The nails in the coffin of my fever dream that Putin embrace communism getting heavily pounded this morning before daylight, with this post and one (from you, no less!) I read just prior.
Best to be completely disabused of the notion and get on with dealing with reality, rather than waste much time grieving the dream, I suppose!
Yeah, I don’t think USSR is coming back, and I’m not expecting United Russia to go communists. But, I do expect the fact that China, DPRK, and Vietnam are now the main allies of Russia will have a political effect in the long term.
The KPRF is the second biggest party and most Russians today are pro-USSR so internal conditions make a slide towards some good stuff possible as well.
That makes more sense. Trump is more like America’s Gorbachev.
But if this is Gorbachev, I can only imagine what the American Yeltsin will be…
That was actually what I thought a little while back as well, but not in the same context of doing a pivot and abandoning the ally.

I appreciate the appropriate dose of needed temperance, comrade. 🫡❤️
