> Ex-USSR fiefdoms, Russia included, are ran by very simple people, without any geopolitical ambitions.

Which is in stark contradiction to the sophisticated goals of the West to control as much of the world's market as possible in order for mega multinationals to be able to exploit cheap labor and maintain their insane margins, so that they're able to pay their executives an ex-politicians millions of dollars per year.

Very unlike the goals of Russian oligarchs indeed and much more sophisticated.

I have no idea whether this comment is meant sarcastically or not.

It’s probably not sarcasm. In many places this sentiment is prevalent. Introduce „freedom” and „democracy” to create „free market” and seed „capitalism”.
