  • The Soviet Union’s dissolution to pursue ‘peace’ resulted in a 45% decline in gross domestic product (GDP) between 1989 and 1998, caused by the looting of public wealth by corrupt individuals under the West’s tutelage. Washington and London jostled for Russia’s resources, sponsored plunder, and launched successive NATO expansions towards Russia. The West-leaning regime that arose in Russia engineered and abetted social collapse, with life expectancy declining from 64 to 58 years. Also, mortality soared, for instance, from 1.5 million in 1987 to 2.3 million in 1994, in Russia, due to failed healthcare and socio-economic challenges leading people to alcoholism and drug use. Up to 3 million Russians died between 1992 and 2001 in excess compared to the mortality rate in 1991, while a regime pliable to the West promoted narratives of how the population was becoming democratic. Militarily preventing such an outcome is justifiable.
