Is this the shitest death of a empire/country ever?

I have to admit the fall of the USSR was underwhelming. Inevitable, but a disappointing end. Considering how utterly crazy the 20th century had been, for it all to kind of just fizzle out like this is a joke.
>>
It's a good thing because it showed communism collapsed without a single bullet shot. It literally fell because it was a retarded system, yet retards still claim it could work.
>>
>>1892518
USSR wasen't really communist and the commies are right when they say communism has never been tried.
however the so call "commie" states shows that communism is unachevable and allways end up as either state capitalist like china or a totalitarian shithole like stalinist or maoist era soviet union and china or modern day DPRK

In the past 60 years or so, Africa has seen some crazy shit go down. Rwanda in particular has a damn interesting military history. Can't remember where but I've seen it compared to Prussia before.
