He didn’t say “I”, he said “we”. And the “we” in that sentence was Soviet Russia. Soviet Union is clearly no more, but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.
At which point do you think they just gave up on thinking the US as their enemy?
Because you posted him with no context. It wasn’t clear you meant Russia.
but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.
I’d disagree with that. They inherited autocracy, but it’s not even a vaguely similar model of it. In a lot of ways current Russia is a backlash to the USSR, although they shoehorn communist stuff together with Tsarist stuff and everything else from even earlier to pretend they have some kind of ideology.
They still see the West as enemies or at least competition, though, that’s true.
Well, they kept a few of the design bureaus, I guess.
When their whole economic model was obviously failing, I think the West thought they’d give up on Marx, when in reality they just decided to become the bad guys from Marx.
Uh, it’s literally the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from the time that he was in power.

Fkin lol. You can’t be serious?
You’ll probably disagree with Putler being wanted by the ICC for warcrimes as well? Or at least make some excuse for how he’s not responsible or how the ICC or the UN are somehow the bad guys or smth?
Yeah, and I was wondering if this was a “commie democrats” thing. Russia isn’t my first association, or even my second. He was even from Ukraine.

No, Putin is shit and I hope he ends up in the Hague where he belongs.

Because there was a small conflict that went on for literally decades after Khrushchev’s death.
So idk why you’re trying to pretend like “funny shoe man” was waging a personal war against the US when he was the leader of a world power?

Yeah modern Russia scrapped everything of value from the Soviets.
