We've been fighting for 70 years already,
They told us that life is a battle,
But according to the latest intelligence data,
We've been fighting with ourselves.
We are at war already 1153 years. And basically successful.

Successful? the Russian Empire failed and so did the USSR. And now Putins Russia is slowly going down the tubes, that basically is failure.

I just stumbled over this post and I am always curious about Russia. Their propaganda channel RT is on sky and you have some very strange people, a brick faced Russian blond and a sweaty small American, sitting in front of a backdrop of Tower Bridge, always slagging off America, Britain and saying how wonderful Russia is! ( Not to mention the Ukraine invasion)
And I am struggling to think of one redeeming feature of Russia and the Russians, over history ( Not Pre-1921), apart from their brave defence of Stalingrad..nothing. Perhaps FROZEN is set in a fictional Russia? and I`ve got it all wrong....

It has been a "failure" for the last.. or, thousand years or so?
So in spite of all odds Russia actually is a success.
She definitely fulfilling her purpose of counter-balancing the forces out there that want so desperately to dominate the world.
And I assure you that Russia will succeed yet again.

Russia is nothing and will always be nothing, until it stops being paranoid and shows some humility. But it wont. British people think Russia is..... nothing

And why should anyone particularly care what "British people think?"

You really believe the whole energy sector in the US was done to hurt Russia. Give me a break! It was done for money.

You want to know in what direction the so-called enlightened Russian government is moving? Russia has just placed a driving ban on transgender people. How very enlightened of them.

Russia is moving backwards and the Russian people will sit on their collective backsides and say and do nothing. When the Berlin wall came down people thought that the Russian people would grow a spine and start questioning their governments policies, but they didn't, maybe it was to much for them. After all they were used to being told what to do and to keep their mouths shut, seems nothing has changed.
