Not true. With the USSR went the need to support any social services in the US since there was no alternative ideology anymore, so it was a loss for the working class of the US, which is the majority. It was a rhetorical question, which you didn't get.
Also btw, the USSR collapsed not because of internal strife and balkanization, that was the result. It collapsed because of the introduction of profit/market economy.
Are these "Vatniks" with us in the room right now?
lmao!!! Lukashenko the mastermind playing 4D chess by nuking his only ally and energy supplier so he can get couped by Western Europe. Keep up the posting of these thumbnails, its always interesting to see how the copium treatment goes in UK's hospitals
Even if
What do you mean by even if? Where did I say "therefore the invasion of Ukraine cannot be a failure" or "therefore Russia's capitalist government will do the best for their people in the long term"? Again, what's up with all this X and Y cannot be true at the same time.
I mean, who are the winners in a Cold War at all? You say there is a NATO border incoming. Is this a win for the world population, to be closer to a nuclear war? When two blocks of oligarchies exchange punches, I would say one misses the point when they cheer on the blue-yellow one.
What in OP's comment did not seem like reddit r/worldnews level to you? And no, I don't expect to get a reply nor a discussion with OP, it just appears to me that the top comments are usually simple one-liners, so I thought I elaborate this time on an alternative view and mock their (possible) world view that they put out as some common fact
Saw a video this morning where a Ukrainian farmer escaped a police car from getting drafted, on his tractor. Since the war life in Ukraine turned to GTA with 3 or more stars for people between 18-60. Nobody really wants to be sent into a mine field in a giant steel can and to catch missles, so some Oligarch can get more funding until he flies off to Poland or settles down in Panama.
Then show also the map of countries aiding Russia, if by "aid" you mean selling stuff to a country. I think even Europe would be blue by that logic.
I mean, that's probably a liberal democracy in a nutshell - where a fascist state would openly say we need to fight them, bcs they are subhuman - a liberal state would say - we need to fight them, bcs they lack our democracy... (whispering) ...bcs they are subhuman
Not surprising, given that they made billions in the US and EU after their invasions of Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and so on
this concept is indeed unnecessary if you can't even open your submarine yourself in the first place, another article says the bolts outside need to be oppened by a crew on the support ship
