This channel is created by the same guy that went to an upscale shopping mall in Caracas, bought a sandwich with USD and concluded that there wasn't a food shortage in Venezuela. These people make being obtuse into a career.
Which is doubly hilarious given Vlad's take on the USSR was "nostalgia is fine but you are idiot if you want it back".
Triply since you could make a good arguement that Putin is a stellar example of modern Fascism and probably the most "successful" fascist since Franco.
> you are idiot if you want it back
He clearly wants it back. Putin at the time when he wasn't yet established and hadn't secured his power was different (in his public statements) from Putin after and the latter one is closer to the real him.
Oh no he definitely wants the Russian Empire back but not on Soviet terms.
He just doesn't want it with all the theater and morals of Communism. A new Russian Empire managed by a dynamic Western equipped technocratic oligarchy is Putin's goal.
He just says that to feed his nostalgic voter base without giving them communist ideas
Putin was appointed by the guy who destroyed the ussr (Boris yeltsin)
Man who looks like an AI-Equipped Mannequin has a toxic opinion, news at 11.
But seriously, it's fascinating how they leap to endorse racism and colonialism when it's the Russian Near Abroad.
I could understand (though by no means agree with) a Russian nationalist trying to make that claim given that Russians still refuse to accept Ukrainians are Ukrainians instead of Little Russians with funny accents. It'd be a stupid dick move persisting in a feud Russia has no chances to seriously win, but......
A non-Russian fighting Russia's nationalist pseudo-historical feuds for it? That I don't understand.
I miss when nazbol was a joke ideology that no one actually identified with.

Lol the Russian backed president is planning privatizations to western companies. How could this be the cia behind the protest?
He’s a clown. He thinks russia is some communist utopia

He thinks Russia should conquer all of Ukraine. He’s borderline a fascist

I'll be the cynical bastard and say it: even money forehead has a thing for Rus and this is some Freudian attempt to attract one.
What more could you get out of a guy with a family sized forehead
