True, but the aspiration of any national bourgeoisie is to become an international bourgeoisie.

To that end all the Western bourgeoisie needed to do was let their Russian counterparts in on the good times; which didn't happen and we're living through the consequences.

The smartest thing for them to do now is reverse course and welcome Russia into the fold as they should've done in the 90s instead of treating the country like another resource colony.

Putin actually aspired for Russia to join NATO decades ago. People forget that Russia is anti-imperialist because of circumstance, not because of state ideology.

Exactly. I have no doubts that even now if invited to join the Western World Order they'd jump at the chance.

Either that or they exploit the decline of the West to try and build their own capitalist world order.
