Very touching video of a cute young Russian girl singing with the RAC. The song is about lonely soldiers at the front. (Also a double meaning I think with her name being Katusha.)
The RAC was on their way to do sort of a Bob Hopeski’s Christmas Special visit to the troops in Syria.
This video is not new, I doubt she was on the plane, I hope these guys weren’t either, but God bless them all. I never hated the Russians, just Communism.

“Also a double meaning I think with her name being Katusha.”
Please explain. I did some research and didn’t come up with much. I’ve got four granddaughters and the thought of that beautiful girl being lost is heartbreaking. Please see my post #26
The Russians are in the oil/gas-rich Middle East primarily as part of Putin's long-range goal to bring back the evil empire that was the Soviet Union, or something similar to it, communist or not.
I never hated the Russians, just Communism.
I don't hate the Russian people either. Whether their leaders are genuinely done with Communism remains to be seen. It is conceivable that what they've done over the past several decades in terms of "reform" is merely a grand deception. Point is they are still basically a totalitarian dictatorship. And still very much evil and expansionist, and an obvious threat to their neighbors.
Again from the Oct 5, 2016 VP debate...
MIKE PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.
