It would be if it could be. It tries in every arena but it’s just too weak to succeed. I don’t really see the point of swapping one piece of shit for another.
They literally have private mercenary armies running around Africa fucking shit up. I mean the US does too but it’s clear to any neutral observer that Russia use their power in a similar manner to the US to the best of their capabilities.
Can you explain how Russian mercenaries are “fucking shit up?” Who are they fighting, and who are they allied with? Fighting itself is not inherently bad, it isn’t just because the US fights that they are bad, it’s that the US uses millitary force to subjugate the global south and cement the system by which wealth is expropriated to the global north. Russia does not do that.
That sounds like a good thing then and it means the Russian Federation is engaging in anti-imperialism in Africa. Do you have an example of where you believe the US Empire is in the right?
I don’t have any examples. Not for Russia either. Like I said two sides of the same coin. The more we engage in this as if there are any desirable actors the further we get away from ending it. Putin and his cabinet were more than happy to engage with Jeffrey Epstein and Ehud Barack and all their depraved war profiteering. I don’t see any different between Russia and the US when it comes to fundamentals, only the US has more capability and reach. So no their “anti-imperialism” is not what it seems it says on the label. It’s a transfer of wealth from the working class to the oligarchs. They are working hand in hand with Americans to create a situation of endless conflict for which there is an endless need for weapons which just so happen to be manufactured by the companies they own huge amounts of shares in. How convenient.

There’s a difference between is and would be, and the difference is that what presently exists is of key importance.

This doesn’t answer any of my questions, it’s just dodging.

You know the answer. Proxy wars with Americans.

When pressed, the “anarchist” retreats from cold reality and into the comfort of stock, thought terminating cliches
This is just fan fiction.
When has Russia tried to take over the global economic system? What attempts has it made?
What does this mean? Since when is Russia taking over the governance of Europe even a remote possibility?
So all of the sudden Russia isnt imperialist?
