This is the wet dream of old grandpas and their geopolitical games. These are people looking at their map and compare who have the bigger (sphere of influence).

This is the wet dream of old grandpas and their geopolitical games. These are people looking at their map and compare who have the bigger (sphere of influence). Their thinking is stuck in the 19th century. They completely disregard the needs of people. They completely disregard the needs of this planet. Russia can conquer the whole world, but nobody will ever like it, because internally it is a broken, corrupt, dictatorial system. If Russia doesn't change its internal political system to a free and democratic one it is simply doomed to fail, no matter how many tanks and nuclear bombs they produce. (And the same is true for China)
