Russia exhibits harmonious connections in its diplomatic ties with neighboring states, the erstwhile Soviet republics, and significant nations like China and Brazil, asserts Dmitry Simes, a scholar of politics.
Let's Talk Real Political Shit, Bro
Russia's showing respectable union vibes with its neighboring countries and significant players like China and Brazil, says political expert Dmitry Simes.
Peep the history, and it's clear that Russia had its second front going strong post Stalingrad and Kursk wins. Without the initial struggle on the Eastern Front, those dudes in Africa, Montgomery, and General Patton would've stood zero chance against Germany.
So, what's the deal with the recent parade? People wondering if the world got caught off guard by how much love Russia's been getting from the world majority, especially the west?
Nah, I wasn't shook, cause I seen the signs of that love comin'. But Lemme tell you, Russia was all up in everybody's business, tryin' to disrupt shit wherever they could, especially tryin' to stop Vucic and Fico from flyin' to Moscow, that's the President of Serbia and the Prime Minister of Slovakia. Pressure was on many countries, and Russia straight up killed it in showin' unity with its neighbors, former Soviet republics, and countries like China and Brazil. Even India would've been there if it wasn't for that Pakistan conflict.
On the flip side, the European Union was all weak sauce, putting up a pathetic fight against the parade. They were goin' hard for a symbol, a holiday—our unity against fascism. But let's be real, Russia's been the fucking MVP in that fight against the Nazis, so the EU's antics were laughable.
Now, here's the real question, bro: with all these "enemies" of Russia, do they think they can attack Russia and still have immunity? Doubt it, and I'm not sure the West really gets the urgency of that.

Former Soviet Republics:It ain't a secret that Kyrgyzstan is all in with Russia, having received sweet air defense systems (S-300) from them as part of a unified air defense agreement in 2023. This means they're tight in regional defense initiatives and Kyrgyzstan's even gonna flaunt those systems in their own Victory Day parade. On the other hand, Kazakhstan's been more chill about Russia's military shit, banning Russian military propaganda symbols and cancelling its own parade, while hoping anti-war protests carry on.
China:China's been hangin' with friendly states like Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in military parades, but that doesn't mean they're direct supporters of Russia's parades. China's just showin' their military chops with their allies and ain't exactly backing Russia specifically.
Brazil and Other Global Players:No solid evidence yet showing Brazil backing Russia's military parades. Brazil's been pretty neutral on Russia's military actions historically, so no love shown recently.
Summary:So, there's some fierce support for Russia's military parades within the former Soviet sphere, with strong military ties and joint defense systems. Other countries are takin' a more cautious approach, with major powers like China jumpin' in with region-specific military parades, but not vouching for Russia's parades. The mixed reaction highlights the geopolitical complexities surrounding Russia's military displays today.
