The Kremlin mafia and elite draining Russian blood, has been dismantled twice already by the Russian people. First in 1917, then again in 1991. The third revolution in Russia is coming, and way sooner than anyone expect...

Well, let’s be a bit honest. Every country does that at one time or another.

"Yep, Vietnam comes to mind."

And that was a proxy war we were fighting with Russia and China, just like the Ukraine war is yet another proxy war with Russia. You'd think after 71 years, this country would be tired of being involved in proxy wars. Maybe the military industrial complex and their investors are looking toward a 100 anniversary celebration.
