When you stop & think about it...What is Russia without it's nuclear weapons?
Literally just a giant 3rd world country trying desperately to remain relevant after the collapse of USSR.
Let's dive in the reality of Russian state & mentality 🧵
Russia is a sick country that lives in three-phase cycles. Rise, Decline & Collapse.
This cycle repeats itself every century or so. Todays Russia is in a state of decline
Russia falls every time to the same diseases that torment it: Imperialism, megalomania & totalitarianism.
These national diseases have prevented Russia from developing and generation after generation of brainwashed people praise this sick system without questioning anything before the next stage of collapse.
Because of these diseases, everything also continues unchanged after the collapse.
At the moment of collapse, the person in the strongest position seizes total power for himself and keeps it if he has enough strong allies.
He and his close circle continue to steal from the Russian state and the people move on to worshiping this new dictator just like the previous one.
Any resistance of the slightest degree is suppressed with violence.
In the rising phase, another one of Russia's diseases comes to the fore: the need to be bigger than it is or could ever be.
In the imperialist history of Russia, there are leaders who have succeeded in their conquests. Every Russian dictator wants to make similar history.
Because the brainwashed people of Russia live by believing in Russian greatness, it is easy time & again to harness it as a tool for the dictator's personal goal.
Majority of people also live in miserable, almost medieval conditions, and the hope for better tempts them to war
Due to Russia's totalitarianism and the resulting international isolation, the underdeveloped Russian state is unable to maintain even its own huge territory despite its natural riches. Most of Russia is therefore a "wasteland".
For this reason their eyes turn to the more developed west where these riches are ready to be used.
Russia's megalomania gives Russians the impression that they are in a position to decide the existence of other states. This thinking also sows the seeds for fascism.
We already see and hear openly fascist speeches from the current official leadership of Russia and especially from the state-controlled media.
The people are being brainwashed into Russian imperialism again.
In the West, we have to understand that Russia has been acting this way for centuries. These diseases are an incurable part of the Russian people.
We cannot and should not seek to change Russia. That is no longer possible.
The only right way to live with Russia is to hold it back. Russia is a primitive nation that is not on the same level as Western civilization.
We have to speak their "language" and I don't mean Russian. Violence & power is the only language that Russia and Russians understand
Putin's Russia is in a state of decay. Putin has already failed in his goal to go down in history as a great conqueror like Peter the Great. He's at a dead end. This will lead to the next collapse before long.
But don't wait for Russia to change, new cycle just begins.
I would very much like to see how vatniks try to challenge this. Not with facts, that's for sure 😂
Vatniks are mad as hell but of course its understandable. Its humiliating how ridiculous sh*tshow Russia really is. Remember that many of these are russian bots, its their job to try to fight the ugly truth 😄
Many of the vatniks accuse me of "coping" without telling why they think that.
Whataboutism doesn't work here, explain exactly what was false in this thread, I'll listen.
Some people claim that the photo in starting tweet is digitally altered.
Russia's rhetoric towards Finland is getting tougher by the day and just like they did towards Ukraine, they are questioning the existence of the Finnish state.
Rhetorically, we are already at war.
Some of the latest propaganda and threats from ryssä🧵
Andrei Klimov, Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Upper House of the russian Parliament:
"Finland has become a pseudo-state that is still searching for itself. As happened to Ukraine."
Political scientist Oleg Glazunov:
"Finland has become a real military threat to russia.
Finland has actually been fighting against russia "all the time" ever since it was given independence in 1917."
Current russian narrative claims that Finland actively participated in the siege of Leningrad.
This is not true, Finland refused German demands of closing the blockade, even though it could have easily done so.
"Road of life" remained open by the Finns' choice.
Having reached its pre-Winter War border, Finland halted its advance and even refused to shell the city with its artillery, despite all German demands.
It was a gesture of mercy to the russians, despite all their actions.
