New Satellite Images Hint How Russian Navy Could Use Massive Nuclear Torpedoes

Russians are a highly intelligent and highly organized people - and Putin is attempting to revive their traditional culture and religion, free from the influence of globalism and wokeism.

I'm married to a Russian (from the Donbas region of Ukraine), father to four half-Russian children, friends with the local Russian community, and have visited my wife's hometown on many occasions.

This effort to paint the Russians as adversarial is troubling and offensive. The average Russian on the street is more like us than different. They look like we do, dress like we do, celebrate most of the same Christian holidays that we do (albeit on different days). They are a friendly and joyful people, proud of their accomplishments. Young Russians are indistinguishable from young Americans. Same hairstyles, same clothes, same ugly tattoos, listen to the same music, watch the same TV shows, same movies.

They are a culture the shares the values we used to hold dear and should be one of our closest allies.

Her pin says it all. Let's be friends.

My wife has a close friend that is from Poland.

She grew up under communism and was lucky to have got out when she did.
Now, she says it is exactly the opposite of what it was. She does not trust the Russians yet for obvious reasons, but, absolutely HATES the Germans.

All her children are still in Poland...long story that.
She can speak 5 different languages very well.
