But tend to be magnified in dictatoships, one of the reasons why liberal countries tend to be stronger.

Oh certainly, but I would say they are dictatorships because those countries were already in crisis to some degree or other. It depends entirely on the personality of the dictator. Or, put differently, western countries are strong so they function according to "normal order", that is to say, repeatable, predictable systems.

This isn't always the case though. Compare Rwanda with Burundi. Both have very similar geographies and demographics. But Burundi is a corrupt Hutu democracy, and Rwanda is a Tutsi dictatorship. Rwanda is much better run than Burundi because Paul Kagame is more virtuous than whatever democratic leaders would be thrown up by the populace.

Monarchies can be good if the king is good. Oligarchies can be good if the ruling group is good. Republics can be good if the people are good. And so forth.

People who support a never-ending proxy war in the Ukraine are not liberal either.

What a bunch of fucking hypocrites you all are.

Ukrainians are fighting for their own freedom and democracy. Theyve been on a path westernizing since the end of the Soviet Union. That corruption you hear about? Most of it is literally tied to Russian backed politicians and Russian meddling in Ukrainian affairs.

So the question for you now is why do you not support their struggle for freedom? Is freedom in democracy not something that you value for yourself? It is that simple
 
Personalities might change and oligarchs too.
So I don't see any proof about benefits from oligarchs and dictators russia had during last 99 years....
Ofc if someone wants to worship Putin, it is his own problem.
If dictatorship and oligarchy is better despite country is turned into BIC lapdog client state....let it be.
 
I know that it is in general absolute waste of time to discuss with " russian world " addicts. They doesn't see reality in depth and most likely always will be happy and proud if chinesse vassal russia will grab next peace of some land. They also will not think about shameful reality russia during last 40 years had experienced.
Their destiny to be a vassal state for real empires....
 
No one cares what stuff russia had " threated " to do. All is well known and during 480 days they had told absolutely 0 new thing.
+ these " centers " and critical infrastructure russia is attempting to hit since autumn 2022 th.

Nothing new. Boring.
 
It is reeally annoying.
All these boring talks that cinesse vassal might use nukes.
Let's use and emperor Xi will order to annex Siberia. Russia can't resist physically and Emperor Xi too does have nukes, more than this, chinesse nukes more likely will work.

Is the guy who made this stupid tweet following this war or is he there to just write some rubbish? Ukr already has hit Crimea regularly for more than a year now. For more than six months Ukr regularly strike Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod inside RF and there's nothing weakling Putin can do about it other than let his lap dogs bark.
 
The medieval unwritten rules are that if vassal had attacked neighbour countries without Lord's order, the vassal can't expect Lord's direct help with direct military force usage. Russia de facto already partially is China's vassal state.
 
Casual russian talking. Nothing new 480 days in row.:D
Escalation.... russian escalation.
Chinesse most likely are laughing day and night about their dumb vassal state attempting to expand.

At least economically they long ago slowly had started to subjugate russia.
Imagine the same excavators and bulldozers?
1950- 2010 th russia had exported to China.
Since some 2010 th China is exporting more to russia than russia to china.
About nails, screws, forks, shovels, spoons and cables too is fun to talk about.
 
Russia also again did one big mistake.
Ofc these african leaders doesn't care about ukr at all and not likely ever will care.
Still to launch missiles on Kiev when these were in city was dumb step.
If russia was calm this day, more likely that they had 100% followed russian ideology main targets....

Stupidity doesn't have borders.

The fact that Ukraine is using Storm Shadow to hit at bridges kind of points that they are trying to repeat the Kherson strategy.

People say that "well they failed because they aren't moving at the speed of Izyum" but they forget to say that these are the same people that claimed that Ukraine will get bogged down in Kherson city.

My guess is that Ukraine, more than trying to physically cut Kherson region is instead trying to create a firing platform for HIMARS and then repeat the whole attrition game they did in Kherson city, which is why they are now going taking down these bridges.

Anyone saying they aren't moving fast enough is a fool or believes a lot of anti-russia propaganda.

Russia (top 3 world power) has had nearly a year and a half to push forward, and is stuck at holding 10% of the objective. Any progression from Ukraine, however paced, is just a kick in the nuts at this point.
