Great! Then we can immediately stop pissing away US taxpayers' hard-earned money on Youcrayne, one of Europe's most corrupt nations, since Russia's on its last legs anyway. Looks like all that Youkazoid talk about the incipient rise of "CCCP 2.0" is just hysterical fantasy. (Which of course, it is.)

Not till the job is done, and Russians lose their taste for conquest - at least their ability.
So far, the only country Putin has been able to force back into his CCCP 2.0, has been Russia. No more free elections, massive oppression and censorship, the Government consuming more and more of the economy, and endless aggression to conquer more.
But that is his vision for the world.
