    Sberbank doing to well is a testment to the successful transition towards capitalism made by the Russian government.

    It's interesting to imagine that communism would be even more discredited ITTL due to this. The USSR not only fell after rooting itself from within, but the capitalistic Russian Federation and the Union State have florished enormously from the carcass and conquered its place under the sun among the worldwide capitalist order.

    Author already said the West won't sanction us for annexation.

    Our situation may even become better as the US start to see us as a third wheel in the Cold War which needs to be courted.

    That depends on weather we take the deal with the USA, or not and we still don't know the contents of said deal.

    It could be that USA will just close its eye for some reason and believe us on our word. Or it can be that USA will seek concrete moves from us to prove that we will hold our word.

    Falling in line on Iran, Venezuela, BRICS and SCO may all be a demands from the West to accept us annexing Ukraine as it's really unlikely that we will just be able to say to America that we will be neutral and then continue to back it's enemies. Also neutrality is pretty vague word that can basically be translated into we let you take Ukraine and you are free to do whatever you want. Basically being neutral in a cold war in China isn't really a clear deal as it doesn't define what that neutrality entails.

    It's more likely that USA will ask for concrete geopolitical concessions.

    Us being third wheel in Cold War also means that we are the player in the conflict and that we shouldn't expect any freebies.

    Falling in line in Venezuela is a very reasonable demand. If we don't want the US messing around our backyard, then we might as well don't mess around his. We only just engaged with Venezuela to spite the United States as a revenge for their tentacles around Eastern Europe, if we get such a big concession as gobbling Ukraine whole, then we need to give the US something in return.

    Iran is a more complicated matter. It's our neighbour, there's no scenario where we would cease weapons sales and commercial cooperation with Tehran as our god given right, but we could do much to address Washington's and Tel Aviv's concerns in relation to our nuclear cooperation with the Iranians.

    Question to you dear readers - do you agree for a revote on Ukraine, as I have second thoughts on it and decided to make later much more expanded options. I don't do this because I dont like option with most votes, but feel that I shouldn't locked the options. If you don't agree, then original vote remains valid.

    A) Yes, agree for revote with expanded option
    B) Dont agree for it.

    Not only do we need expanded options, but this vote should be held after 2 or 3 updates, depending on the situation.
    This way, we have more knowledge about the impact of all these crises between the Union State and the West. We also have a better understanding of the coming financial crisis and how it impacts our relations with Ukraine.
    But one thing is understood: in the coming 2–3 years, we must do everything to woo Ukrainians and discredit the West. It may include increased military orders, helping them develop their own tanks, revitalising their economy in the middle of a financial crisis, general PR campaigns, or anything else that helps us during the time of the reverse euro. Even if we have some disagreements, we can bend a little bit for Ukrainians because we need to hook this big fish.
