I am pretty confident that atm in time democracy doesn't fit Russia, it was inevitable. It's not because democracy is bad, is just Russia is an empire that is kept together by fear, force, and conquest. There is very little common ground between the muslim population of Chechnya, metropolitan "Europeans" of St.Peterburg and Altaians for example. E.g. there is no nation in the Russian Federation, only the population of an empire.
Very good point friend.

I have always believed that the Russian federation is not a federation but a brutal, old school colonial empire masquarading as a modern federation and like you said, keeping it all glued together by brute force and terror. So yeah, they are trying to sit on two chairs and it just doesn't work in today's climate.

The United States has published a list of goods prohibited for export to Russia. The list contains 570 titles. Among them - alcohol, tobacco products, clothes and shoes over $1,000, precious stones, electric cars and motorcycles.

It's been like this for ages, why they trying to make it like it's a suprise? Russian propaganda have been paying money to all the right wing imbeciles of Europe and America to say and do something in favour of Russian position and then they've been showing it for months and years in Russian state medias

Pro-authoritarian Westerners should be treated like communists were back then.

Some can be isolationists', does not make them pro-authoritarian.

Non-withstanding the fact this stance is useful to autocrats world-wide.

I agree and i somewhat stand there myself, but tucker, though i do like some of his takes, is playing political chess, since biden is using putin as his scapegoat for all his obvious failures, tucker and his likes on the right are presenting the invasion as somewhat the fault of dems and biden as counter weight. So it's not out of love for putin imo but I still find this morally reprehensible, but that's politics.
