that isnt an issue preventing them from being a great power lol
it just causes some unrest/innefficiency
china will always be more influential in the far east
and have much more power concentrated their
Ya but it is a problem that could fuck them over. Of course they can't be great power due to current geopolitical blocks but Russian strategy is about maintaining its regional power until in some time period opportunities occur that would allow their expansion
Far east has been not some unrest but actual political problem for Kremlin, you probably haven't heard of protests going on there
this is so silly
idc about scenarios where "they sit and wait until the time is right, a time we cant predict"
they will not, for the foreseeable future, ever regain their international footing
they will always be wary of china, regarldess of infrastrcuture
and rn
the usa stands to gain more withthem as a counter balance to the EU and china than an enemy
which is why i supported them in belarus
Its obv not just sit and wait lol, its simple, use diverse Asian market to replace dependency on EU market to be more independent in their relations to EU block
but all of this is done to ensure integrety of their state for any opportunity to expand. This strategy is far more dangerious than agressive and open expansion of China that can be countered
@Holo Spice I suppose what I should ask you, do you believe US could crush China geopolitically or could only push them back on certain level
no, rn we should undergo a policy of containment
its not possible to totally disentrench them
but they do us a lot of favors
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
On academic level Russians aren't big fans of China, Dugin said its needed for Russia to contain them in the north
dude sotp being delusional
russia has nothing to offer these places
they cannot form regional blocs lol
plus china themselves already undermines russia eurasian union initiative
belt and road ruins half of russias goals right off the bat
not to mention the fact it goes right through their core influence areas
Geopolitikal converstation
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
Pro Eurasian vs Anti Eurasian
you dont build regional blocs on gas
i am sick of hearing of russian gas
You should buy some
you need capital
which russians do not have anywhere near enough of for themselves even
even iran floats towards china more
remember that massive bailout they signed with the chinese?
why didnt they go to the russians for that
they have a long standing history of working with them
