    Russia’s potential economy is much bigger though:

    • 130M of obedient slaves
    • largest land mass in the world
    • access to the melting arctic
    • loads of natural resources

      Just open, Nazi tier racism. But the shitlibs here will upvote it anyway because they’re just as racist as the worst MAGA chud, so long as it’s against the right target

      Obedient slaves.

      Yeah man, those simple slavs, their brainpan just isn’t shaped for Democracy™.

      Libs and chauvinism go hand in hand

        Are they not? I’m a russian language speaker in Thailand right now and everyone who’s not an obedient fool has escaped long time ago or became an obedient slave.

        1.5m people either dead or disabled by the war, economy on the brink of collapse, completely outcast from the cosmopolitan world - is that not obedient slavery?

          You vastly underestimate how poor a bunch of Russians are, the poor class often stays behind when a crisis hits. While the middle and upper classes use their wealth and connections to jump the boat.

          Most refugees were relative to their country, not poor.

            Stays behind when crisis hit? The crisis is of their own doing. Russia is a rotten country and a rotten culture that has no one else to blame.

            I generally don’t like destructive change like revolution but Russians will never recover, never. The culture is so far gone and so broken and so passive that the best thing that could happen to an average russian is complete dissolution of the entire Russian project into independent smaller states.

              What a simplistic and reductive worldview. You would do well as an orientalist professor at Oxford in the 1800’s. You should look into phrenology.

              All you’re saying here could be said about most nations, as I exemplified with Britain.

          Yeah man, its like when I hear the poors complain about stress. Why don't they simply take a vacation?

          “Since I speak english this means I have a unique insight into the mind of the anglo-saxon, and let me tell you, if they haven’t uprooted themselves from Albion, then that means they’re mindless dolts, unlike me: A person who simply moved to Thailand. Whats stopping them? Why do they not simply overthrow their heinous monarch? It must be because the simple bog-dwellers cannot comprehend morality” <- You, in an alternate universe.

          completely out cast from the Cosmopolitan world.

          Lmao what a delusional eurocentric take. “The Cosmopolitan world” somehow consists of the US and parts of Europe. Alright bud. Whatever shall the Russians do, now that they can only trade with most of the world? Im sure they’re crying over the lack of paperwork, while they have to settle for trading with China, India, well- really all of Asia.
