>>199237500Fucking tired of muh ussr boomer crying. What they really miss is being young and sexy. Plus they are ungrateful as fuck, perestroyka could be way more bloody, no civil war happened, the country wasn't shredded in pieces as it was localised by chechens and the oligarchy who OMG STOLE EVERYTHING was the only power who protected these lands, surely just caring about their feeding ground but still. The recent Rothschild reveal behind Hodorkovsky was mindblowing. We were THIS close to death. NATO stirring panic in Baltic and Black seas is like jolly hobbytime by comparison. And this entire BRICS smooving puny 30 years after our heels were basically licked by hellfire? I can't believe how ungrateful boomers are, thousands drinking themselves to death right now about muh USSR. Blind and deaf people.
>>199238736>What they really miss is being young and sexy.Probably that and actually being a superpower
>>199238982superpooper could somehow send the first man in space while having toilet paper shortages. I’m not even exaggerating.
>>199237500it's coming back soonwe're very close to leaving NATO and getting a russian government
>>199237500I didn’t live in the ussr, but I suspect Russia was better under commies than under democrats. At least we almost didn’t have AIDS back then.
>>199238736i think it would have been objectively really cool if perestroyka and glastnost worked out and the USSR saw major international investment like Dengist Chinait would have been objectively very kino to see a modern USSR that had the economic power of modern China
>>199239137>very close to leaving NATODo it and you'll be reveared for the ages to come.
>>199239208we've had 7 failed elections in a row and last one had 30% participation. russian nationalist parties have 20% of the vote. it's only a matter of time
>>199239137>>199239302Bulgaria is about to be CIA'dCвъpши ce
>>199237500kino but unfortunately lost to the ages, china is now the great counterbalance to the west that the ussr once was
>>199239137>He thinks anyone can leave without having nukes
>>199239385Only economically, China can't project power for shit
>>199239444Except that France left once already and no one threw a fit.
>>199239041I guess sometimes that's how things work out, as weird as it may sound>>199239385China isn't really on that level yet. They're a rising power, but they don't have nearly as much capacity to project influence across the world. China would never have the balls to do something like planting nukes at USA's doorstep.
>>199237500a western capitalist Russia would have completely destroyed American hegemony... vast limitless natural resouces, abundant farm land and wood lands, access to unlimited cheap labour from asia, why didn't Russia take the capitalist pill?
>>199239589China would hate them
>>199239589We’re le capitalist now.
>>199239589>a western capitalist Russia would have completely destroyed American hegemonyLike it did during the 90's?
>>199239589They never had the right conditions. Capitalists don't like having schizophrenic, all-powerful overlords hanging over their heads.
>>199239373it's the only thing that will prevent it desu. we haven't had a government last more than 9 months in years
>>199238736It's the same with boomers here. Everything was apparently better in Yugoslavia.
>>199239508Check the last three words of my post
>>199239589>a western capitalist Russia would have completely destroyed American hegemonyretard they literally tried that under Yeltsin and it was fucking disastrous.
>>199239041A superpower is just an entity that can project power across the globe. Has nothing to do with qol of its people. For instance, when America became a superpower, blacks were still being lynched for no reason without any repercussions for the perpetrators.
>>199239823boomers here be like>maybe you had to wait 10 years for a chance of getting the shittiest car imaginable, or save for 2 years to buy a VHS player if you are lucky, but at least everyone had jerbs!
>>199239842You're actually mentally insane if you think anyone is going to invade Bulgaria over this. NATO isn't the Warsaw Pact.
>>199237500Why doesn't Russia join the EU and NATO?
>>199239951What would be the fucking point of NATO by that point?
>>199239951>"Great powers don't join coalitions, they create coalitions. Russia considers itself a great power" ~ Dmitry Rogozin, Russian envoy to NATO. 2009
>>199239932Albania left Warsaw Pact just fine, in comparison there are already Euromaidan-like groups being trained to putsch a potential anti-American government in Poland, even though we're the most pro-American country in the world
>>199239951>AlbaniaYou mean the country surrounded by Yugoslavia that's neutral at best to the USSR and Greece that's firmly aligned with the west? Yeah, I wonder why they never got invaded.
>>199240180>>199240235
>>199239951America should quit Nato and join CIS could you imagine the butthurt?
>>199240305It is an unacceptable act of aggression to have csto right at our doorstep
>>199240235Albania actually fought a war with Yugoslavia...
>>199239951The Americans refused despite Putin's request because they are afraid of losing their hegemony over Europe.
>>199239951USSR tried to join NATO but it was declined
NATO should have dissolved at the fall of the USSR. It's not too late to disband it, but it wouldn't be possible without overthrowing the current world order.
