In a rather ironic twist, as Europe slips into recession and Russia’s economy flourishes, we see articles attempting to assert that Russia will suffer from losing its ties with the West.
This demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding on behalf of Western nations towards the Global Majority and their ability to thrive without reliance on the West.
Likewise, the analogies drawn with the Cold War are utterly baseless, as the situation today is diametrically opposed - during the Cold War, the West was the dominant economic powerhouse, while now it is the BRICS that hold sway.
yeah but you get basically the same treatment if you bend the knee or not. at least, russia would. so yeah, seems super tempting to just go along with shit.
Oh yeah for sure, we can see the treatment Europe is getting right now with US selling overpriced LNG and plundering European industry.
