The Russian Federation

.. is a centuries-old colonialist kleptocracy.

A bunch of this came as total news to me. I thought I knew a little something about Russia. I didn't.

When Putin crows about how rich Russia is, he's just bragging about having stolen practically everything they "own".

You think Manifest Destiny was bad - holy fuck. You ain't seen nuthin'.

Here's just a small taste, which doesn't make much of anything any clearer for me, except the part that points out that the thing was built by colonization and genocide.



Russia has been a flaming hot mess for 9 or 10 centuries. It may take another 9 or 10 to sort it out.
