Yeah, Russia was turning into a raw materials exporter for the EU which definitely wasn’t great for them. In the end, things worked out a lot better for Russia than Europe. They now have reliable partners in the Global South who aren’t trying to destroy them, and the war forced Russia to start industrializing again and developing an actual economy.
White liberals finally revealed themselves as racist bigots that they are. They must have found it so hard to conceal their true nature while attempting to court minorities, and now that they didn’t get what they wanted, their true feelings burst into the open.
