And in case your time machine isn't working, present day Russia should do just fine. I also hear they have loads of job opportunities there.

So many of these Trump fans were alive during the cold War yet actually do somehow think Russia is doing things right currently despite their current practices being the antithesis of traditional American values that the GOP claims to hold so dear. It's mezmorizing.
The cold war was against communism; modern Russia is super capitalist and corrupt, which is what the right wing wants
It's Russia's psy-ops being extremely fucking good at their job. I'm just glad they're nowhere near as good at real war.
Short term job opportunities. Must be an organ donor to apply.
I like how you're implying Trump would annex Russia to the greater American empire.
the only thing that makes it "satire" is the 1930's part..
Weren't they at war in the 1930s??? I mean not with other countries. This had nothing to do with WWII.
They were fighting against emus.....and LOSING. Yes, the bird, emus. Lost a war.....to birds. Whose only tactic was "when they shoot at us, we RUN!"
That's Australia, not Austria.
Oh shit. I misread that.
Well it's Austrias fault. That would be like if Hawaii were named Camada and expect people will always read it as intended. Should just get their own damn name. Plus, Hitler came from Austria. They should have changed their name in 1946. Been like "Sorry guys, thats our bad."
TBF to Osterreich, in their native tongue it's a different large flightless bird whose name they've stolen.
Yeah, it should really be called the Eastern Kingdoms in English.
Is that The Smoking Man from the X-files?
