TBF they could be referring to the fact that the Ukrainian conflict is slowly but actively weakening imperialism globally, which lays the groundwork for the USSR’s return. They probably don’t mean this when they say Putin’s building USSR 2.0—why would they say Putin is doing it—but I like to be optimistic.
Industrializing without help from already industrialized nations tends to be messy and horrendous for the environment! Who would’ve guessed? Its not like the country that’s been developing the most green infrastructure, energy, and industry is socialist or anything.
