    OK, so even from an internal perspective Putin's actions seem surprising and strategically counterproductive. That can mean one of two things: There are hidden motivations we don't understand, or he's less intelligent than assumed.

    I wonder after Suslov's performance on British TV today excusing the murder of children in Ukraine whether the LSE might think twice before inviting him back. Whatever happened to "Russia will not invade Ukraine because of the severity of the sanctions that would follow", Comrade Suslov?

    Dear Dmitry, and Christopher,
    Thanks for a surprisingly honest and factual representation of Russia’s strategic position.
    This lecture is a rare phenomenon in a biased, and fantasy ridden atmosphere generally found in most western media, think tanks, and discussions.
    However, I do have a question: Given the recent demands submitted to US and NATO by Russia, along with an insistence for quick resolution of listed concerns, has it run out of “strategic patience”?
    If so, then how does this change your analysis as presented in this lecture?

    I wouldn't agree with the professor, Dmitry Suslov, about the Russian economy: purchasing power parity is relevant to the domestic consumption of domestic goods, but nominal values are more important for global trade, and this is where Russia is lagging far more. In nominal values, the Russian economy is equal to the economy of Spain. Why is this important? Because Russia is still dependent on buying machinery and engineering vehicles, for example. This could be one of the reasons why the Russian economy is sluggish in many areas, though, I agree that the Western sanctions improved some things, like the increasing reliance on domestic agricultural goods.

      But it depends on the currency. Russia doesn't have a lot of imports from the United States so ruble to dollar doesn't matter. As for exports a weaker ruble makes Russian goods cheaper and more attractive. But none of this matters because I don't you're an expert on economics. You're just trying to salvage your justification for underestimating Russia.

      @@KingofEuropa07 You put on display the lack of basic understanding of global trade and an assumption to discredit me instead of trying to further strengthen your arguments. The dollar is not some African currency or even the Chinese. Everyone trade with dollars (it's the main currency of global trade), not just the US. Anyway, PPP the professor is talking about is presented in dollars too. Now go and learn some basics, and try your luck again, but with someone else.

    NATO must expand! After Ukraine, NATO will liberate Belarus.

    I think that talking about historical legacy, civilisations and their geopolitical outreach important aspects has been missed both in terms of questions as in terms of answers and comments given by Professor Dmitry Suslov; allow me to mention only one of them which shows that talking about superpowers or state power per se cannot ignore the domestic governance structure and political traditions of each one. USA is a western (presidential) democracy with strong federal traditions, China is a one-party communist system and (a rhetorical question:) Russia is what exactly? leaving the question intentionaly open in this comment, allow me - despite the more or less "sans souci" style presentation by the esteemed Professor Dmitry Suslov of a not so attractive any more/declining Europe (West) in contradiction to a robust militarily, not so developed-yet representing real (old) Europe!!? global power Russia - to point out that since the 19th century till today Russia/USSSR has been collapsing/defeated/stagnating mainly due to its domestic vulnerabilities and not due to foreign aggression per se.

      To be more accurate, the USA is properly a decentralized Federal Republic, with an elective executive plutocracy/oligarchy, while China is a centralized, Unitary Republic, with an appointive executive meritocracy. The USA may label itself a democracy, but the reality is debatable. China is not a communist country (yet) but a socialist country. The USA is a laissez-faire, capitalist market economy while China is a state-controlled market economy. The USA is a duopolistic party system, while China is a monopolistic party system.

    It aged well (not!)
    ... very interesting when seeing Russia invading Ukraine (expecting much weaker response of both the world and Ukraine)
    ... miscalculation

    • @petrskupa6292
      @petrskupa6292 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      btw, the guy, Syslov - when talking about West, he always talks like : USA will not be able to contain both China and Russia simultaneously (probably true), USA this and USA that... he completely omits all other western countries (the same way Putin did omitted them in his negotiations about Ukraine).
      Sorry, USA is not alone.
      West if counted together represent about one billion people.
      And this time, Putin managed unthinkable - to unite West countries (and Japan, Korea and incredible number of wider world) against him.
      Actually India - part of the BRICs is shaken from its independence and considere how to position itself in face of unacceptable Russian choice.
      What miscalculation!

    Russian national strategy is very smart because of the team of Putin. But Russian cannot develop globally in industry as USA and China because of some limitation like the population.
