so it stops at turkey

the geography of the region dictates that whoever owns Belarus has the tactical advantage

so as long as Russia does, everyone else in the region will feel threatened

Turkey will not join, lol

no one wants that

not even Turkey

And, conversely, if Russia does not own Belarus, Moscow is exposed AF

so they will not let go of it

unless they go into total crisis mode

like civil war shit

Shut up idiot

Russia had the option to join the EU sphere in the early 90s

They chose China

and didn't, because they wanna be an Empire

not part of some other Empire

Russia is terrified of China

China is WAY too strong for them to be anything but a junior partner/bitch

Russia is actually a good ally for the US

but the US is unwilling to give it the freedom they demand in exchange for the alliance

This is why every nu Mutt president tries to negociate a nu deal with Russia

and it always fails

because there are some things the 2 cannot agree about

Trump might be different, he might see that subjugation works for neither, something about mutual respect

no

subjugation is the name of the game in international pol

it's just how this shit works

it has nothing to do with friendship or some shit

it's all about power

I don't see that in the dynamic between him and Putin, or Kim and Trump

@Bastard shut up gay reatard I am wood

Russia doesn't want to suck US cock, the US wants it's cock sucked

that is what is happening

Trump won't find an ally in Russia unless he agrees to trade with them on RUSSIAN terms

which he won;t do

because he is the hegemon

Maybe the neocons. But I don't see it with him, he seems respectful, how else did he get invited into North Korea? A trap, a ploy?

and showing such weakness is cringe and gay

Perhaps stalemate and distant business then

that is a problem for the US though

Russia should stay contained

It's better for them
