I occasionally check up on a slavishly pro-Kremlin blog run by some tubby Russian ex-pat hawk who hilariously advocates the death of the West from Florida. I guess Moscow was too cold. The fan base in the comments section there is fundamentalist and quite apocalyptic. Some favor a first strike that takes out the East and West coasts of the USA as the best chance for Putin Land to survive. It’s pretty disturbing. It’s a testament to the 1st Amendment that people like that aren’t rounded up.
“Some favor a first strike that takes out the East and West coasts of the USA as the best chance for Putin Land to survive.”
The irony is that nobody actually wants “Putin Land”, except for the Chinese!
He’s right in a way. Not nuclear destruction of course, but the West is now too corrupt to survive. It will go down, and needs to. Hyperinflation, decadence, economic collapse etc. This does not mean Russia will prosper or even survive. But the West sure as heck should not either.
