I do as i realize that without a true competitor our nation is doomed to stagnation, subversion and ultimately death. without an animating contest like the cold war which was the ultimate game of chess america is will rest on its laurels and die the death of a thousand cuts
Russians
Don't kid yourself. Russia is still a superpower.
>lots of natural resources, including oil and natural
>lots of nukes
>an incredibly popular leader
>a military not bogged down by ferries and experiments with genderqueer
>literally just took Crimea in spite of the autistic screeching from the EU and US.
>fly jets and sail warships wherever the fuck they want just to troll the EU.
>don't give a fuck about stupid antarctic
>everyone complains, no one does anything besides sanction
Ever since the left turned our army into a vehicle for social experiments, I'm honestly afraid we'd get our asses kicked by Russia.
I hope every Russian animal will die one day they deserve it
The USSR will return.
I unironically kind of wish the USSR was still around. Communism was fucking retarded, true, and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation was scary as hell, but the Cold War really drove us both forward as nations. And the technothrillers were fucking awesome.
After the collapse of the USSR, both the US and Russia really went downhill culturally.
It was on the verge of being reformed into a capitalist, democratic nation before the 1991 coup ruined everything
I actually believe this will happen, to some extent. A wave of unrest will fall over Eurasia as old post-Soviet bosses like Lukashenko of Belarus or Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan die off, and Russia will be there ready to conquer.
It won't officially be a real nation, at least not at first, but a collection of puppet states welded to Russia in a Eurasian Union or something.
Same. They seem alright.
They can't post any more all VPNs are banned.
Also the USSR was pretty shit for its citizens, world relevance was probably small comfort.
Victory has defeated us. We at least had a clear mission when we were up against the Soviets. We've both figuratively and literally allowed ourselves to get fat.
Is Russia blocked now? I know they forbade the use of VPNs and shit, I wonder if Sup Forums was on the blocklist.
basically...
some of us still around and kicking though
can't kill that which is already dead
