Since launching a surprise attack last week, Moscow has been unable to push Ukrainian troops back after they advanced up to 30km into Russian territory and are now in control of about 28 settlements.
Russians have been brainwashed for centuries by their elites to thinking corruption is the natural order of things.
They can’t believe that western nations can have shows of wealth and quality of life standards they do, because that means the way they and their ancestors have lived for decades isn’t how people are supposed to live.
Their elites steal everything, ensure education standards are low as possible so their workers can just barely manage to operate in a factory, on a farm or in a mine, and then encourage them to stay drunk as possible during their waking hours.
And then they wonder why Russians who manage to emigrate west never go home and sooner or later cut all contact with their backwards motherland.
Frankly if it hadn’t been for the advent of Nuclear Weapons, and Soviets stealing designs for them from America, Russia never would have been a Superpower at all and probably collapse in on itself in the 60s.
Western elites do steal, true. But to no where near the same extent. We’d have trillionaires in the west if they stole as much as Russian oligarchs do.

You think the western elites don’t? It’s just slower…
The trick is not to steal faster than the economy can produce. It’s like organic, fair trade, sustainable kleptocracy.
