Preparing for the Final Collapse of the Soviet Union and the Dissolution of the Russian Federation

 

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev as president of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the start of the USSR’s collapse—but not the collapse itself. While the USSR ceased to exist as a legal entity after 1991, the collapse of the USSR is still happening today. The two Chechen Wars, Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008, Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, the on-and-off border skirmishes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and the 2020 Second Karabakh War between Armenia and Azerbaijan are just a few examples showing that the Soviet Union is still collapsing today.

However, future historians will likely describe Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine as the most consequential moment, if not the final moment, of the Soviet Union’s collapse. When the war in Ukraine will end is unknown, but it will likely mark the dissolution of the Russian Federation (the legal successor of the Soviet Union) as it is known today. Russia has undeniably suffered a major blow to its economy, devastation to its military capability, and degradation of its influence in regions where it once had clout. The borders of the Russian Federation will likely not look the same on a map in 10 or 20 years as they do now. As the final collapse of the Soviet Union plays out and as the Russian Federation faces the possibility of dissolving, policymakers need to start planning for the new geopolitical reality on the Eurasian landmass.

 

The goal of this policy memo is not to advocate for regime change in Russia—this will be a matter for the Russian people. …

When my esteemed colleague @LukeDCoffey published this memo, he got endlessly attacked for even thinking that a Russian civil war is a possible scenario & that policymakers should be prepared.

 

Many should read it, and at least for once, adopt the Hudson way of thinking out of the box:

Elvis the underage sex predator: Laid bare

in a string of interviews, the King's disturbing obsession with very young girls — which his stepbrother even claims led him to take his own life, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

 

When Elvis Presley cracked a joke, funny or not, his gang of bodyguards and hangers-on would howl with laughter.

 

A favourite one-liner — a gag he repeated throughout his life — was 'Fourteen will get you 20!'

 

He meant that, if he was found having sex with a 14-year-old girl, he faced 20 years in prison. But that threat didn't stop him having a constant stream of sexual relationships with teenagers, from the early days of his fame in the 1950s right up to his death, aged 42.

 

The impossibility of lasting love, as well as the guilt of having sex with under-age girls, drove him to despair — and, according to the man who knew him best, became so unbearable that he killed himself.

 

Now a three-part Amazon documentary, Elvis's Women, exposes his predatory behaviour.This could be the #MeToo moment that destroys the Elvis legacy.
