Russia is fundamentally a more functional country than America, and that's depressing
The only functional parts are those that were inherited from the Soviet Union. America has none.
a beaten dead socialist horse >>>>> richest capitalist power
Yeah that's basically what I'm saying, it's very weird that something so hollowed out can smack around NATO so easily
When I read about the bungling attempts by American and European negotiators, envoys, etc, to work over Russia I often think about the difference in education between the two parties. Putin and his advisors are almost certainly all dyed in the wool neoliberals, but they have one significant advantage over their western neoliberal counterparts - they grew up in the Soviet Union and were taught some kind of material analysis rather than the tautologies and false truisms of a western liberal primary and secondary education. They have the basic foundational building blocks of real analysis while our western dingbats just think they're right because they're better.
