putin and stalin - and every alcoholic below them on the hierarchy - equally incompetent, just as inhumane and idiotic in their views on life and the world, having brutalized and/or persecuted the intelligent people out of their right wing society, then scratching their heads as to why their infernal machinery crumbles.
This is why russia remains firmly stuck in the 19th goddamned century.

Yes, if Putin had embraced democratic values, and cooperated with the west. Russia could have had more than 30 years of steady progress, and be the biggest economy in Europe.
But apparently that wasn’t good enough for Putin. Instead he wanted to recreate the Soviet Union?!
Talk about a wasted opportunity!
