If it was better than fine then why did they leave?

Because they thought they could do even better.
Russian Federation was in deep shit and was not able to support smaller republics anymore in any way.
So they all left. In case of Ukraine they had substantial and more less modern industrial base they thought they could do well with. Russian part of Ukraine was not too keen going back to Russia, and there were not much well organized ukro-nazism at that time.

In USSR Russia was the main donor GDP/spending wise. Ukraine-Belarus were roughly parity with Ukraine getting slightly more than they contribute and Belarus slightly less. Central Asia and Caucasus were both dead weight, contributing nothing and getting some a lot, some very little.
Baltic republics were contributing roughly the same (per capita) as Russia but were receiving twice more.
Baltic republics were used to show capitalists how great socialism was. I had/have relatives in one of the Baltic Republic.
As far as the rest of USSR concerned Baltic Republics were Western Europe in quality of life (during hey days of USSR, not in the end)

"Russian Federation was in deep shit and was not able to support smaller republics anymore in any way."
That doesn't sound like "better than fine" to me.

The republics aren't going to leave from a lack of support. They're only going to leave if being part of Russia is a negative for them.

Yeah, that's what they did in 1991. They were fine with getting money from Russia while it lasted. The moment it stopped they left. Some friends, right?

Holy cow, is that the topic of the thread?

I THINK this is sarcasm directed at me. But I thought the segment captured the campaign essentials pretty well, and is MORE on-topic than most posts.

This is going to sting the marmalade moron:

Poll Ranks Biden as 14th-Best President, With Trump Last

President Biden may owe his place in the top third to his predecessor: Mr. Biden’s signature accomplishment, according to the historians, was evicting Donald J. Trump from the Oval Office.

www.nytimes.com

A new poll of historians coming out on Presidents’ Day weekend ranks Mr. Biden as the 14th-best president in American history, just ahead of Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan and Ulysses S. Grant. While that may not get Mr. Biden a spot on Mount Rushmore, it certainly puts him well ahead of Mr. Trump, who places dead last as the worst president ever.

Fake poll. Very unfair. Deep State. Biden Crime Family. They don’t like the greatest President ever.

Trump's GoFundMe has raised almost half a million! Nobody else could do that! Only $354.5 million to go!

Meanwhile on How in the heck does the average American compare a contemporary President with President Grant...

 

[Worldtraveller]

The poll was of historians, so in theory, they had some actual knowledge of the topic, unlike much of the marmelade stain's minions.

No--it's that they didn't want to be there in the first place. Moscow couldn't hold onto them anymore, they left. Same thing that happened to the British empire.

No, that's not what happened at all.
