not so. they're pro-anything that impedes russia, which includes infighting. if the us had another civil war, many of us would certainly support it.
i know what you mean, but the israeli military has been able to defeat peer-ish opponents militarily.
why not? the us economy will still be a significant portion of the size of china's.
china's ppp surpassed the us in 2014, yes. nominal, if it happens, is projected at around 2028 or later.
i don't think china's nominal gdp is surpassing the us's in only 1 year.
infrastructure is one thing, but technology is quite another. where do you think the weapons the us used to invade countries came from?
hundreds of thousands is still a lot, and mass executions/murder are surely not healthy for a country, even if those are people with dangerous beliefs. imprisonment or reeducation would be more humane. i would also hope that they were given fair trials before their punishments.
is this just atrocity propaganda, or was stalin actually a mass murderer? deleting someone from a photograph is not a good sign.
