    Yeah but the communists didn’t manage it. Far right authoritarians like Putin, Bin Laden, and the heritage foundation did

      What ideology they claim to believe in is inconsequential.

      Do you think of China as being actually communist?

      I don’t.

      Russians managed it. No matter what -ism was or is in fashion.

        Ok but it was a multinational front by a shared ideology. Sure Russia just wanted us weakened regardless of professed ideology, but there’s a reason putin was more able than kruschev. Bin Laden played a huge role in this though. And the long standing American fascist movement wasn’t being egged on by the 1950s Soviets.

    I really don’t think the funny shoe man from the 60’s is to blame for this.

      He didn’t say “I”, he said “we”. And the “we” in that sentence was Soviet Russia. Soviet Union is clearly no more, but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.

      At which point do you think they just gave up on thinking the US as their enemy?

      Because there was a small conflict that went on for literally decades after Khrushchev’s death.

      So idk why you’re trying to pretend like “funny shoe man” was waging a personal war against the US when he was the leader of a world power?

        Because you posted him with no context. It wasn’t clear you meant Russia.

        but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.

        I’d disagree with that. They inherited autocracy, but it’s not even a vaguely similar model of it. In a lot of ways current Russia is a backlash to the USSR, although they shoehorn communist stuff together with Tsarist stuff and everything else from even earlier to pretend they have some kind of ideology.

        They still see the West as enemies or at least competition, though, that’s true.

  My rats were pretty intelligent and they didn’t shit where they ate or slept. And they weren’t in the Epstein files. So this comparison doesn’t fly at all.

    Weren’t in the Epstein files as far as you know.

    But yeah I had rats I’d vote for them over trump for anything.
