(good read)

My position is that the world needs an economically and militarily strong Russia. And since I love Russians so much I want them to prosper. Like I want nearly all people to prosper.

The problem is, that until Russians do what the Ukrainian’s have done, and kick out the corruption with acts of violence, that Russia remains a net exporter of poverty and corruption, and has nothing to offer the world whatsoever except increases in poverty and corruption.

A Russia that aggressively suppresses corruption would be a positive influence in the east. An expansionist Russia, as a net exporter of poverty and corruption is yet another evil empire that must be contained, and conquered if necessary.
