  • The world does not revolve around the US, people in the Kremlin have agency.

    I hear this kind of line so often to dismiss the influence the US has globally. It completely misses the point. The US is effectively still the most powerful country on earth, meaning they’re a major part of the broader geopolitical landscape that everybody else must respond to.

    Notice also that this “well people in the Kremlin have agency, we didn’t literally force them to invade smol ukraini” reasoning goes away when they want to talk about Chinese loans in Africa, or how Georgia’s foreign influence bill is some sort of Russian plot.
