Belarus is profoundly communist.
China’s “capitalism” is just a tool they use against the West. (deep within, they hate the principle of capitalism) They tolerate it because it hurts our Western economies. That’s all.
China is still run by the one and only CCP (Chinese Communist party). Belarus is about the same thing.

I agree with you that Chechnya has a particular status.
It’s a constituent republic, a federal subject of the Russian Federation. But it has the power to refuse to participate in any wars of invasion the Kremlin is doing.
However, they went full in, with troops and everything.

Iran remains the world’s number one ultra islamic nation, by far. It is pro-actively helping Russia. In return Russia will now intensively help Iran. That’s why Israel a few days ago said it could start helping Ukraine.... etc.. etc...

Chechnya has similar status like one american state. Does say Michigan state have right to refuse participation in a war which US president started? I guess not. Same for Chechnya.

Belarus is profoundly communist.===

You absolutely wrong. They are government corporations economy with a lot of private small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs(aka self-employed).

China’s “capitalism” is just a tool they use against the West. (deep within, they hate the principle of capitalism) ==

I don’t know much about China. But your words look like you are a mind-reader of Chinese. “deep within” funny)))..

Iran remains the world’s number one ultra islamic nation, by far. ==

Yeas they are sharia republic. More like Pakistan. And they also have the parliament and political parties and president opposite of Saudi Arabia for example or Emirates or Kuwait. Latter are friends of America right?

It is pro-actively helping Russia. In return Russia will now intensively help Iran. ==

Yeah. They are helping each other. It is a fruit of western policy.

>>>

No nation in history has helped America to annex another country, ever. Simply because America hasn’t even tried to. It has tried to help countries to resist against Communists and Islamists though. Morally speaking that’s good right?

And for those who say America is just as imperialistic as Russia.. not at all! :
America has never tried to annex Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Europe, Serbia, Afghanistan. America never even had the intention of land-grabbing those countries, and they never did.

RUZZZIA on the other hand is doing true land-grabs! They invade and ANNEX and say “ This is Russian land now!”
They have TAKEN parts of Georgia, a region in Moldavia, Crimea, Donbas and even attempted to take Kiev, but they failed miserably there.

Also:
If you don’t like the word “communist” concerning Belarus, it’s clearly profoundly Soviet style. Just like Russia.
Soviet-style means: The sitting President cant be dislodged. Just like for Putin, all the rules and laws have been optimized for that. Dissenting opposition leaders are being sent to prison. Journalists have to be pro-state or they will be arrested or assassinated, if you criticize the Belarus state or the russian State a bit too much you’ll end up falling from a window from the +7th floor, accident oops... etc...
THAT is Soviet ideology! Russia, Belarus, China follow the exact same algorithm.

We cant let Soviet cancerous expansion continue into our own western home-nations. We just cant do that.

I don’t have anything against Russia, we don’t try to invade it in any way. Russia IS the imperial aggressor here. It MUST bring its troops back to Russia. The annexing-other-nations-ideology has to stop.

But America annexed Indian lands and Part of Mexico actually half of Mexico territory of that time. SO America did grab the lands if she could.

RUZZZIA on the other hand is doing true land-grabs! They invade and ANNEX and say “ This is Russian land now!”

Because those lands were Russian before soviet commies sized power. Russia don’t pretend on other countries land. Except her stolen lands.

If you don’t like the word “communist” concerning Belarus, it’s clearly profoundly Soviet style. Just like Russia.==

Because there are scientific term what is a “communism”. By this definition Belarus is NOT communists by any means.

“Soviet-style” again you invention but there is a scientific definition what was a Soviet System. Again your definition contradicts scientific.
In Soviet System there no president at all. There is the general secretary of ruling party who rules. But he is elected by the members of presidium of party. Nothing like this in Belarus. Or Russia for this matter.

FYI In Belarus and Russia the president is elected by direct voting of people. No electoral college for example just direct votes.

THAT is Soviet ideology! ==

You know nothing about soviet ideology. FYI soviets means “counsils”. Counsels are direct representatives of people of country. And counsils are the source of power.
They assigned everyone and everything of power. They votes for laws too. They assigned judges and executive officers all same.
Ring the bell? You are in France after all right? It is very same French Convent system of French Revolution of 17 century. But taken to extreme from up to down to some village councils.
So “soviets” is really a WESTREN invention. Funny isn’t it?

>>>>>

You are right on one thing. Marx was inspired by some French nutcases and wrote a political book about it. Marx always said though that communism was just a “ idea” that could never be implemented for real. And indeed, NO free western European country implemented that crazy idea. The Problem with Russia, is that they listened to those few powerless nutcases in the west and FORCEFULLY implemented their clownish theory -> communism.

You say Russia isn’t communist today.. why are its main collaborators ALL communists then ?? Funny...

You are spectacularly wrong in saying there is no Soviet influence left in Russia.
Putin was a KGB officer. and he runs Russia exactly according to old KGB-SOVIET rules. One has to be blind to not realize this obvious evidence.

Russia is INDEED behaving like and old Soviet totalitarian nation. Period.

Because they are anti-western and none of them communist. There no and never was any communist states. Because the communism is utopia unreachable by any country.

See BRICS. India, Brazil, South Afrika are they communist by you?

You don’t want you are talking about. KGB is just counsel of special services. It like a military consists of many types: army, air force, navy and so on.

KGB stands for K- committee, G - nation, B- security. The committee of a nation security. It included a lot like communications(analog of NSA), bodyguard’s service(analog of secret service), and also counterintelligence(analog FBI) and intelligence(analog of CIA). There are few more but don’t remember. So KGB is a close analog of American NIC(national intelligence council).

You see there no KGB anymore but still NIC stands.

So KGB can’t formulate their own policy. They just servants of government power which completely control them. SO when you say like “kgb-soveit rule”. It sound same funny like “NIC-Congress rule”.
