When it comes to what this crank is proposing for the world problems, The cure is far worse than the disease, he accuses the west of creating for some of the world's problems, and that's true to an extent. But what he proposes is pretty much the stuff he accuses the West of doing, but on a fat greater scale and even more destructive. What's even more terrifying is that this person isn't just some crank posting anonymously on Reddit, he is a high ranking official in the Russian government. Putin and others may believe this nonsense, but what this guy is proposing is very much adjacent to what Putin's rhetoric has been saying, it is very indicative of the type of thinking that's going on within the Russian elite.

Of course, there are strong deterrants to doing so (like skyrocketing western pressure which is likely to be flanked by pressure from China as well, because who likes a country that declares offensive use of nuclear weapons as justified?), but it is not cast in stone.

      Russia's elite, and the rest of the population in general, have a sort of "bunker mentality" combined with the idea that their hardships have made them tougher and stronger. Combined with their disregard for life (which everyone else knows too) gives them the assumption that they can bluff their way out of problems. They do this under the assumption that the West, who value peace and the lives and wellbeing of their citizens, would rather just let Russia have what it wants instead of risking a war.

Like helping/encouraging Mexico to develop nukes so America is focused on its border rather than on Russia. Why would Mexico ever even want to do that? What benefit does this give to Mexico? He offers no reason as to why the vast majority of the Global South would ever want to antagonize or confront the West other than it would advance Russian interests, and magically, it just works.

The share of GDP of Western countries will fall, as well as their ability to influence the rest of the world. A couple of centuries ago, the West had colonies all over the world, which it could plunder. The accumulated potential and the industrial revolution, even the opportunity for the West to dominate the world. Now that dominance is beginning to decline. The world financial system revolves around Western countries, large Western corporations have the ability to extract resources cheaply from poor countries. Together with the historical memory of colonies, this gives these countries a reason for resentment. Based on your question I conclude that you don't even realize it.

The problem is that there is a tendency for people to leave villages for cities, so many villages are abandoned and the infrastructure is not developing.
