    I remember teachers at school telling me that the Soviets wanted nuclear war because they were brainwashed into thinking that the power of Communism would protect them from the devastation or some nonsense

      Fast forward to today and libs are posting about how “We don’t have to worry about nuclear escalation with Russia because they’re too stupid to properly maintain their nukes so they won’t work”

      It’s always projection

      You mean to tell me the Soviets wanted to protect the world from devastation and unite all peoples within their nation?

      Seriously, America and their lackys got everything they dreamed of with the collapse of the USSR and just absolutely squandered it. If they had played their cards right we would be looking at a second American century. I guess we should be thankful that capitalists are never able to see beyond the next financial quarter and are willing to sacrifice long-term success for short-term benefits

      Darkly hilarious how libs got the world handed to them on a silver platter, immediately fucked it up, and still act like their ideology is beyond question.
