    Your concerns are valid and understandable and I agree with you in some respects. I’m not accusing the Russian government of being flawless, all-knowing, purposeful or 100 percent altruistic or beneficial. And you are correct in that for a long time now, Russia, and many members of the Russian bourgeoisie, have merely wanted a seat at the table than to overthrow the whole system, and that is still a concern and a challenge.

    I wager that it is way too long ago, that ship of Russia sitting at the imperialist table has sailed years ago, and Russians in general and politicians are and should be waking up to that fact, and I think Putin will eventually as well.

    It is in Russia’s best interest to go full ham now. No matter what Russia says or does, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that Russia can or will turn back it’s route to ingratiate itself with the imperialist west.

    Possibly inadvertently, Russia has majorly helped lay down the foundations for the coming multipolar, anti-imperialist and socialist world, what with it’s decades of connections and alliances, and it’s most recent decade-ish of building alternative pathways in regards to trade, diplomacy, governance, and economic development. Russia has no reason and nothing to gain to suddenly turn back now. Even thinking from a sociopath’s or an extremely greedy person’s perspective, it’s in Russia’s best interest to forge onward.

    Sometimes, the best path to personal gain is a degree of practical cooperation, altruism and win-win cooperation. There is a bit of greed in altruism, which isn’t inherently a bad thing.
