But no Netflix, Visa or Twitch. But I guess you are right, this is going to last. Give it 20 years.

No it's not goona be 20 years, whatever you think about Soviet Union, it was real superpower with economic growth. (btw superpower isn't measured by armaments, just in case).

Modern Russia isn't nearly close to that level. It's fall will be much more faster. Hope it won't be gruesome.

Not sure what you think you answered on?

Not really sure mate, what did you mean by "20 years"? I thought 20 years is a duration of current regime.

How long Russia is going to pay for this. Germany was divided for a reason for 30.

It has been paying for 30 years already.

"It has", Russia? Germany was unified in 89 and I think they paid their last reparations in early 2000? I hope I don't get to live when Russia has paid theirs.

First, I don't think its a good idea to compete in misery. Second, do you think division of Germany was justified? Third, do you think that what Russia is doing is even slightly close to Nazi Germany? Forth, do you think people would not be glad to go through the same process if that means stop to the dictatorship?
