why didnt they go to the russians for that

they have a long standing history of working with them

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

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

.

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

russia is locked in place

with its largest competitor on its border

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

lol

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

They just want to decrease their dependency on EU with Asia

i didnt say hegemony

thats blatantly obvious

i say even regionally aligned blocs or allies

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

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

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

these places cant fill the void of the west

they dont have the capital

they can only offset minorly

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

@Holo Spice but let me ask you about more interesting topic, with Biden will US go back to Syria?

probably yeah

ideally well get a bunch of rhetoric about how trump ruined the middle east by pulling out yada yada

and then the troops will go back

Trump hasnt lost yet

Seems like no peace for you @РАУЛЬ☭🇸🇾

@MeteNojo hes done obv

nope!

MAGA

March on Washington 2021

go back where lol

He will make the Trump News Network TNN

h8 trump

fuck him

trump already abandoned the kurds and the kurds are split on bending the knee to assad or try to fight for whatever minor influence they still retain

they have no major hold in syria anymore

Is there energy left for new Arab spring

@Erlik ᚯ Biden's secretary of state pick Tony Blinken was behind Obama's syria policy
