>When the Western talk about China and Russia, the unspoken objectives are to split the countries in smaller, weaker and easier to control "democratic" governments.

I never heard about China to be split. For Ruzzia it makes sense, it is an empire hold together with force, if the Kremlin would not want to conquer even more lands and control other countries there would be no actual real negative sentiment against the empire, sure soem activists would try to helpo the subjugated nations but nobody would invest money into the movement, the Kremlin regume could have made that empire an economic power, to bad the dictator is a KGB criminal and not an economist.

What are you talking about here, west of afraid of Russia separation into smaller unstable parts. Systematically.

That Russia is dictatorship and threat to democracies, that Rissua is committing genocide and trying to steal land is other topic.
