How can one country have so much luck is unbeliveable. Probably all of them sold their souls to the devil or something.
Maybe the other side sold their souls. Interesting times ahead.

>does 180 It seems like a lot of people of are doing 180 as of recently.
Kayden Brown
Russia is gonna experience more internal fracture in the future, but a full collapse is unlikely. The highly centralized money flow has made some of the federal areas irritated. Tartarstan, that can be seen as the locomotive in russian economy, has openly critizised Kremlin subsidising heavily Chechenia and other loss states.
So, is Stratfor trying to push something like the Dugin plan, or are they getting people ready for Dugin to be the next big bad muh russia enemy?
Oliver Lopez
It's called nukes, not luck. We could've destroyed Russia in the markets by simply undercut them in oil until they either collapse or the people get sick of being paid $300 a month; of course this never happened because Russia would use a trade war to start a nuclear one.
And because our Ukraine and Syria coups fail, with Trump wanting to work with Russia against the clusterfuck that the CIA has left behind, Russia is now back in the fold. We can thank the absolute incompetence of the Intelligence Community along with the vote of the American people for that.
Josiah Morales
Gas yourself.
Luke Cooper
Thanks CIA, next time you create an out of control Wahhabi group, put a better lease on them.
Cooper Martinez
the dumb fucks ignored history and projected their "universal" values on to Russian public Russia has never been an economic power, they handle a shit economy much better than the US would I don't know if they thought that a switch got flipped in the last 15 years and all Russians magically changed or what
Connor Wood
>freidman
he got optimistic opinions on turkey too, also he knows how to banter lel
By following them a bit it seems they subscribe to Bzerzinski's way of thinking. Meaning, a main threat to US will always be any country that has the potential to dominate Eurasia and thus unite the resources of it against you.
You fighting Nazis to prevent that especially.
China can't ever fill that role since it is restricted by geography (Himalayas, Hindukush, Gobi desert, Siberia).
Only country being capable of fulfilling that role is Russia since they lay right in the middle and they don't have any barriers like China.

be thankfull he knows some other oblast in Russia besides Chechnya. They don't look on map of Russia ever, but they know all US states. If Tyva of Altay republic were to get independence from Russia tommorow they'd be "wtf".
Evan Adams
There are some improvements. For instance, you went in Ease of Doing Business Index from 120th to 40th place in about 5-6 years. That is a fenomenal success.
But you will always remain state capitalist country.
Kayden Rogers
I know about the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. It shows that Russia is a tolerant country that knows the Jews have a right to exist as long as it's in some kind of encampment where they can be Jewish by themselves.
Logan Wright
>Jewish Autonomous Oblast With 1% jews. Stalin wanted to send all jews at the Far East of the country.
Luke Wilson
jews there are less than 2% but cucked Russia would never change the name even after the last jew leaves. There are good names of villages that sound very middle eastern, but the whole autonomous oblast...its not even supposed to exist in that form because all other autonomous oblasts were abolished after the fall of USSR.
Zachary Rodriguez
I think it would solve the Palestine issue peacefully to fund the relocation of Israel to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. It seems like such a waste.
Samuel Wilson
There is a fucking village called Ptichnik (literally hen house or chicken coop). Imagine living there. Someone asks "where are you from?" and you answer "From the hen house!"
I don't know how that's suppose to be strange for us.
Many countries have chicken villages.
Jackson Cox
>But you will always remain state capitalist country Not necessarily, but in the nearest future definitely yes - the people are too used to the nanny state

In Russia the cock and chikens are like stigma animals sorta, you don't want to be called a chiken or a cock, or to be anyhow associated with those birds. Thats why mem "proofs" with the cock is supposed to be offensive.
James Fisher
Is this just a CIA ploy to recast Russia into a credible threat, to justify huge military spending and power grabbing?
Can't take the Russkies seriously if Stratfor says they are gonna just cave in anyway.
Ryan Kelly
Interesting... I did not know that.
Gavin Morgan
that's interesting. I wonder (((who))) could be behind that meme then?
Lincoln Morgan
Do you have any form of proofs for your fantastical claims?
tartarstan is hardly the center of russian econonmy, dude...
Grayson Lewis
The timing is great for liberals because it fits the muh Russia narrative... but it's truth. The fact is that Russia isn't just painted rust, smoke and mirrors like it used to be. Putin has been saying this for almost two decades now -- even on here people like to pretend that Russia is a paper tiger. It isn't. The West got so fucking cocky and up itself after the collapse of the USSR that they've turned a blind eye to Russia for ~30 years now. Russia is a fucking powerhouse and has been for ages. Nobody wanted to believe it. Now they see.
Grayson Cruz
no reason not to, they predicted a trump-type nationalist way back when
Easton Cox
The prediction that they would collapse was always wrong. They would just genocide their ethnic minorities if they tried to go independent.
But the idea that they have an expanding sphere of influence is utter bullshit. They're back to good old Russian stagnation at these oil prices.
Owen Wilson
I'm not for Russian power, but I can certainly recognize that a nation that prides itself on survival and manipulation has thoroughly thought every scenario before Sup Forums did. I'm sure they have plenty of plans in place for a situation as you described.
When one superpower hurts, we all do.

1) So what, America has an obscenely large budget and yet cannot kill a bunch of goatfuckers because its mostly about money laundering taxpayer money for the MIC 2) Again so what, nowadays most engagements need small professional forces 3) See #2 4) It saves us from annihilation, but in hybrid warfare is completely useless 5) Uh which one?? Ukraine is currently under a fascist oligarchy that is rabidly anti-Russian, if anything that is the opposite of success
Parker Collins
>Ukraine >Fascist
A country where the fascists barely get 2% at elections can't be that fascist, can it?

>Saudis and OPEC drop oil prices even lower
Saudis are unironically facing regime collapse if they can't get oil prices back up in the medium term thanks to their rentier state relying on gibs to buy the loyalty of a constantly-growing population.
But yes, Mohammed bin Mohammed, go ahead and root for your backwards cesspit to kill itself while trying to take out a nuclear power in economic warfare.
