MOSCOW, December 27. /TASS/. Russia has never demonstrated some "imperial ambitions" and it has no plans for reviving the Soviet Union, the speaker of the Federation Council (upper house of parliament) Valentina Matviyenko told a news conference on Monday when asked for a comment regarding allegations Russia had plans for recreating the Soviet Union.
"First, even if somebody might wish to do this, it would be impossible. Second, we have never demonstrated any imperial ambitions. The train is gone. These days it is essential to develop mutually beneficial cooperation on a new basis. We have no such plans and we will be living in peace, accord, love and friendship with our neighbors and brothers in all former union states," she said.

Valentina Matviyenko is looking at you, Victoria Nuland.

Yes, but with the end of the Afghanistan Debacle another war is needed. So, regardless of true Russian intentions that “Reconstituted USSR” narrative will be pushed anyhow.

Just like Democrats want tolerance, diversity, and equality for all, implemented via democracy showing everyone is in favor of the means ... and anyone who doesn’t agree with The Party will be cancelled, killed, or modified per ruling of a kangaroo court.
Ukraine _wants_ to be a Russian territory, you see....

That’s the look my mother gave when she caught us drinking and skinny-dipping in the neighbors’ pool at 3 AM after high school prom.

LOL. That’s what some of America’s female politicians need... crazy, elaborate manicures. Kamala Harris should try this.

If you are worried you should fly over there and enlist.

Yeah, I’ve gotten that well deserved look from both my Mother and Mrs. Patriot, fortunately, rarely.

Yes. This time, Russia won’t bother giving conquered nations the autonomy ( real and imagined) they gave them under the Soviet regime.

I just read Scott Ritters’(the pervert)article on Russia-Lew Rockwell’s site.. Sounds very level headed. Then there’s the 180 he did on the WMD stuff.
