The Russians fell into authoritarism because the union fell, and with it, the last vestiges of consultative process that the Russian people had with their politicians.
America demanded that Russians must adopt the full western political system and elite dominate politics. The modern Russia is no longer loyal to USA, but the Russian elites find the authoritarism useful, so they have kept that aspect of western thinking. Nowadays, Russians have no more say in government affairs than the average Polish, Greek or German citizen have in EU affairs.
Among the people I know, they openly despise the stupidity of neocon.
They are already too deep into the Cold War era experience，the only possibility in their minds is "collapse".
This is not a normal way of looking at problems at all, but rather a religious thinking.
Look what the article says?
This makes me think that they are more like a group of angry missionaries who choose to call crusaders to fight against the "irretrievable" infidels after encountering setbacks.

They're so desperate at reliving their heydays that they keep seeing Soviet Unions everywhere: China is Soviet Union, Russia is Soviet Union, everyone is Soviet Union!
Like what chinese netizens have begun saying in recent years, the US loved and loves the Qing empire so much, that they have chosen to become like it! (note: especially widespread and videos about current US drug problems lmao)
Must be their desire to live the American dream, in their minds, just like how Zelensky and the Ukraines have take back Crimea, in their minds. I wonder if the fentanyl has finally gotten to them. Has anyone got a serious sense of foreboding lately, like a sneaking feeling that some big is going to happen to shake the world in a way it hasn’t been shaken before.
Also Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year

Ha, that's the think tank hired the lardass Mike Pompeo, after China sanction his ass so hard, even McDonald wouldn't hire him. That should tell you how far-right out of reality this Hudson thing is.
The US instigating instability and conflict among its competitors, with the ultimate goal of divide and rule, is a given. This is how the game is played and what the British Empire was famous for - the US being the flag carrier for that empire and being far more powerful, internally, due to the land it stole from Native Americans.
The better question is, what are the target countries going to do about it? Putin's move was almost certainly the wrong one, and demonstrated an acute misunderstanding of facts on the ground, where he presumed that Ukraine could be taken / decapitated in two weeks, yet the war has now been going on for a year, with no signs of stopping. If the ultimate result is Russian defeat, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Russia would be at the mercy of NATO and that the blame would mostly be its own for not being able to correctly play the game.
The same situation faces China. If China cannot address its internal and external challenges, then any collapse - instigated by the West and its allies, or not - will still be its own fault. This is because we should expect foreign powers to be hostile. The world isn't "nice," despite liberal propaganda, and it's never been particularly "moral." So relying on it to be has always been a naive, irresponsible move - more fit for student protestors in Hong Kong, than for professional states men.
The price of defeat has always been high, so why are you surprised that the West wants to break up Russia? That's what they should want. Because Russia is a geopolitical obstacle and given the opportunity, you remove your obstacles. Same with China, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, etc. The West did not become supreme by being nice to other countries.
So rather than assume that other countries are friendly, and then be surprised when they aren't, we should assume that they are hostile, and that any weakness shown will be exploited to its maximum. When you play the game of geopolitics, you either win and do as you please, or you lose and suffer as you must. If China wants to avoid the latter, then it better be ready to wage an "all of society" war against the West, and win. Nothing less will do.
"Putin’s replacement will not be Thomas Jefferson. In the immediate aftermath of President Putin’s regime, whoever replaces him will be just as nationalistic and authoritarian. Western policymakers should stop hoping for a “moderate” Russian leader who wants peace with his neighbors and reforms at home. "
I pray Putin's replacement is not another American slaver like Thomas Jefferson who raped his 15 year-old black slave repeatedly and forced her to bear 5 of his children during her entire miserable life. The world must unite against American hegemony, no matter the costs.
