I don't know how to say it, but the russian military needs a drastic overhaul.

8. I understand and agree with much of what you've posted...

just one correction. You said "This whole socialist culture" wrt to corruption. The Russian Federation is not a socialist country/system. They are an authoritarian kleptocracy, as I understand it, or maybe just extreme capitalism. The USSR wasn’t a socialist system, either, although they claimed to be.

There aren’t any countries that are practicing Marx or Lenin’s definition because, imo, that kind of socialism is unworkable, as all utopian schemes have proven to be so far. The closest thing to that ideal that does exist is probably the democratic socialism in places like Denmark, Norway and Bolivia (maybe).

Just a point of information.

PS: I don’t want the Russians to fix their military any time soon!
