Return "Russia" to its traditional rulers: the Mongols, Slavs, and Vikings

[struggle4progress]

It's not really a country -- just more of a confused idea, really

The ruling schizogarchy always tries to project its own psychotic splinter-thinking on the rest of the world: Brexit was one of their projects, and so was Calexit (which failed to split California from the US); now they're invading Ukraine, after several unsuccessful attempts to split the country; and they're hoping their threats against Sweden and Finland will split the comity of Europe

But the fact that the schizogarchs hope to unify the fragmented "Russia" by disintegrating others tells us quite a lot about their own weakness
