This video will help people who have a difficult time thinking and reasoning logically things that oga Putin told them about his Agenda. It will aid hypocrites who defend Russia arming militants in Ukraine but complain if the west does the same in another place to look beyond blind following of a Russian crook who simply is doing what he wants to while leaving his silly trolls to do the rest.

You refer to the West as if Russia is not part of it. Until we define the term ''west'' properly in diplomacy we tend to confuse ourselves in situation like this.

We all know Putin is behind all these and his vastness in global politics with his choice of words makes us believe Russia is not part of the Western world.

vedaxcool:


Indeed the term west atimes ambiguous but to my understanding Russia is not part of the west or if i may ask why do you regard Regard Russia as being west.

medoyin:


To my understanding, the term west varies. It depends on the context we are making reference to. There is no agreed definition of the term ''west'' even in global politics.

For example, African leaders refer to the west to include Europe and United States because of their powers and stable economy which they use to influence their national interest whereas European leaders will term western states to be the super powers.

In the present world politics, there is no context you use West that Russia does not fit in except, you now separate eastern and western europe.

vedaxcool:

Agreed on the first point but you should know that the term west is also an ideology which is not restricted to geographical location. Russia might not fit in because it does not readily accepts that ideology now geopolitics of the west.

medoyin:


Russia' s relevance in world politics cannot be under estimated. Yes, the term west is not restricted to any geopolitical location, Russia inclusive. Its ideology is accepted, she supports Assad which we know so, West should be properly defined and Russia must accept she's part of it..

You are making sense.. Some in Europe will even define Europe and tell you Russia is not in Europe. What they are telling you in context is that Europe is better than Russia and life is generally better in EU.

The opposite is the case. After I have lived in both Europe (Nederlands,Poland, Germany) and Russia lol There is obviously no big difference. Russia is even sweeter to live and relax when you have money.( As a worker in Russia, you need to be very talented and very good at what you do to get a good Job) Everything in Europe, name it, is in Russia. After visiting st.petersburg the old city is like carbon copy of everywhere I have been to in Nederlands.. (Amsterdam, Den Haag, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, the whole of Nord Holand...Alkmaar)

No it shouldn't be, I guess I will need to do more research on term west but the traditional meaning tend not to include Russia because its viewes are diametrically opposses to the west. We should note even a Nigerian can be considered a westerner ases on his acceptance of such ideology of the west. Butthere is need to look into the term and its meanings much closely.

ValerianSteel:
The term West has evolved over the decades,it's become a political ideology used to identify Capitalist First World countries,emerging European powers,and key regional powers in Asia as well that are said to operate a democratic system,having a good standard of living,with freedom constitutionally guaranteed for all citizens.

Russia doesn't fit into this political definition of the term West.It is relegated to the East as termed by the West who pride themselves as a beacon of democracy and human freedom.The East is identified as socialist or communist countries with semi-democracy,autocracy or totalitarianism,without constitutionally guaranteed freedom for its citizens,the standard of living in these countries are lower compared to the West.

The West is considered to be liberal and politically progressive than the East.

Russia is more than first world country by any definition. For someone that has lived in both Russia and NATO colonial states or vassal states. And it's pure propaganda to thinking Eastern states are communist. They have a mixture of all the systems. It has always been like that even during the soviet days. The oligarchs back then were always under full control on like now that the arrogant west use them for mainly geo-political purposes.

The West obviously is losing credibility and it's not all that credible but losing the information war. Now that word totalitarianism best defined the west via it's uni-polar world. If not why not allow a Multi-polar world ?

Again constitutionally guaranteed freedom. Also defines the same arrogant west that has the gods to even check your mails for you. You don't have freedom and privacy. You never had, just that it was being hidden but now open to the everyone. The west in any case is losing the battle.


You need to move out, live in Eastern state and Russia to know more.
