She says her anti-virus software blocks images, which is laughable. I think it’s just a lie so she doesn’t see things that against her narrative.

The only thing that motivates them is to kill or injure Russians. Nothing else matters, including the Ukrainings who will be betrayed by Globohomo and end up with nothing but a ruined country that is 1/3 the size, hundreds of thousands dead, millions maimed.

All for the dream of joining a degenerate foreign Empire, that sensible people would be trying to get away from.

“During the 1980 Olympic games in Moscow, a Western journalist inquired whether the Soviet Union would participate in the first Paralympic games, scheduled to take place in Great Britain later that year. The reply from a Soviet representative was swift, firm, and puzzling: “There are no invalids in the USSR!”


The Ukrazies are caught in a time warp of the 1980’s.

The USSR of 1980 doesn’t exist anymore.

The USA of 1980 doesn’t exist anymore, either.

Because if it happened before 2008, it didn’t happen at all, according to millennials.

And for Freeper BoomerCon Cold War nostalgics, if it happened after 1983, it didn’t happen at all.

—”The USSR of 1980 doesn’t exist anymore.”

Some believe that the past, present, and future are all happening at the same time in different dimensions.

That said Putin and his minions want to restore the USSR to the good old days.

Leopards do not change their spots.

“Through interviews conducted in 2010 veterans of local wars in post-Soviet Russia claim to be the victims of violence on behalf of the State. They consider themselves as victims of negligence and bad treatement, often exposed to unnecessary risks on the battlefield. Once returned to civil life, they speak about rejection and abandonment. The symbolic, institutional, and social violence they describe appears to be particularly prevalant among disabled veterans, the group most in need of State support. Although the history of the Soviet Union demonstrates that lost wars lead to the social abandonment of veterans as much as victorious wars, the fate of disabled veterans seems to be conditioned by the cultural heritage of the Soviet period which glorifies a muscular body and favors work capacity as a criterion for
citizenship.”

In 2003, The All Russia Organization of Invalids of Afghanistan (joined also by Chechen veterans) conducted a survey among its members and found that 46% of them have an income only sufficient to meet basic needs; 90,7% have a difficult time finding a job; 87,7% have no professional qualification for use in civilian life; 50,7% have no apartment and will have to wait several years before getting one; 91,4% have receive no monetary allowance whatsoever. Half of the respondents had never been to hospital or to a sanatorium despite having obtained invalidity status.”

Yes, Russia should be ashamed of how they treat their veterans, and learn from the American example..., oh, wait..

https://www.yahoo.com/news/95-old-veteran-kicked-nursing-205910143.html

The difference is in Russia (despite their corruption) it is possible for them to actually solve problems and improve things. (eg Moscow in the 1990s vs now)

Who really things that the squalor of US cities will EVER improve under the current regime ?

Or that the VA will actually start operating better. (here is their priority)

I guess this is how the Ukrazies can believe that Ukraine is winning this war.

Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone and over with and things of the past. All they want is a quiet neighborhood without NATO or CIA manipulation and intervention. Just like the US likes to keep their backyard free of any intruders.

Huh? They've talked about officially annexing the parts of Georgia they're still occupying. They already took Crimea as their own. Now they're trying to take more big chunks of Ukraine.

These US hasn't taken Guatemala or Chili and turned em into new States, no? Not exactly the same..
