I am old enough to remember the cold war times. The Soviet Union disintegrated because they never built an economy. Until Gorbachev, the communists did maintain their grip. If they had an economy like China has, the Soviet Union might have still been around.
Also Xi is not Putin, and the CCP (and generally Communist Parties) are not United Russia.

Sure. But maintain the highest level of deterrence.
- consumer451 2y agoThe deterrence is that I am alive. Neither the Nazis, nor the their Soviet allies could destroy my family. [0] They could not destroy Europe as much as they tried. We are still here. Ukraine, is a rising democracy and is still here. Please my brother, just as each European country had to lose their empires, to finally win our own independence from the specter of imperialist thought. So must you. The Russian people deserve this more than anyone. It's about effing time my brother. Play this loud my friend!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d1AmMt6A9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d1AmMt6A9s [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pac...

Add: > Neither the Nazis, nor the their Soviet allies could destroy my family. They may not have destroyed yours, but they did destroy millions of other families.
- consumer451 2y agoWe have lived through hundreds of years of this murder. We do not want to live through this again. This is the end. This is the end, and finally Russian people will prosper. Take the "L," It's actually a win. Just like Germans did after "losing." Just like Spanish did after "losing." Just like Italy did after "losing." Just like Portugal did after "losing" their empire. Then we became boring European assholes and we get a little per captia rich and all got along. Fine, have a different alphabet, have orthodox, the Greeks are part of Europe and they have this. Why can't Moscow just stop killing us??? And they kill Russians more than anyone!!! Please, just stop! Fuck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqohApD6Ng8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqohApD6Ng8
