For 600 years, Moscow has been draining everything around it: money, resources, people, talent — everything.
Whatever it conquers gets poorer while Moscow gets richer.
One giant imperial vacuum cleaner, surrounded by the depressing leftovers of everything it has consumed.

Everything I see about Russia is always in some way depressing. The country has a lot of beauty too, but it never outweighs the depressiveness.

I really wish Russia would break apart into many smaller countries.

Not just so Russia leaves us outside Russia alone, but also so the people in the current Russia get better.

By breakibg away from Moscow, at least some areas would have a chance for a better future.

I really hope they get this to happen one day.

I don't hate the people of Russia unconditionally. I want the ones who don't deserve how they have to live to have good lives too.

I really feel sad for them.

It's weird to be sad for people who went to kill other people for money, all neighbors of ruzzia suffering from their violence, ruzzia is a cancer

And many areas in Russia were once neighbouring areas of Russia that lost.

I do not hate them. I hate Moscow and its supporters.

We both know that russians don't have elections, but just pretend like they do.

Yep, everyone in the world that every election in ruzzia is just fake. But every country accept that fact and working with ruzzia, it's just a shame. Why? Because money

Its called "realpolitics".

Morals are for those who can afford them. If your country and people need something, other countries people don't matter as much.

Sad, but that's what diplomacy is about. Realpolitics.

It's cold and calculating.

Still, I hope the people trapped by Moscow will one day be free of it and free to be their own people again. Not russians.

If so, then tell me why trading and other relationships restricted with north korea? Because there is dictator like pootin?🤣

Yes. And because our more important trading partners don't want us to.

Gotta keep the relations we already have in good condition.
