We call this Capitalism.

Russia seems to be an excellent combination of extremely corrupt Crassus-like tyrants and millions upon millions of shellsuit and real fur trimmed trogs who are too proud and stubborn to do anything about it.

russia's been hosed up since the pre-christian days when the primary god they worshiped had to be placated with human sacrifice, not because he needed the blood to make the sun rise or do anything productive, but because if he wasn't kept happy he would get you

That is insane, a strong wing could take the entire wall out. I wonder how many middle managers will be quietly reassigned after the event to a Siberian salt mine for making Russia look a bit poo poo.

D&D communists are probably gloating over this 'failure of free market capitalism'. And unlike Indians, Russians are white so they aren't getting any help from SJWs either. I am starting to feel a little bad for them

Russia fails under feudalism. Russia fails under communism. Russia fails under capitalism. Someone needs to hurry up and invent some new economic paradigms or Russia is in big trouble.

This Sochi place I've been hearing about recently sounds pretty nice. Hotels, free dogs, chemically treated water, live sports events, and wonderful vistas. I don't know what you guys are so mad about I'm thinking about moving there so see you gently caressers later.
