is evaporizedhas evaporated and now Putin is Xi's little dog.soIf we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just aphantasyfantasy, and it won't hurt to let go of some.I think it's scary that the Russian Federation will probably "Balkanize" if Ukraine won't capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that's terrifying to consider.
Then again, they probably don't work very well given what we've seen about the performance of the so-called "2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth". But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.
well the fall of the udssr was a joy so i expect part 2 to be great aswell. from what i understand the russians also want to buy mcdonalds, iphone and porsche and not live gulag life. when hitler was dead all of a sudden my fellow germans werent into nazi shit much. once putin gets to eat bullets chances are good russians lose interest in killing their neighbours. stupid russians.

First and foremost, Russians do not want to kill Ukrainians. But that's like saying that people do not want to pay 40% of their income on rent and utilities. Nobody cares what people want
I wonder what the secret baltic/polish/sauce is that they improved so fast after the fall of the wall?
Why are moldova/ukraine/belarus struggling.
As you mention, the balkans haven't experienced the same rate of improvement after the fall of the ottomans.
Honest answer, fear of Russia. Baltic states and Poland know first hand that given a chance Russia would gobble them up so they focused on getting into NATO and EU while Russia was still weak.
Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus stuck with CIS (Russian sphere of influence) and it hasn't paid off for them. Ukraine got what Baltic states and Poland feared (which is why they're one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine) and Moldova went "oh fuck, Russia can't be trusted" as they decided to go down the path of leaving the CIS and joining EU and NATO.
The countries who decided to embrace the west got a better deal than the ones who decided to stick with Russia.
