Neoliberal is something else.

Egoist is more fitting.

We will see. Putin has built a very stable authoritarian system that could very well survive him.

Interesting layout. What do you like about it?

Russia needs to fundamentally change for that to happen. Maybe even disintegrate a lose much of their central and eastern asian territory. Russia is too big to be easily integrated into europe.

we side with Russia, we as EU Ukraine included

Become part of Russia’s empire is the only way this works.

A point of no return won’t be hit for a while. The buildings still exist and people with domain knowledge are still around.

There’s also no historical baggage with Chinese colonialism in Africa.

Let me spell it out, so you can understand it. Africans are suspicious of Europeans, because of the history with colonialism. They aren’t suspicious of China, because there’s no history of Chinese colonialism in Africa.

Otherwise, I haven’t even used the word colonialism, but imperialism. China was called Chinese Empire until 1912. They were weak at the time because of technological, societal, administrative and scientific deficiencies. The Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China laid claim to the same imperial possessions. It’s a continuation of the same imperial civilization under a different name.

I mentioned specific things, not everything.

Pleas explain how conquest of Tibet and settlement with Chinese, invasion of Vietnam, and the treatment of Uyghurs is not imperialism.

HIstorically, China is the oldest empire that’s still around on the planet.

Where did I make an equivalence?

You’re confusing me with someone else.

that actually they would be no worse off if America was bombing them and taking over.

What are you even talking about? I never said anything like that.

how you have to go back half a century

It’s an example that’s relevant to the region and China.

Countries in East and Southeast Asia are Westerners now? The Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese, Pinoy, Vietnamese, Malays will be surprised to hear that. All of these countries are afraid of Chinese ambitions.

Maybe ask the Tibetans if they think the Chinese annexation of their homeland is just Western hypocrisy.

remotely comparable to what the USA does

You are aware that China invaded Vietnam after the USA left?

You are ignorant of the regional policies. Not everything is as Western centric as your limited understanding of geopolitics.

who cares?

Literally all other countries in the region.

The US playbook usually means having the support of allies. They lost the trust of all of them.
