That grinding sound you are hearing is the Ukrainians relentlessly dissecting arguably the most important part of the Russian economy. And they are doing this with almost no help from their partners--indeed the US has tried to stop them from attacking into Russia. kyivindependent.com/russia-to-be...

What communist regimes did to people's minds still remains to be studied at lenght. Plus, situations created under 🇨🇿totalitarism (environment depredation, Roms parked into ghettoes...) now nourish trumpian populism. Bolder political leadership regarding EU/€ was needed as counterweight, quod non.

First Soviet and now Russian propaganda has been telling us Europeans are desperate to move to Moscow for over 100 years.

What’s striking about Putinist madness is how unoriginal its propaganda themes are.
