But recall that the “collapse” of the Soviet Union was only a reorganization. We won’t be so lucky.
And if we don’t “collapse” or “merge”, they will launch their nukes at us and follow up with an invasion. In fact had Trump remained President we would have likely faced nuclear attack by this point.
Orlov’s discussion of the Soviet Union is quite terrifying in its details.
Just two examples:
—Factories stopped paying workers except in goods, so the workers had to get a second gig trading those goods on the black market to get essentials.
—Street murders were almost nonexistent under the old Soviet Union. They became commonplace post collapse.
