what would a "win" for putin even look like in relation to the current status quo? crimea is administered by russia and will be basically forever, donbass is a breakaway that will never be re-integrated into the ukraine without significant difficulty coupled with years/decades of pain, and russia's international rivals care much more about access to cheap petroleum products then they do about the sovereignty of any given state in eastern europe other than a complete fantasy like capitulation and turning kiev into an autonomous oblast or something, i cant really imagine a way that the current situation could be better. international recognition for abkhazia and ossetia along with donbass? what would china and iran even ask for in this hypothetical scenario

i wasn't paying attention to politics in the 80's, but it's interesting to see how all the same 'china bad' rhetoric was used against japan from all the usual suspects (NYT, LAtimes, atlantic, etc) japan bad quote:Start at the State Department with middle-level officers who deal daily with the Japanese - and one hears language almost unheard elsewhere in that labyrinth of quiet diplomats. ''Japan,'' said one, who asked not to be identified, ''is a protectionist nation: They have no sense of moderation; they are aggressive. They are an island nation looking out on the rest of the world as plunder from a protected bastion. Negotiations are tedious, painful -oh, so painful- and, when they yield, they yield with no grace. ip theft quote:Now, belatedly awake to the recognition that Japan has been eating their breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime snack, American companies are stirring. IBM vs. Fujitsu over computer software, Honeywell vs. Minolta over automatic focusing, Corning Glass vs. Sumitomo Electric over fiber optics -- these are only the latest, best-publicized complaints that Japan has stolen American technology. Even as those legal battles are fought out, the copycat cliche is becoming obsolete. A series of studies financed by the U.S. government since 1984 warn that Japan has caught up with the U.S. or passed it in the development of integrated circuits, fiber optics, computer hardware engineering, and advanced materials like polymers. they even had their own huawei quote:The Senate, angered by disclosures that the Soviet Union had obtained technology to design and build a new group of quietly operating submarines, has included in its trade bill a provision forbidding the importation of Toshiba goods for as long as five years. House members share the Senate’s concerns, but their chamber has no pending legislation calling for Toshiba penalties. military in their waters quote:the U.S. will no longer endure Japan's economic encroachments. Japan, meanwhile, in order to ensure the influx of raw materials and to secure an export market it can dominate politically, will solidify its trading bloc in Southwest Asia and the Indian Ocean, while challenging U.S. hegemony in the Pacific Basin. EU sides with the US of course quote:British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher bluntly told Japan Wednesday to open its markets or risk international retaliation. Mrs. Thatcher said Japan's position as an economic superpower had been made possible by open world markets. But Japanese restrictions, barriers, and subsidies ``make it hard, even impossible, for some imports to enter Japanese markets,'' she said. debt traps! unfair trade practices! quote:That conflict arises from Japan's inability or unwillingness to restrain the one-sided and destructive expansion of its economic power. The expansion is one-sided because Japanese business does to other countries what Japan will not permit to be done to itself. i'm not racist but they just think differently quote:The deeper concept here is the weakness of universal principles in Japan—of ideas that make the Japanese feel that their lives run according to axioms similar to those of any human beings' lives around the world. The differing ideas about the basis of moral behavior are probably the most fundamental contrast between Japan and the West. the inscrutable machinations of the orientals quote:“Japan is another universe, which wants to conquer,” Prime Minister Edith Cresson said recently. “That’s the way they are.” The Japanese market is “hermetically sealed,” and the Japanese stay up nights trying to think of ways “to screw the West,” she said. According to reports in the Japanese media, she has described the Japanese as “yellow dwarfs.” trade war! US getting the WTO involved! quote:President Clinton, following through on his threat to retaliate against Japan’s trade policies, has decided to redeploy an old weapon that would allow the Administration to raise tariffs on Japanese goods sold in the United States, Administration and congressional sources said Tuesday. not sure if i posted the princes of yen documentary from the doomsday economics thread, but it really paints a picture of post-war japan as a top-down command economy masquerading as a free market that got absolutely owned once they actually opened up. the documentary blames younger japanese generation that absorbed the neoliberal ideology when they were sent abroad to be educated, which caused them to deliberately create economic havoc so they could restructure their economic system (make the central bank independent), but some of those articles (especially the "containing japan" article ), really gives me the impression that they were getting a lot of external pressure. the end of the documentary briefly mentions other countries getting destroyed by the IMF/EU equivalent in a similar way (thailand, korea, singapore and now greece, spain, etc). haven't found anything that's analgous to uyghur stuff tho.... unless..........

yeah i just finished rereading it, it rocks how the main bad guy is motivated by his parents dying on saipan, and the bad japanese prime minister just coincidentally likes to gently caress blonde white women. the sequel is really good too, with ayatollah assahola releasing airborne ebola into the US... and president jack ryan doing turbo lockdowns that everyone miraculously pays attention to and obeys, hahahaha. there's even near-universal masking! gonna be starting the one where russia joins nato after being invaded by china in the next few weeks, very excited to revisit a true classic

The Jack Ryan universe has what in real life would be a nuclear triggering incident every two years. It's a wonder how anyone in that world isn't a completely neurotic wreck all the time. Like, posters on this forum think World War 3 is gonna happen every time Syria shoots down a Turkish fighter plane.

I hope one day america collapses so I can get in on one of these rackets. "Wow I can't believe it President Armenkatil Bey, what I am seeing in these CHP and HDP neighborhoods is just like what I saw in America when I was a child! Hatred of your own countries history, and conspiring with traitorous foreign elements. I worry for the future of the Neo-Ottoman Empire!"

Speaking of Hollywood pivoted from racist stereotype movie about Japan to harmless oritentalism movies about Samurai and race cars. If China's movie market wasn't so big Hollywood would be making racist movies about China right now.
