You want sources for what? That russia is ruled by the same group of people for many years, that oligarch are in charge of the country? XD
Or do you want source that Putin was in the KGB?
Dude, you also want evidences and sources for the fact that water in a room temperature is wet?
Eventually Putin realized he would not be allowed “at the table” with US/NATO/EU.
Russia had it chance. But russia and post KGB agents decided to pump more money in oligarchs, and create authoritarian regime. This is the problem with russia.
Putin is a western puppet?
Just because soviet empire failed due to giving all the power to a small group of people, and after decades people become corrupted and ruined their own country, doesn’t mean that that only USA is bad.
Look for example what China is doing to the minorities, look what Russia did to the Chechnya, then read how many very very bad things are going on in the Africa.
USA ist just the most stable. Of course it’s imperialistic country, and they are responsible for very very bad things. USA is ruled by oligarch like Russia. The only reasons USA and west are in a way better situation, is because they were supporting human rights, they taxed oligarchs and created middle class. Right now in the USA they are backing up from that, they are replacing human rights and middle class with religion and nationalism, so they are more and more like russia. But with a better army, better budget, better intelligence, and better economy.
How this gonna end, i don’t know. Maybe revolution in the USA, that would be nice, also revolution in Russia would be nice, especially that Russia has very very big problem with oligarchs and exploitation of regular people.
But to be honest, what are the alternatives. Taiwa has the same problem as Poland, and many other countries with additional “value” like localization or natural resources.
Taiwan don’t like China, and for sure don’t want to be a part of Russian and China empire. Alternative is not very good, being part of American empire is also not that great. But people of Taiwan know that China will not threat them as good as west.
Poland at least can be a part of UE, and that helped us a loft after collapse of east block.
But this is what you’re using.
It’s easy to see that during the cold war, we had east and west empires in a cold war.
Nowadays we have more powers, like UE, USA, BRICS, Japan and so on. But situation is still the same. We have big alliances that want more (i.e. USA attack on Venezuela or Russian attack on Ukraine, and way more of this in Africa and middle east).
It’s funny how you have skipped western empires.
Yes, east europe have problem with neonazis. There are so many pictures, news and so on prepared by antifa groups and independent journalists, that’s everyone knows that.
Especially post east block countries have this problem. Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia and so on. In Poland we have some issues, but due to the fact, that so many polish citizens were killed, and death camps were build on polish ground, it’s kinda sad to be neonazi. But still, there are plenty of neonazis.

In Ukraine it’s the same story.
We can do it all day. Europe have big problem with neonazis, a lot of these groups are founded by very rich oligarch, and state, very often by other state that want’s to destabilize the country.
It has always been this way. Historically, Western and Eastern empires tended to confront one another only in distant regions, often in Africa or other far‑removed territories. Today, however, these dynamics have shifted. The West started conflict in Venezuela, and a few years earlier the East invaded Ukraine.
It seems likely that further tensions may emerge.
Can you explain?
Russia, that is a far right wing authoritarian regime, blowing up tanks used by Ukraine to defend themself from Russian invasion. What this have to do with communism?
