Colonialism is more than just taking over territory, it involves setting up colonial governments and running the economy based on strategic gain or resource extraction for the parent country.
I think even if someone were to be generous and agreed with your view of current events, it would be considered annexation rather than colonization. It’s an important delineation as colonization requires a conquest in the aims of material extraction without benefit to the native populace.
They are sure trying to re colonize all the old soviet countries though. Give them credit for that at least!
Not really, there’s a major schism due to western plundering of the former Soviet countries and installation of compradors.
Or, in reality, russia is trying to re colonialize these countries. Frame it how you will
Nah, they aren’t attempting to set up colonies.
Just anex? But I was sure colonialism was more than just taking over territory based on all the othet times I’ve spoken to .ml lol
