>>15161661You will NEVER be a superpower!
You have no money, you have no toilets, you have no army. You are a glorified third world banana republic with nukes twisted by Chinese money into a crude mockery of a superpower.
All the "recognition" you get is from irrelevant third-worlders and your own puppet states. Behind your back even they mock you. Your neighbors are disgusted and ashamed of you, Serbia laugh at you behind closed doors.
Westerners are utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of years of state-building have allowed westerners to sniff out fraud shitholes with incredible efficiency. Even your cities that have high GDP look uncanny and unnatural like a rift in space. Your commieblocks are a dead giveaway. And even if you get some /pol/tard to compliment you, he'll turn tail and bolt the second Putin starts talking about evil fascists.
You will never be powerful. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll prep some rockets, launch the nukes, and plunge the world into WW3. Your descendants will find your ruins, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment of being Russian. Your cities will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is the nuclear winter.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
