Russia with a fraction of the pain they've caused over the centuries, and nobody would dare stop them.

This is, more or less, historical illiteracy.

This is inevitable, the Russian decline guarantees their predation and destruction at the hands of their growing neighbors.

Growing neighbors like what? Belarus? Azerbaijan? Kazakhstan? If you mean China you can just say China.

Though again you have the material developments flipped. Europe is selling itself to Americans, not getting one over on Russia. Europe still buys Russian fossil fuels they just do so at a significant mark-up via middle men.

Like I said, popcorn futures.

Like I said, ethnic supremacist. And with that said, I won't be giving you more attention.
