It's actually incredibly deflating this dumbass empire has maintained supremacy this long, and that the USSR lost to this gaggle of clowns. They've literally only had one good imperialist in FDR (and Truman, I guess) and since then it's been a series of missteps and errors

tbf, they lost to a previous generation of clowns that hadn't yet become 100% high on their own supply the way today's clowns have

The "clowns" that the USSR lost to were some of the most competent monsters of modern history. Meanwhile the USSR post-Stalin was riddled with incompetents.

Yes the USSR left to the empire-builders that arose of the american political sphere which defanged and destroyed the Left in America with FDR, racism and patriotism...and plain ol murder.

FUCK Truman. That dirty bastard dropped two atomic bombs on Japan knowing they were already at the point of surrender. He did it to flex on the USSR. How cooked does your brain have to be to do something that inhumane?
