Vรกclav Havel first coined the term "post-totalitarian" to describe life under communism after the 1960s. The all controlling state and the ideological zeal was evaporating. So the communists created a distortion of reality that perpetuated an illusion of a continued totalitarianism in people's minds

India & China to back Russia in its invasion of Europe, will increase trade and manufacturing to make up for current losses. Together theyโll make sanctions obsolete and provide equipment / resources needed by Russian forces. Unknown the level of intelligence & manpower either country will provide.

Remember that it cost Russia 1 million casualties and 1 000 days to occupy 1 percent of Ukraine, and now the pace have gone down with 20 percent. So, instead of it taking 240 years and 100 million casualties to occupy Ukraine, it will now take 290 years and 120 million casualties.
