Didn't say it isn't, that's matter of opinion. At least for me, since my geopolitical views may be lacking.

Wouldn't downfall of the USA open the doors for China, not the Russia by the way?

Doesent seem like there is hard evidence this is for propaganda

Interpolating too much from too little

If the machine is indeed controlling, influencing or swaying those silly 5-min videos, that's a good thing. I rather wouldn't expect us to be able to discuss their influences in context other than historical otherwise.

Unless we'd be on some highly interesting payroll.

Russia wont survive the death of Putin.

Don't they have another leader in making? I didn't hear about anyone but I'm not observing internal affairs of Russia.

As soon as he is dead, any corruption he prevented, rather than taking over, will return tenfold.

If they're not making the general public used to the new potential leader, it does sound quite irresponsible.

The Free Russia Foundation released a 170-page report about "what the country might look like in 2030", but it may be just wishful thinking. According to the publicists, report is mostly focused on anti-Putin candidates.

Without a strongman to rule over Russia - it will devolve into chaos and corruption

This is why it has historically been ruled by a powerful leader

Same goes for most Slavic Nations

That's why they should prepare next leader before health of Putin starts to visibly weaken.

Couldn't find any intel on that however.

Just some "yay, after Putin is dead there will be no Putin!" type of thing.

Putin is not a good leader

Would you rather see someone from Putin's camp as his successor, someone from anti-Putin camp, or someone else?

putin, like majority of modern politicians, is just a puppet

@AsdfgQwert Someone else

I want to see a Russian Ruler who recognizes the existence of the Slavic Group - as historically the Russian Leaders have, rather than expansionism.

You mean pan-slavic approach?

To an extent, yes

Yeah, Putin seems to be harming Russia relations with other Slavic nations. Such as Ukraine, to not look too far (if in your worldview Ukraine should be separate nation).

It may be hard to undo.

It is possible.

But the longer we wait the worse it gets

Pan-Slavism reached the closest to reality in the time before World War I

And hit a new low with the fall of communism in the 80's

Since then there has not been much talk of inter-slavic relations

I believe pan-Slavism is inevitable - but i am unsure if i will be alive to see it.

If you want Russia to do anything else than being controlled by corrupted oligarchs, it’s Putin’s time to go

The leader cult may be a good opportunity here, since it does seem to leak outside of the Russia. Sizable portion of general public in slavic countries equates Russian government with Putin. The new leader should have a window to convince people that Russia have changed.

Germany was made into a single nation by a Strong Leader

If he'll just sit here and do nothing for a year or two, or continue the current politics, view won't change. Otherwise, there's a good chance.

I believe so is necessary for the Slavs to Unite

Putin is probably recent Vepsian who isn’t loyal to Russian people and has betrayed fugrics

Before Otto, there was not even the concept of a pan-german state, no pan-german language

But with his leadership, it happen

If the Slavs are to unite, a powerful leader must do it.
