In a rather ironic twist, as Europe slips into recession and Russia’s economy flourishes, we see articles attempting to assert that Russia will suffer from losing its ties with the West.
This demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding on behalf of Western nations towards the Global Majority and their ability to thrive without reliance on the West.
Likewise, the analogies drawn with the Cold War are utterly baseless, as the situation today is diametrically opposed - during the Cold War, the West was the dominant economic powerhouse, while now it is the BRICS that hold sway.
It’s becoming pretty clear that the fact that USSR was communist had little to do with anything. What US hated the most is that they had competition, and now that Russia is no longer communist, they just use the same narrative because to them it does not matter.
It’s absolutely wild to see the fingerprints of Talleyrand on political decisions taken over 200 years later half world away.
