How shall we understand "the pressures and overtures of the west/us had pushed the Russian state to its breaking point" claim then?

Not only is this wildly inaccurate — are we really to believe this neo liberal, white supremacist behemoth was teetering on the edge of collapse, any more so than it was in 1917 or 1991, & that invading a neighboring state would somehow save it from certain death? — for those who believe in anti state politics, it should be a GOOD thing. Only from the perspective of the Russian government & its patrons does this make any sense. That's why you got called Volodymyr by another user in this discussion.
