We’re already there.

Think about what happens if you discuss, say, election fraud, on youtube or facebook?

What about deaths and heart ailments from mRNA vaccines?

I just heard yesterday that Fox News personnel are forbidden from mentioning election fraud, because the rest of the media will point and say “See, Faux News!”

No one seems to care about whether we’ll ever have a fair election agian. And the real disinformation occurs in a vacuum of allowing others to have their say, no matter how looney it sounds to others.

Nah, I’m thru waiting for “It to come.” It’s here.

I am naturally an optimist, believe in real science, technology and progress of humanity, etc.

But I am so jaded nowadays...

Dang. This should read:

Don’t be silly.

I said ‘own’, not ‘govern’. Two different things.

don’t realize they have managed to get the Russians and Chinese who were played off against one another quite well in the Cold War, to unite as allies against the US and Europe.

Marriage of convenience at best, illusory. China is the tarbaby of diplomacy, and the Russians know it as well as anyone.

I think Russia’s been doing a pretty good job of “owning” itself lately.

“The West intends to own Russia and all it's territories and resources.”

If the west wanted to own russia, 30 years ago the whole crap could be bought for less than $100 billion.

No, they are all connected back to the Soviet Union... Russia hasn’t been sponsoring terrorists. They beat back our ISIS rebels, they warned us about the Boston Bombers, and they fought a very hard war against Chechyn separatists.

Soviet Union was bad, Russia has been a decent nation. Building churches and opposing terrorism.

“So local terror groups are cool.”

Sometimes, yes. Or are you still pining to bow to the King of England?

“No, they are all connected back to the Soviet Union... Russia hasn’t been sponsoring terrorists.”

Russia is still actively supporting some to this day. Hezbollah, for example. Or their Chechnyan “allies”.

“they fought a very hard war against Chechyn separatists”

Only until they were able to bring the Chechnyans back into the fold and then deploy them for terror purposes against others, as they are doing now.

“Soviet Union was bad, Russia has been a decent nation.”

For a few years, then they let Putin get in and screwed it up. Since then they’ve started more wars than any other country on the planet in recent history. And yes, that includes the USA that you love to badmouth.

What country is Africa did the US try to overthrow from Russian sphere of influence last year, and lost?

Why is there now a reble fraction ready to wage war in Bosnia against Russian interests?

Ukraine is one of three open conflicts the NEOCONs started.

Russia was supposed to collaspe, but rather they have managed their decline and pushed back against NATO in Ukraine.

The NWO has control of the USA thru the Democrats. Does it make you feel good to be a NWO flunky?

Everything you think and know about Russia and Ukraine were brought to you by the MSM or CIA or DNC. The DNC controls America and her MSM. Your hatred of Russia begins with MSM grooming since 2015 for the most part. If you are an Old Timer like me who spent 38 years defending our Country or in the State Department, you might remember America fights wars abroad against others for our own interests or gain. If Russia supports something, a nation or proxy, we support the other side. Tit for tat.

Freeper’s should be ashamed that they beleive the Russian hate line from our MSM over the past 8 eights.... We know the MSM lies forver and evermore.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Possible but I’d put that in the science fiction column until pale, redheaded, freckled faced people start dropping for no reason.

And they are watching their two biggest rivals destroy one another and they don’t have to lift a finger and we are stupid enough to fall right in line with it.

No, not really, but keep making foolish assumptions.

“We know the MSM lies forver and evermore.”

But apparently you have forgotten that Pravda and RT and all their little bloggers also constantly and forever lie too.

Even people posting here have agendas, narratives, and points to make, often clothed in insults and viscousness viciousness, innuendo and above all politics.

...and then there are those doughty few fighting an uphill battle against poor orthography.

The west has no such aim.

Russia or rather The Kremlin wants to recreate the Tsardom of Muscowy

I think your Biden master is calling you.

Probably feeling overprotective since your Ukrainian bffs are besting up your youth.

Nah, Biden and Putin are paedo buddies. You may call them masters as you do, but the rest of us see them both as the joint evil.

Putin as the Nazi dictator crushing Russians for the past 23 years and Biden as a wannabe Putin

“Putin as the Nazi dictator crushing Russians...”

That’s why he has a huge approval rating and in all of my visits there he was very much loved by Russians I met and lived with...he has terrific leadership skills and is an economic genius.

Your posts here are just more Russophobe garbage from predictable corners of the world....a country renowned for being russophobic.

Does it never occur to you how foolish you appear when there are many many credible Russian videos, etc, proving how ridiculous this statement is?

I really tire of debating foreigners here.
Can you not go post your lies on forums in your own country?

Its more rewarding for me to stay on US topics here now.
And be with fellow Americans. You can id those of you who live in other countries by your complete absence there.
