Eastern Europe has dying demographics as a whole — start up some civil wars and get it ripe for Atlanticists to waltz in

Provides resources to compete with China [/quote]

LMAO sure, pretend this is all the machinations of "Atlanticists" and stick your head in the sand and tell yourself that it [i]couldn't POSSIBLY[/i] have anything to do with the decades of Putin's dictatorial rule, corruption and stagnation that has left many Russians frustrated, angry and disillusioned.[/quote]

Umm you don’t know anything about historical anglo posture towards Russia going back for centuries do you?

Read up on “the great game”

Us-uk cannot allow for Russia to be a regional hegemon [/quote]

Heh.  Given that Stalin collaborated with Hitler on the invasion of Poland, as well as the holodomor as inspiration for Hitler's holocaust, I'm not sure which "great game" you refer?

This was not a good day for Russia and the stress is showing.  Even Simonyan played with fire today by admitting Russian industry has ammunition shortages and lied about it.  The maximum penalty for criticizing the military forces has also been increased from five years to seven years.  Even after getting interrupted by Solovyov - she has this soliloquy:

"We have to acknowledge that on the other side, there are dozens of countries that are supplying ammunition to one poor Zelensky.  We should remember that we're standing alone.  Every time we're outranged, publicly or privately and we want to get indignant - how can it be? Can't we get it fixed?  - we should remember whom we're fighting and why."

Jesus do they not teach history anymore?

The great game was the competition between the British and Russians that dates back to the 19th century - 100 years before ww2

The British correctly assessed that a Russian hegemon cannot exist in Eurasia - it is a national security threat.

Any anglo power (Britain in the 19th. Century, us in the 20/21st century) must degrade Russian power In Eurasia any chance it gets because if it doesn’t, it risks being subsumed.

That was the 'stans and they're all independent countries now.  Russia was trying to colonize them and Britain was trying to expand India.  The same scenario had been going on with the Mughals.

It's also the same thing Russia was doing with Turkey and Iran in the Caucuses for hundreds of years.  Or China in Outer Mongolia.

The simple fact is that Russia is perhaps the last colonial imperialist empire still standing.  They're not playing any great game.  They're just trying to colonize Ukraine.[/quote]
