NEW YORK (AP) — Soprano Anna Netrebko withdrew from her future engagements at the Metropolitan Opera, costing the company one of its top singers and best box-office draws.

“It is a great artistic loss for the Met and for opera,” Met General Manager Peter Gelb said in a statement Thursday. “Anna is one of the greatest singers in Met history, but with Putin killing innocent victims in Ukraine, there was no way forward.”

“I wonder how long until my wife and son are kicked out of America for being Russian!”

Camps are being readied now. At least many gullible NPC Americans are hoping for that.

The level of collective blame and collective punishment being thrown around is disgusting. USSR was the enemy in my day - even then Russian people were not vilified as they are now.

Today the Hate Engine is out of control.

So does Joe and Hunter Biden who got $3.5 from Moscow and won’t ban Russian oil. They are compromised.

“I am opposed to this senseless war of aggression and I am calling on Russia to end this war right now, to save all of us. We need peace right now,” she said. - Anna Netrebko

Not a good time to be a Russian-Uranium [sic] dual citizen.

I know! It’s even alive on FR. I’ve had a few arguments in the past week. It’s absolutely disgusting behavior around the country, and even worse that it is happening here on FR.

Were their non-Russian employees required to denounce Putin? I ask because discrimination against employees based on their national origin is against federal law.

“National origin discrimination involves treating people (applicants or employees) unfavorably because they are from a particular country....”

This is becoming psychotic.

It's like 1914 all over again.

"There is a grotesqueness about so many soft-handed grown men, who've never been punched in the face, have no decent scars, and haven't done a day of hard labor in their lives, Twitter-howling for blood in Ukraine like the most effete Roman spectators at a gladiator match."

This is ridiculous. She is very good; and, as far as I know, non-political.

Kraft’s Russian Dressing removed from store shelves.

Which itself is laughable as it's Russian in name only and made here in the U.S. by multiple US Owned companies.

Cancel culture again shows it's blind stupidity.

Complete insanity.

However, if some Muslims carry out terror, everyone is out front defending Islam as the religion of peace.

What is the difference?
