"It turns out the Soviets — er, the Russians — won. The U.S. has become Russia, not the other way around. The U.S. lost the Cold War — not to communism, but to autocracy."
Classic liberal establishment claiming that the Soviets and the Russian Federation are the same thing and that they were/are still an autocracy! The United states winning the Cold War was a victory for capitalist oligarchy which in a sense is really a loss for the entire country/world as a whole. We are about to go through self-imposed Shock therapy.
