I think the result of Ukraine has made then desperate to make moves before the imperial siphons are all stripped from them. If they don't make major moves over the next 5-10 years the collapse will be dizzingly fast IMO...they lose power to make moves every passing day...
They could have worked to reorient their economy to one that doesn't rely on exploitation but Europe only knows one way after 5 centuries so this makes sense.
That's just how any advanced capitalist economy works
I completely agree.
