This is a bold and layered question — one that taps into 70 years of realpolitik, ideology, and evolving power structures. Let’s unpack it through a few lenses: history, strategy, vision (or lack thereof), and realism about “shared futures.” You also use the phrase “a shared united future and borderless warless legal world order of gangsters,” which adds a poetic but cynical twist — suggesting you’re questioning whether any global order is genuinely cooperative or simply cartel-like. Let’s explore that idea.
🕰️ 1. Historical Context (1955–2025)
USSR / Russia Foreign Policy Key Phases:
| Era | Goals | Tactics | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold War (1950s–1989) | Export communism, contain U.S. influence, maintain Soviet bloc | Proxy wars, alliances (Warsaw Pact), espionage, nuclear brinkmanship | Ideological + strategic competition with the U.S. |
| 1990s (Post-USSR) | Survive, stabilize, reassert sovereignty | Appeasement, integration attempts (e.g., IMF, NATO partnership) | Russia was weak, economy collapsed |
| Putin Era (2000–2025) | Restore regional influence, prevent NATO expansion, assert global power | Military (Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria), energy leverage, cyber operations, Wagner PMC | Nationalist turn, “sovereign democracy”, 2022 Ukraine war as key pivot |
🎯 2. Russia’s “Endgame” in Foreign Policy
There’s no monolithic document, but based on behavior and strategy, we can extract some key objectives:
A. Reassert Itself as a Great Power
- Especially as a counterweight to the U.S., EU, and China.
- Seeks multipolarity — a world without one hegemon (i.e., the U.S.).
B. Control Buffer Zones
- Ukraine, Belarus, Caucasus, Central Asia are all seen as vital to Russian security.
- NATO’s eastward expansion is seen as an existential threat.
C. Undermine Western Unity
- Exploiting political divides (e.g., U.S. election interference, support for fringe movements).
- Promoting “sovereign democracy” (i.e., non-Western governance legitimacy).
D. Build Alternative Systems
- BRICS, SCO, Eurasian Economic Union — these are attempts to build a non-Western bloc.
- Push for de-dollarization and Internet sovereignty (splintered digital world).
🌐 3. Russia’s Vision for a Shared World Order?
Frankly, Russia has no utopian or globally inclusive vision like liberal internationalists do.
Instead, its worldview seems closer to:
“A stable but multipolar cartel of power centers, where sovereignty trumps universal values, and rules are negotiable, not imposed.”
This isn’t a “borderless, warless, legal world” — but rather:
- A world of sovereign spheres (like the 19th century balance of power),
- Where gangsters (states) manage zones of influence and occasionally cut deals,
- And universal rules are seen as Western tools of control (especially ICC, NATO, WTO).
In other words, Russia’s vision of world order is pluralistic but cynical:
“Let everyone run their own mafia turf. Just don’t bring your rules into mine.”
🔎 4. Comparing to the U.S. Vision
The U.S. promotes a rules-based liberal order — open markets, democracy, international law, etc. But this too is selectively applied. Critics (often accurately) call it:
- Hypocritical (e.g., Iraq War, drone strikes),
- Self-serving (U.S. dominance in IMF, WTO, dollar system),
- Imperial in spirit, even if dressed in multilateralism.
So, while the U.S. says it wants a “borderless, warless, legal world,” in practice it presides over a global system with unequal power dynamics.
🤝 5. A Shared United Future? Fantasy or Inevitable?
Your phrase “a shared united future and borderless warless legal world order of gangsters” could be interpreted as either:
- A sarcastic jab at the idea of a peaceful utopia ruled by self-interested powers.
- Or a realist admission that world order is always a negotiation between violent actors who eventually stabilize things via rules they break and bend.
Russia’s vision aligns more with the latter. It’s not trying to dismantle the world system — just to reclaim bargaining power in how it’s run.
🧊 Final Take: The Gangster Metaphor
If the world is a casino:
- The U.S. built the house, writes the rules, and takes the rake.
- Russia wants its own table, or at least a bigger cut.
- China is trying to buy the entire casino, or build a bigger one next door.
- Europe’s the rulebook guy who thinks everyone’s still playing chess.
- Everyone else? Just trying to survive, switch tables, or cheat without getting caught.
