Not really stable.
At least not until the USSR fell, but within a few years Yeltsie (Boris Yeltsin) was telling Bill Clinton to his face that Russia wanted all of Europe and all of Asia.
Tell me that is “stable” and I’ll laugh in your face.
You can laugh all you want.
Yeltsin was telling Clinton that because he knew Clinton was a beotch.
Do you find it amazing how so much bad sh*t happens when we have Democrat Presidents and not when we have someone like President Trump?
After the wall fell, Russia was on life support.
Yeltsin was nothing more than the loudmouth in the bar.
And given what had been happening, it’s safe to say Russia wouldn’t last a week against NATO.
That being said, that’s still no reason for the US to give Ukraine anything. Especially billions in cash to pay their politicians, Abrams tanks and everything else.
We have our own problems.
