Amazing thread 🧵:
Putin literally saved Russia from the West by rebuilding their military industrial complex from scratch after the fall of the Soviet Union

Most people on here have never visited Russia, or any of the other former Communist countries. It's easy to be taken in by Russian propaganda
Russia is a poor country. Moscow is a shit hole. What is more galling is that Russia is falling behind the countries it used to look down on
I was in Belgrade a few weeks ago. Belgrade is visibly much more prosperous than Moscow. It has a huge population of affluent young Russians who have fled Putin and the draft.
Even back in the days of communism Russia produced great writers, composers, musicians, athletes. They produced real stars. Over the last few decades all of that has gone. For the first time in centuries Russia is out of the big league in sports, culture, everything. A huge blow to national pride.
I have been to Russia on several occasions.I must have looked at different parts than you, although I will concede that every country and City have parts of them that are shitholes. To make a statement like Moscow is a shithole as though the entire City is a festering hole is nonsense.
It's as bad as Mumbai but with worse weather. Squalid.
And I note that none of the Putin fanboys can answer the other question?
What happened to Russian culture, art, music and sport? For centuries it was a world leader in music, literature.
And now nothing. If you want a symbol of Russia's failure as a nation just try and find a composer, or a star footballer. A great writer.
Nothing.
Just some globalist oligarchs stealing all the money and using it to buy expensive houses in London
The same could be said for all countries or have you not seen what passes for American/British Music and Literature and Art lately. Also try not to be a fucking child by calling people who do not agree with you Fanboys. Its Pathetic
You may not like British or American art, music, literature, or art. But at least Britain and the US produce art, and movies, and music.
Russia has nothing. No great sportsmen, artists, musicians. All from a country that was once a global cultural leader for hundreds of years.
Russia is a country in decline. Just look at make life expectancy. It's as bad as sub saharan Africa.
And I am afraid that there are some silly little Putin fanboys on this board. Weak people need a strong leader, and get themselves over excited about sad Vlad.
You make yourself look foolish getting upset about it.
