    Ok I get it now. You guys are living (or LARPing in) a fantasy world where the Soviet Union still exists and Russia isn’t a right-wing revanchist kleptocratic dictatorship.

      A swing and a miss. You asked a dumb question so somebody else asked you a dumb question. You’re being made fun of.

      Why is it that you liberals consistently cannot understand when they’re being made fun of? It’s pathological.

      Nobody here is confusing contemporary capitalist Russia with communist Russia. And this war isn’t about revanchism, it’s about a decade of ethnic cleaning in eastern Ukraine and two and a half decades of US/NATO military expansion toward Russia’s borders.
