Speaking as a Latin American, Russia is just another banana republic with 100 million people and nukes.

> simply another form of racism.

That's just plain stupid. I fear their authoritarian and murder leader, I don't fear their people.

I don't think it's racist to be worried about a nuclear power colonizing its neighbors.

Superpower logic is far too cold for terms like colonizing. There is very little focus on such ideological by-products of power when the General Staff makes its considerations and recommendations for the security of the state. If you think in terms like these, from some liberal shitlib university, against military superpowers who can guarantee MAD with nuclear weapons you are not going to make heads or tails any of it.

It is best to purify your mind and just read Thomas Schelling.

I‘m a Russian language learner for many years. When you listen to Putin what he tells his Babushkas, you now you cannot trust him one word. BTW, I recommend to listen to him as a learner: He speaks slowly, very articulate with clear pronunciation, so he can tell Babushkas that foreign power are threatening Russia.
