Putin's not a commie. If he was, the Slow Joe regime and their propagandists would love him.

I know high-functioning autists all too well.
Smaland noticed how everyone was laughing at him for his belief that Putin was planning to one day take Alaska. Even people who otherwise jump on anything that is anti-Russia were like, "Yeah, this is retarded" and decided not to say anything instead of hitching their wagons just as here they're not willing to hitch their wagons because it's embarrassing. This thread is an attempt to show Russia is a real threat to everyone and their mother. You better take Smaland seriously.
Why would Putin apologize for being in the KGB? First of all, that would be a sign of weakness. Secondly, people who spend their lives in an organization, such as the KGB, CIA, Gestapo, or whatever don't look back and say, "Yeah, I spent decades doing horrible shit." What they do is rationalize their behavior with the organization in which they spent their adult life. They justify their behavior to themselves.
The fall of the Soviet Union in the psyche of many Russians is associated with economic collapse and a big drop in the standard of living (it was already tough and so just imagine). They suffered under Communism and they suffered even more after the collapse. A sharp rise in crime, drug addiction, etc. The economic collapse of the Soviet Union was eventually going to happen because Communism sucks. However, many Russians remember life right before the collapse, which was bearable, to a sudden drop in quality of life.
What's also of importance is that with the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia became irrelevant for over a decade expect if you wanted to buy weapons in the black market or wanted strippers. It was embarrassing to the Russian people.
Putin is a dictator but he's not a Soviet dictator, and nor does he want to recreate the Soviet Union or have a Russian empire. What allowed the Soviets to have satellites in Eastern Europe was Poland, etc. were devastated after WW2 AND these nations had a large communist element that was armed and had fought the Germans. They had goodwill towards the Soviets. Goodwill toward Russia doesn't exist today. To believe Russia will want to take over Eastern Europe is just ignorance. Even if they wanted to do so they don't have the manpower or support of the locals that would be necessary to hold. It would be a constant guerilla fight if they had the numbers.

This is so patently false that it's hilarious. These Eastern European countries became communist after brutal occupation by the red army, not out of any kind of goodwill. Communism wasn't popular before the red army occupation in any of these satellite states. Did you get this piece of historical knowledge from Tucker's Putin interview? Lmao. But I see that you're trying to prove with this that fear of Russian invasion is irrational, because it never happened in the past (according to you). But I agree it won't come to this. They're having enough of a hard time with Ukraine as it is.

I'm speaking of the communist elements in these nations. I'm not speaking of the average person. It's very clearly shown the two sentences you placed in bold. Did the Russians place people of their own ethnic group in power in Poland, Romania, etc.? No, they put local Communists in power.
You didn't even understand what I said because your English comprehension is shit and like most morons you don't read what is written but interpret with your personal baggage.Lmao. But I see that you're trying to prove with this that fear of Russian invasion is irrational, because it never happened in the past (according to you).
EDIT: I take back my insult because I can see that someone can possibly think one or another. I should have used a semicolon for clarity.
And I should have said significant unstead of large.
What I'm trying to prove, dumb fuck, is that not only aren't the Russians moving into nations that are devastated from a major war and so they're easy pickings for a foreign army to take control but there isn't an element in these Eastern European societies that would provide the support needed to hold these countries. They would have to completely rely on Russia's own manpower, which wouldn't have been sufficient back then as it wouldn't be sufficient today.
The above is a good example when you're right for the wrong reasons. They don't want Eastern Europe. It would be a headache to administer if they could for reasons already pointed out.But I agree it won't come to this. They're having enough of a hard time with Ukraine as it is.
