Once US turns off the tap this war ends immediately. It's really that simple.
No, it really isn't. The rest of eastern Europe's countries remember what it was like to live under the Russian thumb and they have plenty of modern weapons and well-trained soldiers salivating to ensure Russia is going to be a crippled husk for the next few generations. Western Europe is none to fond of Russia either. And if America stops helping because an obvious Russian puppet president has taken power, that's only going to make it worse.
America may be the sole "superpower", but bear in mind that that means Russia is not a "superpower". They're a peer to the various countries of Europe at best, and by this point I would not even call them that. Ukraine has more tanks than Russia does now. America's already done a lot of the heavy lifting in breaking Russia, if they bowed out now it's not like everything resets to the way it was in 2021. Russia is still on the ropes.
Gee, I wonder if anything might have happened from 2014 to present that would have changed those numbers a bit.
Also, to dig up an old favourite, you forgot Poland. And a bunch of others. More countries were "living under the Russian thumb" than just literal members of the USSR. Here's 14 former Soviet republics that joined NATO, whose primary purpose is to defend against Russian attack.
To ja ci kurwa powiem, że lepiej było dla młodzieży za PRLu niż teraz. Jebać Solidarność, chuje sprzedali nas za paczkę fajek.
Gdyby nie program ziemii odzyskanych nigdy bym kurwa nie marzył o tym że kiedykolwiek będę miał dom na własność.
Prawie każdą osobę którą znam chce spierdolić na zachód za "lepszym" życiem, więc dzięki wielkie za tą waszą "wolność".
NIE
LOL. Looks like the 2013 study decided not to ask anyone they knew for sure would answer that they were glad they were free from the USSR.
It was about some brainwashed ahistorical idea of these countries having it bad under the USSR. You want a new poll to see if they changed their memories? Try to be honest with yourself at least.
