Why not. In the mean time USA Javelins will tend to their tanks. Screw Russia. They’re not going to have an impact. These are the words of a diminished power being revealed all over the world. Talk. That’s all they have now that UA has near dispensed with their Army. Talk…all they’ve ever had.

Yeah, it sure sounds like that whole Russia thing is a hoax.
Why don’t we see billboards with statements from Russian–and Chinese–officials telling the world which side they favor in the US elections? It’s about time to give the lie to all the accusations about Biden being manipulated by China, etc.

Sorry but I hate the Russian government and esp. their military as they cost me my hearing in Prague in 1968 (it’s quite a story). My hatred toward them will not change I expect.

Did you bring back any of that roasted pastry they do in Prague?

When I was a kid my train got stopped entering East Germany. I was in the bathroom and a Russian guard came in and slapped me about for not “cooperating” with them. So I pissed on that statue in the park they were so proud of.

I tend to agree with you. Still, he should be dealt with swiftly, severely and without further comment.

I had to flee the Russian invasion by getting to Austria ASAP. Prague was lovely until the Russian army showed up. Now I am left partly deaf all these years later from a fucking tank firing its cannon that day.

My question is now, and has been, how deep are the Repubs into Russian beliefs and opening our borders for them to take over.

At this point I can’t imagine how there are enough “undecided” voters for Russian interference to matter. People have made up their minds, and millions of votes have already been cast by absentee, VBM, or early voting.

OT, maybe, but some of you may have seen this:

If the goopers have gamed the polling averages in 7states, maybe things aren’t as bad for Dems as they seem to be. I guess we’ll find out.

Right after the fall of the USSR I did a Central Europe thing ( a Mozart trip ) . I was surprised at how many people in Prague wanted to go back to “communist times”. Last time I went though I didn’t meet anyone that had anything but contempt for Russia.

Russian tanks and artillery do not conform to international “muzzle break” rules. Get near one when it fires and you’re deaf.

Oligarchs, foreign or domestic, they are all of the same ilk, i.e. greedy, corrupt, fascist.
