The USSR’s corpse is laughing from beyond the grave.

When the US thought the cold war was over and that the west has won, the CIA and FBI seemed to direct their attention inwards toward the American empire whilst the KGB and GRU transformed into a new monster that adapted perfectly to a post soviet world.

Modern Russia seems to have perfected PsyOps on a mass scale. They have for years without the West seemingly knowing or caring sowed the seeds of mass disinformation in the general population via social media. This mass disinfo campaign easily exploited the minds of reactionaries and now those seeds are bearing beautiful fruit for the oligarchs of Russia.

The West either became complacent to the threat of Russia after the USSR fell or already had bad actors installed to ignore all the warnings signs to the threat that was Post-Soviet Russia. By the time we all realized what was happening it was all too late.

To be honest I wouldnt be surprised if the USSR was planning something of this scale before it fell and the plan simply “changed” hands. (More like one hand gifting it to the other.)

If any sort of actual truth or justice still exist in one hundred years it would be completely fascinating to study Russia’s rise post USSR and how they were able to so quickly cripple the once mighty West.
