    North Koreans right now

    Edit: just noticed the duplicate word. I’m leaving it. Not like the guys on the front line are going to be able to read it anyways.

    They may have had the potential to be a superpower, but it’s apparent that they never had the leadership to conduct as one. Those inside the Kremlin bought into their own bullshit and thought of themselves as a superpower, not realising the machine within is operating on unlubricated, old, broken, and missing parts.

    This seems to be a common theme with countries that feed a superiority narrative to their people and other nations.

      Oh, they were a superpower as the USSR. Propping up friendly governments, supplying coups, ratfucking around where more blatant impositions wouldn’t be tolerated. It was just built on a house of cards and when it imploded it imploded big.

        The USSR always had serious issues. They just buried it and heavily restricted civil liberties.

        Oh, we have the military superpower. We’re constantly putting it on display. We’re basically a giant weapons and war factory. When we go down, it won’t come from the outside (except in the form of cyber attacks and misinformation campaigns).

        Though I could see it in a few decades. Russia was a powerful body full of rot. We’re a powerful body with an infection. If the authoritarians win, they’ll replace competent people in key positions with unqualified party-loyal yes men, and that will start the rot.

      It seems to me that people keep begging on Ukraine. How about Russia was all of that and a bag of chips but Ukraine was developed for decades of Soviet rule to be a troop sponge where wave after wave of nato troops die and die and die keeping Russia safe.

      Ukraine was made to be a rock on which superior armies dash themselves on until they break apart.

      After seeing how NATO advised the Ukrainian counter attack to go I’m certain Russia would be in Poland by now if NATO was on the ground.

    Strictly speaking, 2 years, 8 months, and 24 days, or 998 days. We’re just under the 1000 day mark, though.

        Whataboutism is for those who do not know how to shit post. We are here to shit post or at least, throw a little shit at each other, tossing questions and comments in a bouncing, cow-filled cyclone of chaos and irony.
