Lol. The media in Russia says the same about the USA.

Russians are used to revolution. Some do it as a hobby. "Is Sunday? Call Jeffrey, we go revolt!"

Americans are too cowed to revolt. Sure, there's marches and twitter posts, but look at all the shit that's happened since Trump got in, up to and including federal agents murdering people in the street as part of their gulag-filling tasks, and a complete coverup of child rape by TPTB. If that hasn't led to revolution in the US yet, nothing will.

If they revolt it will be only to install some even crazier, more bloodthirsty guy as a leader.

What's your basis for saying this?

If any it will be a KGB coup.

The KGB hasn't existed since 1991.

I think revolution has finally been beaten out of the Russian people

I wish I believed that, but until I see evidence to the contrary, I am quite convinced that Putin’s regime has the civil situation well in hand.
