He's creating the foundation for less dependence on the west, which is basically the point. He desires for Russia to be self-sufficient or at least party self-sufficient with help from Asian markets, primarily China damaging the economy in the short-term isn't an issue since the goal of long-term success is in view.

I remember when Hitler chose to top his advance through Europe because Forbes told him his actions would cause a 5% loss of trade with the countries he was steamrolling.
Ah, it's all part of his long-term plan to scare all the investors out of Russia which will obviously result in...

Or that time China decided it would be wrong to steal Vietnamese oil and risk their 50 billion dollar trade relations with them.
Bye bye to America and parts of Europe.
Hello Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East!
Right, they aren't stopping with Kazakhstan . . . soon they'll have Syria, Egypt, Cuba, and Bolivia in their camp as well.
1. Break away from global economic interdependence
2. Get as many po-dunk dictatorships on your side as possible

Obviously, you have not been paying attention. They just secured a huge trade treaty with the number one exporter of potassium.
Now the west will have inferior potassium.
Just for clarification, are Pupi and Zroc using Nazi Germany as an example of what Putin is/should be doing?

You know I'm not. That's why you completely ignored the second example with China. The point I was making was that idealistic nationalists might just happen to have their own ambitions beyond the latest change in a percentage.
Brazil is a key one. Very, very critical, especially as it will continue to rise in influence. Russia holds a lot of influence in Latin America, especially since most people in Latin America are authoritarian Marxists (the leaders) and large amount of Christians in the region.

You're kidding right?
Military dominance that will be gone in 20 years.

Putin flew to Astana to sign a treaty with his counterparts from Kazakhstan and Belarus creating a trading bloc of more than 170 million people to challenge the U.S. and the European Union. Two other former Soviet staes, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, plan to join the Eurasian Economic Union this year.
The Christianity of Latin America has much more in common with the west than with Russian Orthodoxy.
The only Latin American countries with Marxist dictators are the ones nobody really gives much of a shit about anyway.
