As ugly as it is one can make the argument it is better for Russia to have more influence over Europe now because the elite there are turning it over to muslims.
At least Russia is less tolerant of Islam, we are stuck with choosing the lesser of two evils.

That is my assessment regarding the war in Ukraine.
If Zelensky refuses to make a deal, we should be like Pontius Pilate and wash our hands regarding the war.
If Germany, France and UK are up for it, they can continue to support Ukraine to keep them afloat.
China is also in bad shape because of their one child policy. China could be even worse because you can not believe their numbers published. They recently admitted that their population fell from 1.5 to 1.4 Billion. That .1 is 100 million people.
The difference is that people from the third world countries actually WANT to go to the EU, Canada and the USA. So, we can let in as many as we want. Japan is finally reconsidering their immigration policy. China is screwed because nobody wants to move there.
Italy has an issue with African migrants because of their location close to Tunisia. Italy got so bad five/ten years ago that they were actually selling houses for 1Euro.
They still are giving an incentive for people to retire there. A 7% income tax rate IF you move to a small town in the southern provinces. It has attracted lots of retirees from the UK. Plus quite a few from the US and Canada. Even real estate in Tuscany have dropped 50% in places. Unless it is an AirBnB tourist location.
Russia has a large Muslim population. Putin treats them well, so long as they behave.
Putin has also been weaponizing Muslim migrants, transporting them to the Polish border, trying to send them into the West.
If Russia was in charge there would be a lot mor suicides involving windows and tall buildings.
