Russia really doesn't need the "Western banking." Because the "access to Western banking"
Yes, Russia doesn't need anything the West has to offer, I got to know this by just following this thread, Russia was, is and always will be a self-sufficient country

when you are talking about the "Mongol ancestors of Russians" - don't forget that you yourself speak the language of Mongol origin, not the Russians.
The mongols didn't make it to Estonia - they sure as hell conquered Kievan Rus - Kievan Rus=Mongol ancestry - Mongol language influence on Russian language - Russians=Mongols - you=Russian=Mongol. Checkmate

The point there is - as much as people in your corner of the world can be all puffed-up about their own "europeannes" and that they were allowed to play in the sand-box with the "big guys," i.e. Europeans - you are probably aware that neither Balts, nor your neighbors Finns are what's considered important part of Europe. You know what's the attitude in Europe towards the Balts, don't you? Second sort of people - that's right, as much as Romanians and Bulgarians. So may I suggest that you are the Bulgarians - no, may be the Czechs of the North)))))
Get over your inferiority complexes

As much as you'd like to bow to the "economic giants" and believe that their power is limitless, you are wrong and their power does have limits.
Mhm, that's exactly what my words meant you go guurl

The artificially-inflated bubble of "western banking" is bound to burst, and there are a lot of loopholes for the likes of BRICS - Russia-China - whatever, and they'll exploit each and every opportunity, destroying dollar as reserve currency including. Russia indeed might be a pivotal force in this process - to wreck the West after all.
What have the multiple first person shooters such as COD taught us? The Russians always end with a bullet to the head

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again - it was a big mistake of the West to try to dig her a grave twenty years ago. It only dug it for itself.
Yea, that's what the reality tells us. That's the reason you live in a grave, rather than the Putja Paradise.

If we are Mongols, than the President of Estonia is half-Mongol. His mother is Russian.
Congratulations!
Well, I agree with some of your points, but not with your jokes. Sorry.
Our president also has Jewish ancestry. And having Mongol ancestry is not to be taken negatively. My point was merely to point out that the Russian mentality isn't that of an angel either.
because other than him I can't find anything special about ukraine. I mean he is a good boxer but not as good as tyson, ali or even rocky marciano or even Golovkin these days.
another "plus" of Ukraine: Mila Kunis...who looks like an average jewish/russian woman. Nothing special about here, you can see much hotter women on the street of every random european country.
And...the reason putin isn't taking over the whole of ukraine is because he needs to sell his weapons and make $.

Hell with West, we are big enough to have our own way...
No. All the successful things we done, we done together with Europe.
In the war against Napoleon we won together with other Europeans. And Alexander I show how important is the soft-power, the image. He charmed Europeans with his gentle manners... Soft-power was important even in the 19th century.

russia lost vs napoleon.
these are the facts. Yes, Russia won vs Hitler but not against Napoleon.
Napoleon's defeat was mostly due to him overrating his navy and the British navy was very good...as an island nation and the biggest empire at the time.

My point was about the other things: diplomacy and that the isolation isn't a good thing. The details of the battles aren't so important in this context.
Why cant the U.S. gov, NATO, EU see and realize and recognize simple facts on the ground in Ukraine?
.
Because it's US and UK secret services who were behind the coup in Kiev. Same as they were before that in Georgia installing a puppet president which tried to provoke a conflict with Russia.
In both cases Putin won by using Russian military power to defeat Georgian ***** soldiers and recently to take over Crimea right before western noses.
Man, Putin is good - US wanted to pull Russia into war with Ukraine, instead Putin stayed away and snapped Crimea.

And you got it. With the price of recessing to a rogue state and the economy falling like a rock. Was it really worth it?
