    Russia is a country without meaningful allies (oh, I’m sorry, I forgot north Korea), in a world that hates them and wants to see them suffer for their past actions.

    It’s like you’ve never even heard of BRICS+, which is having its annual conference in Russia right now.

    You have no idea what is going on in the world. Russia has rather a lot of allies in fact, it’s just that none of them are imperial core countries.

    You may not have noticed that most of the world is ignoring the international rules-based order’s sanctions. And not only almost all of the Global South, which represents ~85% of the world’s people and the bulk of the world’s production* and natural resources. Even many Global North countries are skirting their own sanctions to trade with Russia.

    The Global North is largely sanctioning itself, and Europe is paying a very high price for it. In particular high energy prices, which is eroding their industrial base even more.

    You’re running on pure, undiluted Western propaganda.


    *Since the Global North in its infinite wisdom de-industrialized itself.
