Thank you for moving the overton window here-and-there where it’s needed.

What a happy couple. <3

Awh! This is so good, thank you.

Unironically for once, actually. Or should unsubscribe to Pod Save America before I’m exposed?

I’m just curious of particular political underpinnings is all, so thank you.

That’s correct to the extent when Russians lost their Eastern European block, they threw the whole charade away. But there is an under-current of thought that still exists among Russians and is the reasoning behind Putins invasion of Ukraine; they see their state as something larger than ‘Russia’.

Just confirming, but out of curiosity, why do you have a Russian imperialist symbol in your tag?

If you want to agree that the USSR was a ponzi scheme of pushing Russification across Eastern Europe; then you’re in good company brother. Though I think our contention would rest regarding how Russians see their country today vs prior to 1989 would be my guess.

hey nimrod, they guy posting this also agrees with glasnost too.

We need to Nuremberg Trial these clowns.

To further explain; what this guy, and other tankie losers are so angry by blaming Gorbachev for the fall of the USSR was the policy of ‘Glasnost’ or simple transparency. Some might blame perestroika, but most tankies don’t really care about socialism anyway.

“Sometimes… maybe you don’t reform your attitude, and opinions...”

It’s actually super easy, try watching this and find out:

None of that is important; what bothers me is there are people who conveniently forget why the Soviet Union fell apart, and to this day are committed make excuses for its past:
