Calling Trump America’s Khrushchev implies that an American Gorbachev exists in the future, giving up capitalism for communism.
I think the idea that capitalism has about 30 years left in the US is pretty sensible.
Wouldn’t Reagan be the American Krushchev?
That makes more sense. Trump is more like America’s Gorbachev.
But if this is Gorbachev, I can only imagine what the American Yeltsin will be…
That was actually what I thought a little while back as well, but not in the same context of doing a pivot and abandoning the ally.

The nails in the coffin of my fever dream that Putin embrace communism getting heavily pounded this morning before daylight, with this post and one (from you, no less!) I read just prior.
Best to be completely disabused of the notion and get on with dealing with reality, rather than waste much time grieving the dream, I suppose!
Yeah, I don’t think USSR is coming back, and I’m not expecting United Russia to go communists. But, I do expect the fact that China, DPRK, and Vietnam are now the main allies of Russia will have a political effect in the long term.
The KPRF is the second biggest party and most Russians today are pro-USSR so internal conditions make a slide towards some good stuff possible as well.
my thinking exactly
