Over 50 years ago I read an evaluation of the future of Russia. It said many of the things you said here, and stated that Russia at best was a B- power. Hopefully Putin does not want to condemn his nation to such an end, and will refrain from national suicide.
On the other hand, if it is not also destroyed by a nuclear exchange, China will probably be so busy moving into Russian land, that they will ignore the US for a while, giving us time to recover.
Russia has been cursed by its leadership or lack thereof. Lenin wanted Trotsky, but Stalin tricked him and was the more viscious ruler. Yeltsen has recently been quoted as saying he did not want Putin, and tyranny marches on, US is made of people who left home because they wanted something better and wanted to do it themselves. Certainly that is why so many are crossing our southern border. Only the Africans did not want to come here. It will be interesting to see how our future works out. Hope I live long enough.
Russia has been cursed by its leadership, including the “orthodox” church. But is fundamentally cursed by geography. It has always been, and will be until the return of Christ, a backwards shit hole. I say that with all due respect to the good people of Russia that endure it (and arenthe betters of many ingrate American fools...myself included.
China is decades ahead of Russia in ethic suicide. They won’t be invading jack.
We need to lock down the soul of our homefront and be worthy of the providence we’ve been unfairly given
There are hoards of Africans now crossing the Southern border, not in search of a better life or fleeing tyranny so much as in search of the land of free stuff.
