That’s pure Dugin.
What values? I was thinking values were highly lacking nowadays.
So happy Putin isn’t “imposing” himself in Ukraine.
Then tell the rest of the world to stay the hell out of the US Vlad, you Russki suka!(”Russian bitch’’).
But Islamism, Russkyi Mir and Chinese communism are just as toxic as Western cultural imperialism, where they are exported at gunpoint or through antidemocratic interventions.
For decades many positive Western cultural exports were adopted freely by the general populations. And adapted, even by supposedly antiwestern regimes.
Bollywood mirrors the golden age of Hollywood and the Cyber industry in India has elevated millions out of poverty.
The internet can be used for good or bad, but without it Russkyi Mir would barely reach past the borders of Eurasia. Russia benefits enormously from tge culture it complains about.
Until the Islamic revolutions and Russian intervention, Iran and Afghanistan were both healthy, pluralist countries with liberal and conservative populations living side by side.
The pattern seems to be, if people are free to choose, they don’t actively go out of their way to reject the Western cultural exports. Totalitarian regimes make a huge song and dance about rejecting western values, but they’re still all driving western cars, using adapted western modern communication tools, copying western film and television...
Apart from half of Russia still being unable to compute the value of indoor toilets with modern plumbing (as a consequences of decades of Soviet information control more than anything else), I don’t see what Putin sees.
But Russia has the right to impose its values upon Ukraine, right?
Regards,
Anarchists, leftists, liberals, too many Democrats and “progressives” all accepted the Russian and Chinese communist largesse - to be spent on academic, community, and media organizing plus rioting: “the unrest” of the 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s.
All those socialists of varied flavors, promoting decadence, debauchery, and depravity; and, becoming “leaders” by way of threatening destruction, riots, plus dishonest and wild accusations - if they did not get their way.
The targets of all those leftist movements, unfortunately giving way over time: moral tradition and upbringing, surrendered, such that, the flotsam and jetsam of the expanding social[ist] “solutions” mess, continued to expand its way eastward - to Putin’s surprise.
Putin has not recognized, that the most effective opposition to the rotten fruits of socialism, is decent behavior and truth. That, in contrast to applications of bombardment, threatening destruction - if Putin does not get his way.
And that, also being a lesson not to be taken lightly by the globalist-enlightenment.
Socialism, proclaimed by academics to be inevitable, is actually a terminus wherein socialists tear each other to pieces, exhausting life and love.
Why doesn't China use its cachet with "western" elites to defend the Russian position? Why doesn't Putin ask them to?
The whole thing makes about as much sense as the alliances in old time kayfabe professional rasslin'.
I would like to not have RAT style “values” imposed upon America. They are ruinous.
Neither does Putin.
Just saying.
