But also, the problem is not that Russia is a strong state. That's China. The problem is that Russia is a weak state, with grievances and a desire to overcompensate and punch above its weight. A stronger USSR couldn't control Afghanistan, nor could. Where do the warm water ports come from?
Warm water ports were a key goal of Russian imperialism and statecraft all through the 19th century - part of why the Crimean War was fought back in 1850s and undoubtedly part of why they want Crimea and Ukraine now.
