Putin is not Stalin 2.0?
They call all news from the Ukraine that does not put Russia in a favorable light “propaganda”. But the murders, rapes, and robberies in the Russian occupied areas near Kiev cannot be exaggerated. My Ukrainian wife was crying today at her friend’s reports of the true situation. The violation of pre-pubescent girls was absolutely commonplace.

That’s horrible. Hope your wife’s family is safe. Keep us posted.
LOL! Somebody just noticed? Putin’s cynertroopers have been supporting the “Climate Change” meme since Obama’s first term.
😉👌👍
I don’t want to give Vice the clicks.
Another source?
No matter the source, I tend these days to stop reading when I see the word “baseless”. The word has been ruined by the US media as they described everything related to election fraud, the Biden family pay-to-play operation, deaths from so called “vaccines”, temperature and climate data rigging, etc. as “baseless” accusations. The word is editorial judgement, not news.
More likely they’re telling us AzovNazis are hiding under every bed in Ukraine.
No, you are not a gullible fool, far from it. Just an employee.
I have lots of Russians living near me, they all fled the Communism
It’s not much of a stretch to believe that the same people that would bomb residential housing in mass and shoot civilians trying to flee, would perform some rapes.
If Putin ever really thought Ukrainians and Russians were one people, Putin has completely destroyed that. It will many decades before Ukraine forgives Russia.
NATO could never have isolated Russia, the way Putin has isolated Russia.
As you know, I spent most of a decade in predominantly Moscow beginning in 1991.
Lots of pertinent info there...
As backdrop to the experience I going to speak of, it needs to be understood, within the framework of the Russian Federation and subordinate CIS, the Russian government requires controlling interest in ALL corporations and trusts business ventures.
As well, they determine and “sign off” on all parameters related to the investment. Lots of shocking examples here, including violence, but not the point of this.
Years ago, there were half dozen times I walked in to pay “internet bill”, (”Russian internet startups), where the internet startup company had a large room, and the room would be full of FSB reading communications and going through everyone’s visit history and *email accounts.
Being the doofus I was, I walked up to a desk, and asked the guys going through everyone’s personal accounts if they could show me one of my personal accounts — not only did they, they had already gone through it, and were monitoring that specific hotmail accoint!
They thought it was funny.
This may sound far out there, but in 1997, I went to pay our private account, and walked into an office full of FSB (again), and noticed a couple of screens with little ol FreeRepublic —
They weren’t even trying to hide it. They just smiled and went back to whatever they were looking for, *or working on.
This incident was in late 1997.
Totally anecdotal again, I know...
Apologize for the many mistakes!

Interesting. But not surprising.
