Thanks to Fuhrer Putin, our donkey is getting closer to its natural end. Russia is facing disintegration, like all known empires.
Don't be too sure. There are many Russians behind the restoration of its dwindling fortune and glory. You may see Putin in bad light, but the fact is that he has proven that Russia is not as weak as the West wanted the rest of the world to believe. Why I like Russia is that people have underestimated her for centuries and at each of those points, Russia had proven its detractors wrong. From Napoleon to Hitler to NATO. Thank goodness, president Trump didn't fall for NATO's whims.
What do you mean ill-wishers underestimated Russia? You forgot to mention that ill-wishers of Russia are those whom Russia attacked. Russia was also the first to attack Napoleon's France in the Battle of Austerlitz, when it suffered defeat. Russia lost all battles with Napoleon.
