@rauths probably yes he was already doomed, but it's actually pretty unclear w/ a society like that, which was so skillfully kept down for all of modernity, approx 100 ish years or 130 or 150 years which finally had a small middle class that was comfortable relative the past. That sort of powerstructure can go on a long time, very long when it's a resource rich country like Ru truly is, diverse mineral and petro. So it's hard to say. I need to read more about the basics to have a valid opininion though, including some by Ms. Paine, who is really phenomenal in strategy/history. But basically after learning a lot these past three years via Silicon Curtain and its guests, and various articles and books; and being middle aged and a mere 13/14 (1983) when Ru reached its peak threat including bonafide nuclear threat (unlike today which is not an actual nuke threat bcuz of two factors: Ru lacks ability to operate even remotely near a nuked zone, due to not having the Ussr's updated equipment, know-how, etc, but namely it's too costly to do so, and the damages and uselessness of land thereafter and inabilty to get Ru's to migrate to such new areas, e.g. in Ukr after would be nuked, etc etc);;; And the time factor, i.e the nuke threat tween Ussr /US was a phenom that holds far far less water than during the Cold War when there was actually a longstanding legitimate struggle which stemmed from WW2 itself, i.e that war didn't end until the 1989-1994 period.
