Dear Westerner. There is a reason why you never used anything made or invented in Russia or Soviet Union. The reason is that it all suck(ed). We know that in the post communist countries. Unlike you, we drove Ladas, not because they were good, but unlike you, we had no choice.

In 1962, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee had one of their best ideas: what if there's a villain who is also a dictator, so no American hero can touch him because of his diplomatic immunity? At the time, it was considered far fetched and improbable. And here we are in our glorious next century...

Two images: superhero comics cartoon depicting Doctor Doom, a supervillain telling Superman he can't touch him. The other is far right media platform depicting Netanyahu telling Mamdani he can't touch him.

To understand Russia, you need to think of it as organized crime. So if you ask "what would they benefit by attacking Europe" is - imagine mafia enforcer saying "remember that last arson? it wasn't us, but if you don't pay racket, the next one will be bigger (and also not us)".
