No, the Russian Federative Soviet Socialist Republic declared independence from the Soviet Union. Just like all the other republics. (Which is also why Gorbachev and his Soviet Union government instantly lost all power in Moscow just like everywhere else.)
Yes, but not with Putin. Putin won't be allowed to surrender, he can be only killed or captured now. (Doesn't really matter by whom.)
Then we can complete the decommunization and demilitarization.
I mean, you know full well that Russia is the legal successor to the USSR, and has been recognized as such. But even on your own term, your argument makes no sense. Why would Gorbachev lose power if the RSFSR declared independence? The Soviet army was not under the control of the RSFSR, it was an all-union thing. Unless... Russia became the successor of the USSR.
LOL! You'd like the successor much less even if that were to happen. After Vladimir Tishaishi comes Dimitry Grozny.
Let's complete decommunization by dismantling the stuff that the Bolshies created: the idea of a Ukraine.
Gorbachev did lose power because all of sudden there was nothing Soviet Union anywhere. This is how it was a double coup against him, first by the KGB who detained him in Crimes and then by Yeltsin and the others as the KGB (and his own bodyguards) kept him in Crimea.
The Soviet Army splintered. This is how the Ukrainian Armed Forces came to be. This is also how Ukraine got their gigantic nuclear arsenal.
It you mean someone like Strelkov (if he won't get the window trip first) at least won't be a retarded madman. He may be a maniac (and Strelkov's very much against the idea of using nuclear weapons btw) but he won't be retarded. It may be better for Russia, at least.
The Bolsheviks conquered the independent Ukraine.
(They also conquered Russia, and turned it into a Hell on Earth.)
He lost power before Yeltsin & company illegally declared the USSR dissolved. Which makes a mockery of your claims.
It was just what was on the territory of Ukraine, nothing more.
I mean someone like Medvedev after his redemption arc. I don't have any illusion that a man like Strelkov would be capable of retaining power in Russia. And I have my doubts about Medvedev as well.
How independent was 'Ukraine' in 1914?
Correct.
"Medvedev redemption arc"? Crying and raging over his yacht?
Just as much as independent Poland (Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia, and so forth) was in 1914.
I respect Strelkov like Basayev, based crazy guerrilla energy. Like Che if Che wasn't a fagphobic faggot. Skorzeny in a way.
Not going to lie, I kinda like Strelkov a lot. He may be crazy but he's always very honest, and he's not corrupt in the least. He's also very militarily talented and personally brave. Everything the KGB desk jockey Putin never was, not even during his gangster phase.
Navalny is extremely respectful, no matter how much the libs want to paint him as a Nazi.
I wish Putin had put Strelkov in control of the operation.
Navalny is never going to happen. The successor to Putin will not be a puppet of the West.
It's a war, not an an operation. The great orc slaughterfest at Lyman rn is an op, and a part of a campaign.
