[Poison Pill]

The Russians invaded a sovereign country which they are now tearing apart. This war is optional and then can stop and retreat at any time. The Russian people cheered in 2014 when Putin invaded Crimea and I suspect they would have cheered if Putin’s Ukraine invasion had been a quick success. Russia has a 500+ year history of paranoia and aggression toward its neighbors. The “good” Russian people have accepted hundreds of years of pogroms, invasions and warfare against others with ox-like placidity. It doesn’t seem to bother them. Now they are getting the screws turned to them by the west. If they don’t like Putin, they know what to do.

You're accepting Joek's rule, Poison - so I won't feel bad when Progressive bungholes like Arthur Caplan find out you're a Trump supporter, and cut you, your parents and your kids off from your bank accounts and necessary medicines.

After all, like the Russian people - you accepted it.

I remember seeing last week some of the Russian Soldiers phoning family members back home in Mother Russia.   The son was crying and telling his mother how bad it was in the Ukraine.   His mother replied that they are saying on TV the Russian Soldiers are liberating Kiev.

Our government and media lie to us too.   Please think about that PP, and pray for the Russians too.

So did Crimeans, who never asked to be part of an independent Ukraine to begin with.
