Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?
I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China
tl:dr; corrupt Russian-backed politican tries to steal presidency, fails, gets US Republican politician’s help to win presidency “legally” with culture war BS, succeeds. Proceeds to do corrupt-Russian-backed politician things. Ukrainians get sick of it and give him the boot. Russia gets pissy and annexes Crimea. Also tries to annex south and east of country, fails, instead ends up with a bite of the Donbas. Things calm down for eight years, then full-scale invastion.
