Putin is the grand chess master.

Far from it

Look at it from their perspective as well: What does Russia have to gain from being imperialistic again, with the way their economy is right now?

Nah, you just kill off all the people who run against you

What?

What the fuck did I just read?

Imperialism on the world stage of 2018 is a net loss

Its too costly

Lolwat

he has a point

but it doesn't have to be imperialism, what about cyber war

You have NATO in the West, China in the East, Islamic countries in the South

China wouldn’t attack us, Islam doesn’t have nukes

Russia is trying to diversify their economy right now away from oil

@Puma RUSSIA

Those are the borders of RUSSIA

Islam has nukes

pakistan

iran (almost)

Pakistan knows not to use them, can’t say the same about Iran

pakistan is fucking swiss cheese, they can get jacked by extremists

My point is, that Russia can't be imperialistic, because there's nowhere to expand to

*stares are crimea*

but i don't think the game is all about expansion these days

“Literally nowhere”

unless you are Japan or China

Which brings me back to: Why fear Russia?

because they can turn us into glass in 30 minutes or less if they want to

server fail again?

bing

India could as well. Pakistan too

Lol

Russias armorment is in disarray

They're big in land area, and rhetoric. That's about it.

honestly Clinton was right, Kashmir is one of the most dangerous geopolitical hotspots

And arms

Yes

And nukes

Not really

they still run a lot of ww2 era things
