[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As someone  who  was born and raised in a dictatorship, I'm always baffled to see people who have all the historical  ressources at their disposal to make better choices choose to go in the opposite direction. What we're currently witnessing is the end of putin as we knew him but also the end of the russian federation as it currently stands.

Russia doesn’t have the financial nor human ressources to engage in a protracted military conflict with multiple nations at once . Worse, this war is putin's and solely putin's. If anyone saw that awkward exchange he had with his spy chief , you'd know this . There's no realistic path through which it ends well for putin and russia .[/quote]

This raises a question I've been having. The USSR broke up for a reason. Won't that reason (or reasons) still apply if Putin takes some of those areas back? I don't know if those reasons are the areas being a financial burden, unmanageable anti-Moscow sentiment, or what. But it seems like if Putin puts Humpty-Dumpty back together again, it's not going to be any prettier than it was before. [/quote]

Simply put, the USSR crumbled under its own weight. Putin is a revisionist—though, scary at it is, he actually believes his own lies. Of course, it won't be prettier than it was before and,  the willingness of the majority of 40+million people to not be subservient to moscow is a parameter than the old USSR didn’t  really have to contend with .[/quote]
