🎪 1999 Putin delivered a brutal critique of 2026 Putin

"All our problems are of our own making... Look at our economy — it's nothing but misery. Look at our international relations — there's a gaping hole everywhere."

Back then, it sounded like a diagnosis. Today, it reads like the result of 27 years in power.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@TeaTramRussia It has nothing to respond with.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@Dubinsky_pro The war is continuing because no-one believes these alleged advantages of Russia.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

340 drones reportedly heading for Crimea’s energy infrastructure tonight - the kind of nightly reality Russia now faces after militarizing the peninsula. But don’t worry, Kremlin-bots like @ConciousLabRat assure us Russia is “winning.” Apparently victory now comes with a blackout

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

Kremlin-bots like @ConciousLabRat sell Russia as the clean, orderly, wealthy model Europe should imitate. Meanwhile in Rostov-on-Don - a city of 1.1 million - pensioners line up for free food because many could not survive otherwise. Quite the civilizational benchmark.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@ConciousLabRat Yes, you're right Russia did get richer. The percentage of households not having access to in-door plumbing decreased from 26% to a whole whopping 22% in the last 12 years.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

Just 30 km from Saint Petersburg - one of the two centres of Russian civilization. This charming little hospital is apparently part of the "prosperity" that people like @ricwe123 think neighbouring countries should stop resisting and simply embrace.

@ConciousLabRat You ve been listening to the grandpa past his bedtime dressing up as a basement store security guard again haven't ya?

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

Nothing says 'modern superpower' quite like a country where around a quarter of the population lacks indoor plumbing and over a third has no gas at home. But yes, @AngelicaOung, Moscow is beautiful.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@Rusia_HD Russia has no pride, as well as no in-door plumbing plumbing for approximately quarter of population and no gas for 36% population. The best place to make a family.

@Ildar_De Ты наверное имел ввиду - выше медианного уровня.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@KyleMau Abundance of plastic ice cream you mean - no thanks.

@marcosagusstinn When china is winning competition and Europe is loosing, than "China is destroying". When it's the other way around "it's fair competition".

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@nexta_tv Some Russkie preachers need to go there to experience that themselves.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

People like @AngelicaOung keep selling Russia as some modern, superior model for humanity.

The video below is a small reminder of what that “superiority” looks like at ground level.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@AngelicaOung @aaronjmate Front lines are very far away from Crimea. If by " war zone" you mean drones, poverty and/or devastation, then the whole Russia is a war zone.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@AngelicaOung @aaronjmate I don't know what it is that you see, but I said Norilsk or Crimea, not Moscow.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@AngelicaOung @aaronjmate There's a joke in Russia after Moscow had been attacked recently, that Moscow has finally joined the international war between Russia and Ukraine. Moscow is not representative of Russia. As I said - go to Norilsk, or Crimea or any other real Russian city.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@AngelicaOung @aaronjmate Can you please visit Russia, Norilsk or Crimea, to learn a bit about what degradation is and what Russia wants to spread.

[Estepans Larks @rational_e]

@nicksortor Get them outta here. ;)
