>But why does the West have to 'win' anyway? Because they don't share our ideologies of freedom and free markets. Also they seem to be still holding a grudge from how the west (mostly UK, but also some other western powers and Russia) behaved in that area around 1800s[0]. This implies that if they win, they will subjugate us. I don't mind being wrong about this, but it doesn't look good.
