This is outright silly - russia is structurally incapable of sustaining many sectors of economy. Russian businessmen are routinely forced to flee the country or tortured in prison.

The first thing anyone in Russia does, if they’ve made money, is they buy real estate in Europe.

The vassal-ish relationship would not be functional, it would not work for Russians themselves. Nor is there are reason to believe Russia would dominate that relationship.



There are literally no responses to this idea that aren't kneejerk reactionary agitprop.

Clearly, nobody has really thought about this concept sufficiently well enough to understand its extensive merits...


So please name some of these extensive merits..

> reactionary agitprop.

Right...


A lack of any justification for America to spend a trillion dollars a year and a pittance on healthcare and education for its citizens, for one ..


I'm sorry did you reply to the wrong comment? How does this answer my question in any way?

> a pittance

Did you bother actually looking up these numbers? Public spending on healthcare in the US is comparable to most Western European countries.
