Russia removed itself from being a potential superpower of the world when they decided to hijack American electoral politics.
Indeed, it's the sunset of their potential presence. They Serbia status now.
Breh, Russia has NEVER been anywhere close to becoming a superpower. At best, their economy is the size of Texas, probably smaller.
They have never been close to being a superpower.
And tbh, one could argue that if they ever did get close, it was when they hijacked American democracy. If they had played their cards right, they could have used their control over Trump to make us a defacto vassal state of Russia.
That was the most power Russia has ever had.
And for clarity, please understand that Russia and USSR are not synonymous.
The USSR was a superpower. Russia has never been one.
