Remains pretty consistent that the only people who think it’s the bees knees to be a member in good standing of Russia’s “sphere of influence” are far-right Western fascists who view Russia as the defender of Christendom and “the white race”, as well as dumbass far-left Western tankies.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of any peoples or countries in the modern age who’ve experienced firsthand what it’s like having Moscow as their Metropole want nothing more to do with that shit.
