So close, yet so far.
And yes, the Baltics, famously sovereign countries that aren't just Nazis for hire.
Redditors are not beating the allegations any time soon, I see.
Just because USA made sure yetsin stood, made sure putin is his successor, does not mean they have to admit any responsibility when things go bad. Fucking everyones business up does not mean I have to held liable for consequences. With great power comes no responsibility. Oh BTW Russia is bad for making Trump the president
Libs sure do love ignoring the basic fact that the choices of those without power are constrained by those with power.
This is what happens when you either deny the existence of class or think class is an aesthetic.
More like libs love ignoring facts
The “success” of the post-Soviet Baltic states is the ultimate case of “line go up thinking.” Yes, they had a massive brain drain and QoL factors all caved out, but they got “fiscally responsible” and the GDP per capita shot up due to mass wealth concentration.
The Baltics managed to achieve a high GDP per capita in a less direct way than the Gulf slaver states. If you just don't count poor people, then your GDP per capita is going to enormous. In case of the Baltics, those too poor to benefit the stats just happened to leave the millisecond they had the chance to.
