    As an Iranian, I'm not okay with this whole allyship thing.

    Actually Russia has ALL the necessary resources to become a strong country. (And a good country to live in) The problem is that it is difficult to become strong when you have evil leaders. With all the natural resources, educated people, technological skill and modern infrastructure (in cities) Russia has all the possibilities to be a rich country providing for very comfortable lives of its citizens. Instead people outside cities are poor like in development countries, their male children are dying in the 10 000's. Life is misery to many people. Russia is simply the most underperforming country in the world! The reason? The culture is very receptive for destructive forms of nationalism where Russia must "be powerful". The Russian culture needs a reformation just like christianity once did. Vladolf Putler and his entourage is stopping this reformation and is the direct cause of Russias underperforming and the Russian peoples bad quality of life.

      True. From what i learned about Venezuela, it seems like if countries which overly rely on commodities like oil and do not diversify into other sectors are doing worse than others, especially when commodity prices go down(Or if you start a war and Europe slowly stops buying your commodities :D). It is easy in these authoritharian countries to blow that reliable oil money on corruption and politics but then they never get anywhere. They should have innovated other sectors decades ago if they had less corruption and more care for their country and people, instead they wanted to achieve things militarily like in the previous centuries which is not gonna be tolerated anymore. Venezuela used to be the 4th richest country and now it is the poorest country of America. Russia is definitely on the same path right now even though how much poorer it can get is questionable and sad to think about. Norway has a huge sovereign fund put aside to be good even when oil performs badly or does not make money anymore, Saudi Arabia has i think the cheapest cost per barrel and the USA is a technological powerhouse with diversified industries and global currency. :D Russia is in a costy war while being sanctioned to the hell...so "good luck" Vladolf, people used to think he is smarter than that, before he started acting and proved everyone wrong.

Iraq invasion is perfect example. No country on earth launches invasion based on a lie without fear of repercussion, accountability and gets away with it, no sanction, no investigation, no nothing. or weaponize its currency to subjugate a countries. Ppl say "Oh US does that to bad actors, dictatorships" . What about Imposition of Plaza Accord on Japan?

    Russia could learn something from Germany. Germany's influence is greater than ever because Germany respects its neighbors. The EU countries were always at war with each other up to and including World War II. Since then, it has been possible to discuss disagreements at a table rather than on a battlefield. It has brought prosperity to the population.
    That was also the hope with Russia when the Soviet Union fell. But now Putin has revived all the enmity which only gives a worse economy to a better life because more money has to go to the military. And unfortunately it will probably be like this for the next 30-50 years.
    And Russia will lose the economic war for resources. Russia's economy is the size of Spain's. Then add all the other countries in Europe. It will be like the escalation of the last cold war. And it could have gone completely differently.

They also get 1 million rubles after the birth of their 10th child. It is supposed to try to help with Russia's low birth rates and declining population.

Another caveat about this is that all 10 must be alive to receive the award and money. If one dies from cancer or a car crash they don't count. and you would need to have 11 children.

People you gathered around you are probably more radical than you /literally brainwashed and they push you forward. similiar things are happen in china, clearly visible in the pelosi situation, where large parts of the brainwashed population and the party are more radical than xi jinping can afford to be for now.
      2) Sadly, young wealthy and educated russians in the western oriented cities are in no way representitve for the russian population.It`s basically like interviewing students or tech people in the bay area. But outside these small bubbles, it`s putin-land!

    Regarding the guy with glasses in the middle of the video, I've often heard that Russia is an autocracy because Russian leaders think that this sort of control is necessary to expand and maintain influence. They do it to become "great", as they see greatness.
    Then, the idea goes on, Russian leaders feel frustrated that their country is not the best at all things, that it cannot compete well in all domains.
    I don't agree that any of this is true, reasonable or even logical, but I would like to point out one thing: Great innovation and accomplishment is likely to occur in historical periods where there is 1) an influx of new ideas due to contacts with other cultures because innovation must always stand on the shoulders of giants. When you encounter new ideas and technologies, there is a bloom of invention because new things become possible when you synthesize new ideas.
    and 2) Innovation can only occur in a fairly free and unhindered environment. This is why google has silly things like ping pong tables, yoga classes, meditation rooms and flexible scheduling.
    So basically, if Russian leaders really believe all that stuff, then they are actually sabotaging themselves. If so, it's kind of amazing that none of them figured that out yet.

He says that they conceive people only as an aggregate group, not as persons in their own right or even in their own subjective experience. In the face of the body of Russian literary and cultural work, his ideas are edging on delusional, but he asserts them most forcefully, co-opting an apparent misunderstanding of post-modernism to say, literally, that whatever he says is true is really true, and it is true just because he believes it. It is more true if he can get others to believe it.

      Your questions reminded me of a talk I had in Moscow 2010/2011. It ended with my phrase: If the USA would (after years of research) reveal that 1+1=2, Russia would say: No, everything, but not 2.
      It is hilarious, if every argument, no matter how valid, is denied and you are told: It is the opposite.

      The need for opposition is a classic tool of dictators to unite the country, bring support to the government and justify the insane spending on military budget instead of education or infrastructure. They need a boogeyman to explain why half the world hates them "the US is forcing the EU to sanction us" it's alot less harsh than the truth. Space is the only interest I can think of the problem is Russia wants to be on the level of the US and China but they don't have the influence or cash to get even close putin is so power-hungry and obsessed with being a great tsar he set Russia on a course of once again crumbling there is no common ground I'm afraid
