I can see that viewpoint. And having lived through the exponential growth of the "Military Industrial Complex" post WW2 in the US, I actually have some concern for Russia. Russia is now the "good guys" of the world (to the extent any nation can be - which is not much). Their economy is booming. Near 100% employment. Money is flowing through *their* "Military Industrial Complex" at unprecedented levels. It all reminds me of the US in WW2 and the aftermath. Will they avoid the same "Deep State" trap? How?

Exactly! Russi is what the USA was in the 50s and 60s, the American dream.
They went from empty shelves under Gorbachev and Yelchin to 3 cars per household and highest tech military in the world under Putin in just 20 years.
Is it any wonder he has 80% support among the population? But our media will tell us Russian and Chinese statistics can't be trusted.
Meanwhile we promote degenerate unhealthy lifestylestyles and tear apart the fabric of society at game and violently abroad....
I just realized that between Boeing DIE program creating unprecedented manufacturing defects, United CEO with boanthropy drag dancing for employees, etc, etc --- I am now numbered with those afraid to fly commercial air.
Wow.
Not to mention pilots dropping dead from mandated Pfizer shot, airlines demanding that copilot requirement be dropped due pilot shortage - largely caused by experienced pilots quitting rather than take said mandated shot.
Looks like if I need to fly anywhere, I'll have to charter a flight with one of those pilots. Sounds expensive. There are still non-woke airlines, like Alaska - but then there is the woke equipment problem when you get to larger planes.
