This doesn’t make any sense to me. I know they aren’t Marxists, but the goals of communism are people-centric. We’re trying to achieve a better society for all people, so why exclude certain groups from that?

    I see your point and accept the way you rationalize it, don’t agree on the prediction in terms of Russian defeat though, a weakened Russia would just as likely or more come into the fold of china which I believe you would be quite happy with

      I’m not really sure what would be preferable, as far as a more independent from China yet stronger Russia, or a weaker Russia more dependent on China, I would need a more educated person to chime in… Not really sure the likelihood of US friendly coup vs weaker China friendly Russia.

      However, I do think it wouldn’t be worth the risk of nuclear holocaust. I would really rather not test whether or not they’re being serious about using nukes

        I can see how the risk of nuclear weapons being used might shift ones perspective on would be a preferably outcome, personally I don’t want my opinions held hostage by the possibility nuclear war

          at a certain point, it’s not desire, you know? I have to analyze reality as I see it in front of me. I don’t trust the oligarchs of Russia, like Putin, to show nearly as much restraint as the USSR did when it comes to using nukes
