if so I suppose you could face them but I would warn you that if Asia is disunited and divided it only goes in Russian policy of building regional block partnerships as alternative to EU block

2021-01-09 21:44:25 UTC  

On academic level Russians aren't big fans of China, Dugin said its needed for Russia to contain them in the north

2021-01-09 21:44:36 UTC  

dude sotp being delusional

2021-01-09 21:44:40 UTC  

russia has nothing to offer these places

2021-01-09 21:44:45 UTC  

they cannot form regional blocs lol

2021-01-09 21:45:02 UTC  

plus china themselves already undermines russia eurasian union initiative

2021-01-09 21:45:16 UTC  

belt and road ruins half of russias goals right off the bat

2021-01-09 21:45:29 UTC  

not to mention the fact it goes right through their core influence areas

2021-01-09 21:46:51 UTC  

Geopolitikal converstation

2021-01-09 21:47:10 UTC  

Nothing? Lmao
As soon as Russians started diverting their gas market to Asia its expected to increase up to 20% from previus 3%
There are clearly a lot of Asian countries that are interested in Russian natural resources and many of them are being forced to group togheter themselves with Russia, like Iran

2021-01-09 21:47:18 UTC  

Pro Eurasian vs Anti Eurasian

2021-01-09 21:47:24 UTC  

you dont build regional blocs on gas

2021-01-09 21:47:30 UTC  

i am sick of hearing of russian gas

2021-01-09 21:47:37 UTC  

You should buy some

2021-01-09 21:47:39 UTC  

you need capital

2021-01-09 21:47:49 UTC  

which russians do not have anywhere near enough of for themselves even

2021-01-09 21:48:12 UTC  

even iran floats towards china more

2021-01-09 21:48:21 UTC  

remember that massive bailout they signed with the chinese?

2021-01-09 21:48:26 UTC  

why didnt they go to the russians for that

2021-01-09 21:48:34 UTC  

they have a long standing history of working with them

2021-01-09 21:48:40 UTC  

Russia needs and understands they need large market that could not form coherent geopolitical block against them in case of some international conflict. Thats Asia for them

2021-01-09 21:48:44 UTC  

they didnt go to them because the russians couldnt begin to afford it

2021-01-09 21:49:31 UTC  

.

2021-01-09 21:49:45 UTC  

idk why you hyper focus on asia for russia, all we see is them shifting their commercial focus to an extent, we dont see them geopolitical able to influence any of these regions

2021-01-09 21:49:50 UTC  

russia is locked in place

2021-01-09 21:49:59 UTC  

with its largest competitor on its border

2021-01-09 21:50:19 UTC  

russia can do this russia can do that
russia should just work on itself

2021-01-09 21:50:23 UTC  

lol

2021-01-09 21:50:35 UTC  

I was going to say thats correct but obv Russians know they can't impose some geopolitical hegemony over Asia, they cant and do not wish for that

2021-01-09 21:50:45 UTC  

They just want to decrease their dependency on EU with Asia

2021-01-09 21:50:46 UTC  

i didnt say hegemony

2021-01-09 21:50:49 UTC  

thats blatantly obvious

2021-01-09 21:50:58 UTC  

i say even regionally aligned blocs or allies

2021-01-09 21:50:59 UTC  

so they could engage in middle east and east Europe without such harsh sanctions

2021-01-09 21:51:20 UTC  

decreasing dependency on eu =/= regaining influence lost from collapse

2021-01-09 21:51:29 UTC  

and even so they can only reduce their dependency so much lol

2021-01-09 21:51:43 UTC  

these places cant fill the void of the west

2021-01-09 21:51:47 UTC  

they dont have the capital

2021-01-09 21:51:56 UTC  

they can only offset minorly

2021-01-09 21:52:09 UTC  

which by numbers is going a lot, I will link you that article I read when I find it

2021-01-09 21:53:31 UTC
