They just suck. Always have.
They lost in WW1.
They would have lost WW2 without U.S. lend lease.
And they wouldn't have gotten nukes without buying the plans from American traitors.
And they still can't let go of their inferiority complex.

Vladimir Putin's top security officials understand that the war in Ukraine is 'lost' and a coup is now a realistic possibility, a Russian analyst has predicted.
Christo Grozev, a Russia expert, believes GRU and FSB elites are the most likely to try and topple Putin, because they know the truth of what is happening on the ground.
And those elites are already looking for ways to move their money and families out of the country in anticipation of Putin falling, Grozev claims.

Grozev also said that defence ministry flights to a supposed command and control bunker near Ufa - 725 miles east of Moscow - have reduced since earlier in the war.
'Those flights for the elite, which we recorded a month ago, are now not so intense,' he said.
Grozev said that senior figures in the FSB - Russia's main internal security agency - and in the GRU military intelligence directorate - are preparing for life after Putin.
The 'intellectual part of the GRU', those with 'complete information' understand the mire Putin is in, he said.
'And also the FSB elite, which knows the specific number of victims among the Russian troops, and understands that the mothers, wives, sisters of the dead or missing Russian soldiers do not stop asking questions.
'They know that this situation will eventually get out of hand.
'These are those parts of the security forces who know the dangers for the regime, and they themselves are now preparing their future.
'Some of them are looking for an opportunity to take their families out of Russia, all are looking for ways to transfer the accumulated money (corruption money in many cases) into dollars and euros.

Getting rid of Putin may not be the end of the war. It might get really worse. Stalin was worse than Lenin. Ukraine will get screwed—even in Victory.
So, let me get this straight.
The most powerful arsenal of nukes of the top 3 nuclear powers are under the control of 3 men, each with severe health issues and a desire to consolidate more power?
But it's really gonna suck when they lose.
So if there is a story you don’t agree with, regardless of multiple source, its got to be untrue, right? Indeed you are radical. Oh and kiss Pootie Toot good night, like a good little boy toy.
Perhaps this could be put on hold until/unless the possibility becomes a probability. Feeding our babies, having enough gasoline in the tank to get to the emergency room should they go into convulsions and watching our daughters so they are not raped by our new illegal alien population seems to be more pressing at this time.(Please feel free to add your own problems affecting your ability to sleep at night.)
White Russian dissidents reveal to Daily Mail a top secret plot to oust Putin. Yay!
Soviet Russia is indeed Soviet as is being endlessly demonstrated by Soviet forces openly using the Soviet flag and Soviet emblems on their uniforms.

The non sequitur remains unexplained.
You replied to an honest question with bombast and ad hominem ... not a recognized debate-winning tactic.
It is at least as free a country as Canada and Australia with far more conservative government in charge than Canada.
It's your kind of hatred and ignorance that leads to wars and world wars.
No doubt, you've always dreamed to having a Russian wife or girlfriend.
Russia is entering the 20th Century someday!
On June 19, 1953, Julius died after the first electric shock. Ethel’s execution did not go smoothly. After she was given the normal course of three electric shocks, attendants removed the strapping and other equipment only to have doctors determine that Ethel’s heart was still beating. Two more electric shocks were applied, and at the conclusion eyewitnesses reported that smoke rose from her head.
