Furthermore, the rambam says that moshiach will fight our enemies “misaviv,” surrounding eretz yisroel. Eretz yisroel was not conquered by Torah jews, and it is continuously surrounded by non-defeated arab countries.
Chabad decided that THE enemy was the Soviet union, thus drawing a target around an arrow once it was shot. They also have zero evidence that the Lubavitcher rebbe brought down the Soviet union. It actually happened quite naturally; it had a failed economic model and the US put tremendous pressure on it. Claiming to have brought it down single handedly requires faith in the Lubavitcher rebbes words, which essentially means to believe him because he’s right.
All of klall yisroel were davening for the fall of the Soviet union. And so it fell, without open nissim.
And what happened to the millions of jews who were in russia after the war? Almost all of them were lost. Not very messianic, is it? Shouldn’t moshiach bring those jews back Edited
