Lol, you're still projecting. You literally resort to name calling whenever the facts don't fit your narrative.

That, my friend, is straight-up projection. Yes, we shall see. But I doubt it'll be that long before the dust settles.

But there can't be much air up there, with your head up your ass.

There's room for you, Yogi. Join the rest of us and live in peace. There's some real issues we all need to deal with. Pull your head out of your ass and deal with the real existential threats we all face.

Yep, that's why Russia is getting spanked by a nation the size of Nebraska. It's good to dream, but don't quit your day job.

Lol. Can't or already has complete domination? I love to root for the underdog, but come on, Russia isn't even in the same league.

Putin's nuclear powered, nuclear tipped, nuclear flavored wet dream? That's so pedestrian. We're living in the future, not a 1950s pulp novel. And again... they can't even maintain their conventional forces. It's highly dubious they'll be able to support more than the demo, or even that, as was the case with the Buran.

They aren't a superpower. This would imply the ability to project power across the planet. And right now, Russia is struggling at the ends of it's own rail lines. And how many aircraft carriers do they have? Zero.

They are nuclear armed, but I doubt if they can maintain 1% of their arsenal given the corruption and neglect evident in the rest of their military. They do love blowing money researching old-fashioned "super weapons," ala Hilter's last days. But they can't afford more than the demo model. Or the clean up when they splash isotopes all over their own lands when one blows up in testing. Meanwhile, America, the real superpower, is on to 21st century tech.

Yes, as a client state to China, as North Korea is now. And when China and India flare up, Russia will be forced to choose China. Their options only become more narrow, so long as Putin remains in control.

Never invest there again. This will hurt Russia long after Putin's gone.

...with a weaker bluff. It's childish, like the toothless sanctioning of Biden and Hilary Clinton. Or threatening international volunteers for the Ukrainians with legal action, while inviting Syrian mercenaries at the time. The noises coming out of the Kremlin have become farcical.

The eastern autocratic dictatorship that is guilty of all your points as well? Is that who you mean?
