>>510798574>Russia is not falling, they are hybernating, much like the Philippines.>we're only pretending to be shitsure, sure
and wasting all that human potential is also just playing 4d chess, right
Russia could literally ditch the west altogether and still have a prosperous, productive society
but they don't
some parts / bubbles in Saint Petersburg / Moscow are like that by the way, the whole country could look like this
but no

all while regular Russians somehow don't care at all
oh well, what do I complain, the yacht will be produced in Germany so...
