Western countries are practicing scenarios for a naval blockade and seizure of the Kaliningrad region during exercises of the Joint Expeditionary Force, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said in an interview with Sputnik.
But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic.
I can see the argument for Russia to an extent, but how is China imperialistic? From what I understand they’ve helped lift up nations in the global south (and not in a “do this or else we will overthrow your government” kind of way). I don’t think they’ve invaded another country for quite some time either.
I guess some people see nations as rational actors acting in their own interest, if that’s your world view and large nation has the potential to exert its influence over other nations. Or that’s what I gather they mean when some people use the word imperialist.
