In a surprise twist China attacks and seizes Siberian oil fields from right out under Putin's nose (I wish).

I think the real 5D chess going on is Xi sizing the situation up, seeing how this whole thing reveals a really weak dead end Russia lashing out just for empty empire dopamine, and how it will alienate them hardcore from the rest of Europe.

And Xi sees how Russia really will firmly slide into the role of junior partner reliant on China.

Yeah, as a Marxist let me say… the Russian Revolution did in fact shake the world, and the Soviet Union represented for a couple generations, despite its hosed up totalitarian bullshit, that an alternative to capitalism might be possible.

It didn’t last for a lot of reasons. I regret it being gone not because it was a shining example of a Marxist future, but because I think a bipolar world was safer.

I also regret the loss of the few good things that it represent. Clepto-Capitalist Russia has no redeeming qualities at all, and neither does an authoritarian capitalist China with Marxist costumes… but that’s a different story altogether.

Personally, the film Goodbye Lenin! sums up my feelings about Eastern European “Communism” perfectly.

Oh, and I was born in the 1970s, so I do possesses a living memory of the world when those places existed.

Kiev falling completely does cause more issues to Russia than just yanking eastern Ukraine.
