That’s not so much about Russia as it is about the west. The neoliberal consensus that dominates western democracy is really big on military spending and not so great at caring for and educating people. In a sane world they would recognize that a discontent populace is as much of a vulnerability as a weak military.
That’s a really interesting point/idea- that it’s less prowess on the part of Russia and more of a defense failure and vulnerability among other nations

Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks! I just wish it wasn’t insight from watching America get conquered from within over the last few decades.
