    Eventually be caught on to the fact that many in the US gov would never accept his new capitalist Russia no matter how much he bent for them and conceded to them,

    It would be cool if he would take this knowledge and stop having a reactionary, queerphobic capitalist state. Maybe build a lil tiny percentage of communism?

      But unfortunately Putin was also chosen because he’s a reactionary and obviously favors capitalism. And that’s especially never gonna change now that he has acquired so much personal wealth.

      Basically he doesn’t disagree with most reactionary views that those in the West hold. They just refuse to accept him for partly racist, partly material reasons. The chances of him rebuilding any sort of communism in Russia is basically below zero though. I wish it weren’t true, but that’s reality.
