There is a very concerted attack from USA on Russian interests in Ukraine. The events and "news" are being shaped to bring about a particular outcome.
Mr
@jouni has a viewpoint but he seems to be uninformed. He goes more about feelings and opinions rather than by facts.
The fact is Anglo American empire is imperialistic despite its success. The USSR was people centric despite its failure.
As a student of Veda for last 7 years, I know the reason very clearly. The Veda defines four classes in which Brahmin is put on the top. Brahmin is the intellectual. Kshatriya is below Brahmin who is warrior. So Vedas put highest emphasis on intellect. USSR's socialism failed to implement Vedic model so it failed.
Vedic classes is based on qualities and qualification and not by birth. When Indian society swayed from Vedic class system by implementing it by birth, the society started to decline.
