All other factors like Ukrainian independence, democracy, Putin's regime, 'values' are just a scam.
100%Do you think Putin supports jews
You say this like the NATO empire being the only one is a good thing. Haven't any of you learned that healthy competition is good and that monopolies are generally a bad thing for everyone else? That includes empires having a monopoly on the world.As if russia being empire is a good thing. I remember hearing this quote when i was younger, and i was like "NOOOOO RUSSIA CAN'T BE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY!!! WE'RE GREAT AND PROUD!!! WE MUST BE EMPIRE!!! RUSSIA WILL NEVER SURRENDER SBIGNIEV YOU SICK FUCK!!!"
I literally took it as if he meant russia shouldn't exist at all lol.
This is the true reason why putin tried to undermine the ukrainian state and invaded ukraine in the end. Because he knew this as well, and saw his window of opportunity closing. If left unattended, ukraine would join european concert of nations and separate itself from russia. And would set an example for russians, that a post soviet slavic country can make do just fine without dictatorship, it can be democratic, can be allies with the west etc.

Easy for you to say that, you can just sit back and zoobserve from a distance. But empire is and always was harmful for russians. This competition takes place at a great expense of russians, just like the competition between the USSR and the west. Where westerners won social benefits because their elites were scared of communist indoctrination of their people (if you believe that was the case, because I'm not sure).You say this like the NATO empire being the only one is a good thing.

Allies with West means vassals of the West. In the EE, life quality is still significantly worse than in the Western Europe and it will never improve because West don't need competition in industry and agriculture.As if russia being empire is a good thing.

That's probably how russians reason too, they project their mentality onto others.Allies with West means vassals of the West.
If you say that. Nobody wants competition of course. Doesn't mean russia can't compete and be one with the west. That's just russophobic self-fulfilling bullshit.In the EE, life quality is still significantly worse than in the Western Europe and it will never improve because West don't need competition in industry and agriculture.
You talk about pensions. Maybe it's better to compare prices for electricity or natural gas?That's probably how russians reason too, they project their mentality onto others.

And almost every fucking european country is better off than russia in terms of living standards. Also why russians from baltic states still prefer to remain in russophobic latvia or some shit instead of going back to Russia that of course will take care of them (spoiler - no it won't). Because no amount of displayed "patriotism" will change the fact that this "russophobic" government still pays their pensions which are significanly bigger than those in russia.
it still will be unfair without taking into account pretty much everything, along with taxes (which in russia are among the highest), other social benefits (sad story in russia), and the strength of russian passport (better off wiping your ass with this paper).You talk about pensions.

Taxes are highest in Scandinavia. Also Russia has other benefits. Like if you failed to find a job in Rostov, you can went to Moscow. If you fail in Moscow, you can went to Nizhny Novgorod and then to Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk etc. It's a huge social mobility.it still will be unfair without taking into account pretty much everything, along with taxes (which in russia are among the highest), other social benefits (sad story in russia), and the strength of russian passport (better off wiping your ass with this paper).
