    Look at the outcomes of WWII. The US and Russia emerge as superpowers.

    The US and Russia emerged as superpowers because 99% of the fighting wasn’t on their land. They didn’t have to rebuild.

        Why? Because you think there’s enough difference between the USSR and Russia to differentiate between them? The only major difference is that half the continent is no longer under Russian rule. Russia is USSR light. Same shit different day, regardless of what they want to claim about communism/capitalism/oligarchs/etc. It’s the rich fucks running everything and killing or “disappearing” anyone critical of the regime.
