Have you read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I mean Sherlock Holmes.
I become fan of these books unfortunately after phenomenal Russian series (unfortunately, because Vasily Livanov, who played Holmes, in last years become involved in Russian politics, and was supporter of Putin course, even when all respectable intelligent people began to criticize).
So, Sir Arthur, said by mouth of his heroes - if you see something, which could not explain by common sense, that is - you just have opportunity, to see another or NEW reality.
In this new reality, Russia is small country, which have not enough resources to compete with big players, but Russia have huge ambitions.
So what it have to do? - It switches to espionage, to propaganda, to support terrorists.
What it got with such activities? - It make active interference for Western policies, and like child, happy that so small, but have success breaking activities of adults.
Sure, my version is not accurate, but reality is cruel - just cup days after US left Afghanistan, Russian authorities said on official channels, that they will try to find common language to speak with Taliban leaders.
You may ask, where is China in this equation?
Ok, are you really sure, that Russian have not speak about this with Chinese authorities before such statement?
- Look on map, where is China, where is Afghanistan.
- Look in wikipedia, compare sizes of economy and military of Russia and China.
- Look for Russia-China economy relations in news, look who pay and how much.
Are you still sure, Russia could make independent from China statements in such circumstances?
