Like Putin, you’re obsessed with irrelevant non sequiturs based on stuff that happened eighty years ago and more.

That was then, this is now.

Stalin actually had an existential fight, and that tends to focus minds. Putin governs a country that wasn’t under attack at all... Russia had to blow up its own apartment block to frame the Chechens; it had to create Maidan in Ukraine for an excuse to get into Crimea, and the only motivation for Feb 22 was butthurt.

Russia would be left alone entirely by Europe if Putin abandoned his little fantasy of invading countries under NATO protection, and spent more energy on Russia’s lack of indoor plumbing and thousands of impassable roads that haven’t been resurfaced since perestroika.

Nobody with three brain cells to rub together wants to be a part of Dugin’s death cult vision. The knowhow in Russia to do what you’re talking about left Russia in 2022. The experts who are left are fighting not just a lack of resources but a constant threat of reprisals from Moscow if they tell the retards there that they don’t have the materials, expertise, manpower or competent management to build what Putin demands they build.
