And after the Russian army was beaten in WWI, we were treated to 70 years of brutal communism. The DC and London globalists would do well to remember that.
They fantasize that some WEF clone will rise to power in Russia and spread their legs for DC and our bankers.
It will likely be the exact opposite. There will be a hardliner that makes them miss Putin.
But, now we are dealing with a person who has no philosophic vision, a person who is motivated by a grandiose vision, of a restored Russian Empire. He is the new Catherine the Great. Such a person is dangerous.

The economic system of Russia is much better than the Soviet Union’s. Putin obviously had influence in that.
Yep, they got rid of The Kaiser, only to get Hitler, later.
USA didn't lose almost 200,000 killed and wounded in the first year.
There were 2,402 United States military deaths in the War in Afghanistan. 1,921 of these deaths were the result of hostile action.
Did bots hack your accounts this morning? No where did the berliner mention troop deaths in his orig post. He referred to time. My answer clearly referenced time, not numbers. Do try to keep up.
Poor baby.
Cold hard facts are just so disturbing to the Putin Stooge vib.
I posted numbers, pay attention.
I compared Russia to Poland and also to Romania. You compared Russia to former Soviet Union. Let’s look at the numbers:
current gdp per capita (2011 international dollars)
Russia $28,000
Romania $36,000
Poland $38,000
U.S. $64,000 (I added U.S. for a comparison)
thirty years ago (same basis)
Russia $12,400
Romania $5,600
Poland $8,150
US $37,000
Russia today is better off than Soviet Union of thirty years ago. But, Soviet Union used to be ahead of Romania (by about 100%) and Poland (50%); and, now those countries (Poland and Romania) doing better than Russia.
The (new) economic system of Poland and Romania - democratic capitalism - is WAA-A-Y better. Ukrainians are not stupid. They can see how much better people are doing in the west. As for Russians, they may be stupid, but how stupid are they? Does Putin want to take a gamble that they will see Ukrainians surpassing them (Russians) during the brief moments - every now and again - when they aren’t drunk?
It is good that you have some history/facts, but your analysis is deficient.
Of Course capitalism is superior to communism.
You err in attributing attempts to advance worldwide communism to Putin v. the actual perps WEF, Dems, DeepState et al. Seriously?
Your amateur armchair Putin diagnosis/prognosis is wrong.
If Vladimir Putin is the megalomaniac you imagine, he could have EASILY administered overwhelming massive ‘shock and awe’in Feb 2022 right up to the Polish border. But he did not, because, contra your ‘thinking’, that was Not his intent/objective.

Nice of you (not) to shat on the site.
It’s not really a project, just a group of us that are fairly active and includes some major donors, activists and pols
When many of us see an issue we are wholly opposed to being promoted we’ll get word out, this bigger donors will generally start applying pressure at higher party levels and threaten to fight to kill support for their local pet projects and start asking other prominent people in their area about interest in running
Lots of times that squeaky wheel approach does the job, if not sabotaging their local projects will usually cut down their base support and either make them change their minds or get them on their heels
Thanks!
My decency rejects obvious debauched Ukrainian flim flam artists and oligarchs. Where is your discernment?
