It isn't really materialist to think that "we" as individuals living in the imperial core will benefit from the global periphery setting its own priorities.

...do you accept Twitter posts? Not sure what the citation rules here are and if they follow the same rules as not being encouraged to admit that hamas guy died until hamas fid a press release. Should I wait until Cuba officially criticizes Beijing?

It's just a name, you know what I mean. Basically there is no reason for Gaugazia and Transnistria to not form a confederation and annex a bit of Ukrainian territory if Russia achieves a bigger victory.
To be fair the next step after internal consumption is building markets in central Asia to find a sweet spot for a bunch of things, and to do that they need to let Russia lose its grip on places like Kazakhstan.
Seriously though, what about Gaugazia? It made a deal to stay in Moldova that Moldova is currently breaking, expect them to be treated like Serbs in Kosovo if Moldova ever joins the EU/Romania. (Joining Romania instantly gets them into NATO I think)
