【The Mentality of the State: Talk about the "Russian Dilemma"】
@Shenzhen Ningnanshan: Some ideas, not necessarily right, for reference only.
"Russian dilemma" is a word that I came up with, not necessarily accurate, it refers to the Russian people have a dream of a rich and powerful country, the current level of development in Russia, the living standards of the people are far lower than in the West, must be developed, but as Slavs are not recognized by Western countries in terms of race, they are the object of suppression.
But Russia's mere 144 million people, in the face of the Population of eight or nine billion people in the West, whether in the economic, military or technological aspects, there is little hope of victory, suppressed by the West, sanctions and blockade means that there is neither access to advanced technology, nor to a huge market, nor to industrial transfer.
If Russia invests in whatever technology and industry on its own, it will face higher costs, a longer cycle, and because the Russian market accounts for less than 2% of the world, and the benefits are smaller, Russia cannot develop in this case, which is the dilemma facing Russia, which wants to develop under the premise of maintaining its independent status as a great power, but it is not accepted by the West for ethnic reasons, and the West has no hope of winning due to the huge gap in population size.
