USSR

The world would be very different. We went from a bipolar world of the friends of the USA vs the friends of USSR to a unipolar world of just the USA in the 90s. Without an enemy to fight, fragile coalitions like Yugoslavia and basically the entire middle east have exploded into bickering factions.

The world would arguably be more stable with the USSR to be our boogeyman.

Anyone else wanna talk about the world reverting into regional powers instead of the US being unopposed militarily any time any where in the world?

Trump will likely move us in that direction. It's one of the only things I'm hopeful about actually.

Hopefully. Who knows. I still don't think even he is taking himself seriously.

Mostly by WWI era funding of some elements that brought horse thieves in charge.

> Would the world be any different if it still did?
of course
The EU would never be as influential as it is now for example.

Russia has been very internal since the 90s, the USSR was constantly seeking to expand. The world was basically divided between the USSR and USA, but on the other hand Russia was just Russia and the rest was basically USA after the USSR fell.

wew lad I think you made a mistake on your map there

remember how finns singlehandedly beat back the soviet union while the rest of the world capitulated like a bunch of bitches and was never conquered?

we are celebrating 99 years of unbroken independence tomorrow after all.

Those were all in the last 5 years or so. Chechnya was in the 90s right? Forgot to mention them I know they have had a significant rebellion since Putin.
