What will russia be like without putin?

Imagine russia without putin.

There are a lot of other people in russia.

You have heard a lot of these people talk.
People in government or parliament, or military, also some in media.

Some like medevev.

But even lavrov is very hostile now. Who you wouldn’t expect to be hostile.

Some are very hostile to european and White nations and people, not only about this war or about the previous decade or two of attempts of undermining the ruling government or undermining the behaviour of russia in the putin years.

.

There is a long russian opposition to europe, to Catholic (and protestant), non russian or non eastern orthodox Christian Church and nations.

And opposition to european national powers who had a long history of successful power in europe and in the world.

There is a grudge and hostility against fascists and national socialists, and monarchs of other nations and empires of other nations, which were competitor powers to russia in history.

.

But fascists and national socialists and monarchs and empires and other nations have the right to exist.

And russia has no right to think it has to be superior to all other powers and to be supreme and has to envy and hope for and to work to bring down other powers so that it is on top and no one can compete near in power.

And neither does the usa or others have the right to be like that

Russia or some russians are like that.

If russia had the power of a more powerful nation, like usa, or british empire, it would behave as badly or a lot like as badly as the usa behaves and as the british empire behaved. And russia did so when it did have the russian empire, and the soviet union.

And if anyone has sense and open eyes, they can see a sense and taste that russia is already behaving like this in some part now.
Especially in their excessive and unequal and supremacist demands to ukraine.

You can understand why small nations whose military are inferior to russia, would be worried, that if russia just has the will to conquer them. They would be unable to defend themselves alone. And so they have to take the threat seriously and try to support a collective balance of power against russia being built up in the area.

I read that latvia I think it was, has only a few thousand people in its military.
Put yourself in their place as a nation.

Also something like 25 percent of the people in the nation (or in one of those baltic nations) are russians (as a result of the time of soviet or russian empire conquests and domination and colonization of them.
As well as probably a bit of immigration probably with the mind of being for colonization, as with the foreign immigrants who come to europe intending to colonize and outnumber and replace us.).

.

Russia wants its national empire to be greatest and most powerful.
It wants its russian orthodox national Church to be the greatest and most powerful one, in the place of the Catholic Church which has always been the true Church Jesus founded and with Saint Peter and the papacy as the head of the Church and of all Christians and the greatest and most powerful and the universal Church in Heaven and on earth.

The russian Church is schismatic (separated) from the true Catholic Church, like many others.
But there is a tendency in some people’s attitude and a risk that it will want and seek to not merely exist as a separate Church, but to attack and usurp and replace the Catholic Church in the world, and to eliminate it.

I have seen this attitude increasing.

That would make them like the Anti Christ, attacking and seeking to usurp and replace and eliminate the true Church.

The soviet union, and french revolution, protestantism, and other anti Catholic forces, also islam, attempted to do a lot the same as that.

They attacked and tried to replace and take the place of and destroy the true Catholic Christian Church and religion.
Except they didn’t call themselves exactly that Catholic Christian identity that they were trying to replace, but still tried to take its place as the only religion of the nations and the world, and not to tolerate the existence of any opposition but especially the Catholic Church.

.

The attitude and behaviour of russia as a nation is becoming worrying now even still under putin.

What credit and trust and good image, as not supremacist or not a threat, he had built up with some people, some in only a few recent years, or some in a few more years than that.
Is beginning to be used up or spread thin, and coming to a point of a limit.
Just as it is with jewish israel but to a much more extreme degree with them.

Russia does not have impunity, or unlimited limits of behaviour without consequences or without lost trust.

The attitude of russia to european nations and people is not the same or as positive as it was a few years ago.

And listen to other russian people speak.

There are over 100 million people in russia, lots of nations and lots of states or provinces, and regional governments, lots of ideologies, lots of attitudes, lots of religions, lots of generations, lots of different groups. Lots of politicians and political views.

.

How do we know who will be the people with power in russia in the future?
And what the attitude of the government or politicians and people in power, and the nation of russia, will be in future?

And what the attitude and behaviour will be towards european nations and people, and towards Catholic Christian and other non russian orthodox Churches.

Especially as russia is now choosing to commit to a course of close connection with china and india and central asia and muslim nations, with the non european nations of eurasia.

And also with the world but especially with non european nations and especially with ones which have a grievance against european nations, and who have the grievance because they have been taught to have it (including taught it by russia), and that russia is promoting and still encouraging and teaching nations to have grievances against european nations today.

How can that russia be our friend? How can we trust that russia?

It is only likely to get worse if the next russians are in power after putin.

Thank you for reading.
