I sort of know the story of what happened to Russia and as you might expect it was the right wing that did them in. Milton Friedman's, pseudo-economics. A bunch of Milton Friedman's whiz kids went over there and used them as a guinea pig of their right wing supply-side economic theories and it totally destroyed their economy and their society.

So now they are a dictatorship with Putin being basically the godfather of the Russian mafia. And Trump has talked 37% of the Republican Party into joining him and saluting Putin as a much better leader than Obama. Totally overlooking the fact that this man rules like Stalin and is a blood thirsty sociopath.

Stalin versus Obama, with Trump telling his people that Stalin is the better man. What evil will those two get up to?

The conversion to a western economy went far more smoothly in former East Germany paid for by all Germans with an income tax surcharge. Russia didn't have a patron.
