    The free world loses when Russia wins.

    Where exactly is the free world? I assume you’re not referring to the bloc of nations currently exterminating the population of their 2 million person concentration camps; the bloc led by the nation with the highest prison population in the world, both in absolute and per capita terms. The bloc that has destroyed, invaded, and couped multiple countries in the past twenty years.

      Russia is way worse. I’m in Hungary, and our government tries everything to scrub information about stuff they don’t like, all while putting Project 2025-tier evil stuff into our constitution, meaning it could be pretty much be undone by an armed rebellion, which will very unlikely thanks to what I call “weaponized doomerism” (pushing people into inaction via depression, crushed protests, and underfunded health care system), and “political gaslighting” (basically the method behind “you’ll be more conservative as you get older”).
