The deconstruction of Russia and reconstruction of a “post-Russia space”: a risky but inevitable scenario

The breakdown of domestic confidence in the Russian military, which has traditionally been the core of the Kremlin’s legitimacy is highly apparent.

The humiliation of the Russian military in Ukraine is now almost complete with the proud Black Sea Fleet hiding away from Crimea too scared to take action against a country that doesn’t even have a navy.

Moreover, Russian men massively avoid conscription, knowing what fate awaits them on the battlefield. This has fueled the disproportionate recruitment of ethnic minorities from Chechnya and other regions on the Federation’s fringes – the easiest groups to use as cannon fodder – fueling discontent.

[Cronos]

Successive US administrations have expressed pronounced fears regarding the prospects of Russian state collapse. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, most western policymakers were apprehensive about the impact of the unravelling of the Soviet Bloc and the collapse of the Soviet Union. They calculated that imperial fracture and state collapse would lead to civil wars, mass bloodshed, and unstable borders. Such fears were transmitted to national leaders in Ukraine and other states seeking to extract themselves from Moscow’s empire, but the government in Kyiv and the majority of the population did not heed the advice of a nervous US administration.

The collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the unravelling of the Soviet Union should serve as poignant lessons that geopolitical revolutions occur regardless of Kremlin disinformation or the West’s belief in a permanent status quo.

I think the guys behind this concept are begging for the partition of Poland:)

[PGR88]

This is like Joe Biden child-porn, but for neocons.

[Spok]

The real question is how Putin will accept the demise of his empire, especially if he’s really dying? He faces an eternity of limbo or hell. Either way, does he care what condition he leaves civilization in?

[DesertRhino]

The rise and spread of Galician neo-Nazi philosophy, backed by the EU and DC is the real threat. They are a small people that never stops roasting chestnuts of ethnic hate.

Screw em.

[ought-six]

That’s a good article.

I think the collapse of the Russian Federation is inevitable, if not imminent. China is going to eat its lunch, and probably soon.
China regards Siberia — all of Siberia — as Chinese.

Russia, as it is currently comprised, is on its way out. Alarmingly, a lunatic is at its helm; and a lunatic will usually lash out at the end. Here’s hoping saner heads will prevail, and he is removed by the Russian people.

[NorseViking]

Your last paragraph is more fitting for the DC elites.

[Cronos]

Russia has 21 "republics":

1. Adygea - a republic of the ancient Circassian people (history dating to the classical era)
   
   
   
2. Altai - a TurkiC people with Yenisean admixture
   
   
   
3. Bashkortostan - a land of the Bashkirs, another TurkiC people - this time from the Kipchak branch
   
   
   Buryatia - Buryats are a Mongol people
   
   
   
   
4. Chechnya - well we know them, eh? A North-Caucasian people with at least 2000 years of known history --> One interesting note, they were Christianized by the Georgians but went full on Muslim Sunni only when threatened by Russian conquest
   
   
   
   
5. Chuvash - another TurkiC people but this time from the Oghuz branch (the other sub-branches died out)
   
   
   
   
6. Mordvin people - an Uralic people distantly related to Magyar and Finn/Estonians
   
   
   
   Mari people - another Uralic group
   
   
   
   
7. udmurt - another Uralic people and the people with the most instance of Red hair (so largest % of Neanderthal genes)
   
   

And the Yakuts, etc. etc. - not to mention there are Koreans in the far eastern oblasts

[Cronos]

Nah, the fact is that your President Putin is destroying Russia

[Cronos]

looking at Putin’s actions now, and in the past - he doesn’t care what happens to Russia. until now he enriched himself and his buddies at the expense of ordinary Russians.

Russia has tons of mineral wealth but also it HAD human resources at high skill levels. Putin’s regime p*$$ed it away.

Now he looks like he just wants it all to burn

[BenLurkin]

The threat Russia poses to the world is dwarfed by the evil of what Joe Biden refers to as “the Liberal World Order.”

[House Atreides]

RUSSIA- RUSSIA- RUSSIA! 🤣🙀🤣

[ought-six]

The Russian Federation is comprised of 22 republics. Each of those republics has some degree of autonomy, specific to an ethnic minority. However, they are precluded from international decisions, and those decisions are all made by Moscow.

This is a recipe for dismemberment.

Ethic groups, with their own, homogenous — and separate — “homeland,” who are denied the right to make their own decisions vis-a-vis the international order; and who are dominated by and ultimately controlled by an ethnic group not their own; will eventually break away. It is the natural order of things.

[NorseViking]

You guys said the same thing 100 years ago.

Damon Wilson's life work has been mostly about Eastern Europe. Advised and worked for NATO, the Atlantic Council and is now CEO/President of the NED who has taken over regime change that the CIA used to do clandestinely.

…the strategy [of consolidating control over Eastern Europe] is not meant to create new dividing lines in Europe. The aim is to anchor a vulnerable, insecure zone in the certainty of a stable and prosperous and free Europe, and over the long time [sic] this vision includes a democratic Russia. But the pathway to reform in Moscow might just begin with choices that are made in Kiev, Chișinău, Yerevan, and Tbilisi.

Yes, the US/NATO have every intention of the deconstruction/reconstruction of Russia. to anchor a vulnerable, insecure zone in the certainty of a stable and prosperous and free Europe -- this vision includes a democratic Russia. Trying to do a Great Reset of Russia. A nuclear armed Russia. What could go wrong?

[Cronos]

So we stop both of them, one at a time

[Cronos]

well no - more like Muscowy - Mordvinia - Yakutia - Ossetia etc. etc.

[Cronos]

100 years ago Putin didn’t exist - unless you Russians think he is a reincarnation of Lenin.
