I'm really struggling not to post 50 ad-hominems right now.
Russia is somewhat headed for North Kore-like mess.
Russia is actively messing with everyone around, was involved with several wars so far, is enabling war in Ukraine, notoriously causes incidents, tries to incite unrest in Estonia and other Eastern countries.
Latest campaign "against ISIS" caused massive civilian losses, fueling the migration crisis.
This is just off the top of my head.
Friendly with Russia my ass
I suggest you also read how bad Ukraine was under Yanukovych.
- teekert 10y agoSounds like your describing the US who pay the FSA and the Kurds who fight each other. Please read "confessions of an Economic Hitmen" and, as a nice example, watch the Regime change in Venezuela closely in 3...2...1...
- emp_zealoth 10y agoOh but i hold no hope for USA, with their endless hipocrisy (Segregation, deeply antidemocratic state [gerrymandering/clusterfuck of presidential elections/seemingly complete lack of accountability], horrific experiments on troops/civilians/prisoners [plutonium injections for example], cronyism [where US military causes deaths and the charges get dropped] Doesn't excuse anything Russia does though. The sooner it implodes economically the better
- teekert 10y ago"The sooner it implodes economically the better" You're talking about people you know. People that have already been through a lot of shit over the years. Let's hope for the best, lets hope for stability and prosperity. Both are reached by free trade and free interaction with, and travel to, the rest of the world. Certainly not by boycotts, and not by demonizing an entire nation of people like you and me.
