As a boy in the 1960s, I heard a visiting Polish great uncle describe Russian rule in rural south Poland after “liberation” from the Nazis as worse than rule by the Nazis. In essence, he said that the Nazis would steal but the Russians and communists would steal and then kill. Years later, as a retired farmer, he became a secret courier for Rural Solidarity and was beaten to death by the communist secret police.

I had an elderly Balt tell me pretty much the same thing. The big difference between Nazi & Russian Soviet\Communist oppression was the Communist required you to believe the oppression was good for you. The stealing and killing was in your best interests!

Boy I never thought I would hear words of support for Communists on this site.

Pathetic isn't it? One would have thought that after Trump the filthy neoconunists would crawl back under their rocks, but here they are cheering biden and the eurocommies on.

Funny how you never hear a peep from them on the threads where the commies are grabbing dutch farms, or more recently Kerry voicing a desire to do the same in the U.S....

Do you mean a rag-tag force of prisoners and malcontents just defeated the best of the US/NATO?

That's not what Prigozhin said. He was reported to have said:

"On the afternoon of May 20, Artemovsk, the last section of the so-called Samolet high-rise building, was completely taken," Prigozhin said.

So he actually claimed the capture of a section of a building. We have all watched the Russians go from claiming 3 days to victory to 3 days to a section of a high rise building in the 58th largest city in Ukraine.

It's pretty clear that the Russian main effort is to capture the entirety of Donestk oblast.

More Russian coping. Is that why the Russian army sacrificed tens of thousands of men and thousands of tanks and other vehicles fighting and withdrawing from other areas across Ukraine?

Borscht is the national dish of Ukraine.

Approximate situation around Bakhmut:

6 months after street battles began, 🇷🇺 forces have occupied the city, taking the last 🇺🇦 stronghold in the west.

🇺🇦 troops may still hold some buildings in the very southwest as the last of their troops withdraw.

Now, there you go again!

What an idiotic statement.

If it's only the 58th-largest city, why in the world has Zelensky the clown made numerous visits to the place and spent/wasted the lives of thousands upon thousands of Uke soldiers in losing the city to the rag-tag group of prisoners?

Get real!

Russia is the enemy? Look at China?

Russia is the enemy. And they are strong allies with China. You think just because Obama kissed up to Russia they are our friend? That is ultranaive.

Let's not go crazy and pretend Russia is a friend of the U.S. or a moral country. Just because Obama loved Putin.

Obama tells Medvedev (Microphone to Putin) he will have "more flexibility" after election

Borscht is a Ukrainian dish. It originated there. The Ashkenazy were kind enough to then spread it far and wide.

Did you matriculate the same clown school as Zelzo?

Broadly, the same Leftist methods are at work in the US today, with cruel and foolish policies endlessly promoted and propagandized via the news media, Big Tech, Wall Street, and the education establishment.

Diversity -- meaning racial preference for blacks -- is good for all! White Supremacists are the greatest terror threat and must be suppressed! High taxes and government spending benefit everyone! The George Floyd riots were peaceful demonstrations against injustice! Trans operations on children are life-affirming! Illegal migrants are simply fleeing oppression for a better life!

The First Amendment and freedom of speech and thought are being rapidly eroded, with dissent from such policies often openly punished. The theft is becoming more blatant and is on the precipice of becoming settled blue state and Democratic federal policy in the form of tolerance of crime and soon race-based wealth taking via reparations. The killing and brutality are still at the margins, committed by non-state actors tacitly encouraged by Leftist policies, but it is easy enough to imagine worse to come.
