How has Russia's decline been accelerated by Washington stupidity? In what dimension? On Twitter or CNN?
Let me know when NATO is marching across Siberia.
Because in the real world what matters is real resources.
I am sure Russia has its own problems but the idea that Washington/London is the eternal capital of a world empire and that China and India and the Gulf Arabs and the former European colonies in Africa will just roll over to go against their own interests to support the almighty paper dollar seems ridiculous to me.

Oh, of course not. The future is probably Chinese and African (largely Nigerian). Maybe Indian. Only way the back half of this century isn't the beginning of another long stretch of Chinese dominance is if they totally fuck it up.
- Ma8ee 5y agoWhat kind of outcome can you think of where Russia's economy isn't pushed back at least 30 years? Fighting wars over natural resources haven't made sense in more than hundred years. They are such small part of the global economy, and the cost of land grabs and long term occupation is way too expensive. So NATO doesn't need to march across Siberia. If there isn't a regime change, Russia is going to end up like North Korea. Isolated, desperately poor, and except that they have some nukes, ignored and irrelevant.
