    Russia just hacked Japan Airlines in response. I swear I’ll open a champagne when that evil empire will cease to exist

      They’ll cease to exist the same way the Soviet Union did - silent for a while, then the same shit over again.

        Yeah, it’s true. Maybe this time, the root cause, the KGB, will finally be eradicated.

        Also, though, the empire did shrink quite a lot last time, so hey, it’s a step in the right direction lol

        The problem fundamentally is that the Russian people crave autocracy, maybe not on an individual level but certainly on a collective level.

        Rural, uneducated, poor, hyperreligious, xenophobic bumpkins are always the foundation of support for every single autocrat in the last century.
