George Monastiriakos:
“To be clear: The Russian Federation is the third iteration of the Russian Empire. Spanning 11 time zones and comprising hundreds of ethnically, linguistically, religiously, and culturally distinct societies ruled by, from, and for the benefit of a small circle of kleptocrats primarily based in Saint Petersburg and Moscow, the Russian state has been unviable for centuries. Like empires of old, the only way to save Russia from itself is to dismantle it.“

@Free_Press Been saying that for decades. It's more easily said than done, though. A lot of Russians truly believe they ought to have an empire. This makes sense. The Rus don't have much unless they can pillage surrounding lands that have things -- things like food. This has been the case for hundreds of years.
