It blows my mind that Russia has taken years to wind up the war machine enough to actually beat stupid little corrupt Ukraine who they share a land border, and linguistic and cultural roots with, yet somehow they're going to turn around and march like the Red Army to Paris, and do Red Dawn style invasions of the US and UK
If only the Soviets won the Cold War. If only Red Dawn was plausible (the alt version where the Soviets win, of course).
Stopping at Berlin was Stalin's worst mistake.
I wish the Warsaw Pact and the Comintern were still around. I miss when socialism had geopolitical power. I miss when being a commie made me scary, not a political joke. I miss when we had hope. I miss when it looked like we could win if we just played our cards right.
(I really enjoyed Red Dawn, tbh. Right up until the commies lost.)
Christ, I miss the Cold War. At least back then, I'd eventually have had the good sense to defect.
Putin will not stop at Berlin
Wtf, I love Putin now
