Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits warn that the delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) may covertly place mines at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but there is so much more happening in this clip, even some criticism of the gov't. Awkward moments.

1. Seems many Russians have an exaggerated opinion of...

their middling level economy/country. I guess because they have the largest land mass, much of it useless tundra, they think it's them against the rest of the world and they are equal in power.

They should know better after Putin's failed gambit into Ukraine has shown their once-vaunted army to be only second, maybe just third rate.

2. Russian economy

Well their economy is almost as big as Italy's, or at least was until all the sanctions. Of course, they don't produce the famous brands and labels that the Italians do. And they have 2 1/2 times Italy's population. Think bombs and tanks broken down on the side of the road.

3. Yes, I guess many still have memory of when the USSR...

was considered so powerful and the counter balance to the US. Turns out that was more illusion than fact as the arms race broke them and the Soviet Union fell apart.

If they would stop invading other countries—most recently Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Afghanistan —maybe they could build an economy commensurate to what they envision theirs to be.

They should also get rid of the guy in the Kremlin who sees himself as Peter the Great 2.0.

4. Except they listen to Russian state TV. It's like Fox, but worse. nt

6. It's the whole culture...

A social engineering project gone wrong. From their education, entertainment and media, it's all fashioned to continue their big lie.
