Informative post, FRiend. I am sure the Russians in Odessa were exchange students. Didn’t you know camo, bullet proof vest and masks are the standard Russian student uniforms?
Our FRiend Ivan from Ukraine has made a good point in another thread. Russians and their supporters are no longer interested in debate. It’s all name calling and (real) bomb throwing. How typically Soviet of them.
The Russians are sadly mistaken if they think they can abuse Ukraine and no one fight back. There are many recent graves in that part of the world of patriots murdered by Russians. Ukraine is not alone. If they fight others will join them. Russia isn’t the only country that can play irregular warfare.
All of the propaganda about protecting the Russian language is highly offensive to those folks in Eastern Europe who had THEIR languages banned by Russian rulers MANY times over history. Russian chauvism of late is offending pretty much everybody over there. Superman Putin has a fight, if he wants it.
