This is practically a third world country. It has an economy smaller than Italy's with most of its serfs outside Moscow and St. Petersburg living in dire poverty. It produces not a single "product" that anyone wants to buy other than raw materials. Its technology is archaic. Its Potemkin military failed to conquer a far weaker neighbor after three years of trying AND has lost hundreds of thousands of troops, most of its armor, its puny Black Sea fleet and many of its outdated aircraft. It has failed to maintain or update its nuclear arsenal, which is totally unreliable. And most telling of all: it has suffered an epic brain drain as its best young minds have fled for better opportunities and lives abroad.
In 2025, it makes no sense to see Putin as a leader of a Great Power.
Colleague went over and said it was the worst he had ever seen. The Engineer I worked with from the factory previously worked with nukes.

American society. His mission is to spread Chinese and Russian disinformation. There are thousands like him.
Note that he has no love for ND football or the university for that matter. Look at all of his posts. I can’t believe that the MAGA crowd here has welcomed this piece of trash with open arms.
