A Soviet-era joke has resurfaced in Russia as Putin cracks down on anyone - even children - daring to question his war. And it sums up a new error of terror that rekindles dark memories of Stalin, says BBC's former man in Moscow

Vladimir Putin's police state has become so repressive that a popular joke from Soviet times has resurfaced and been repurposed for those Russians today who dare to acknowledge the truth about the autocratic regime they are living under.

It tells the story of two FSB (successor of the KGB) agents who are having a beer after work. The first one, Ivan, says to his colleague, 'Tell me, Dmitry. What do you really think about Putin?' and Dmitry replies, 'The same as you do.' Ivan thinks for a moment and says: 'In that case, it is my duty to arrest you.'

I would just like to say — for no reason at all — that I think Joe Biden is a most excellent president.

This pure fiction, just like the claims by the Daily Mail that Putin was dead and using a body double. Or had stomach, thyroid and blood cancer.

Two FBI agents are having a beer after work. The first one, Bob, says to his colleague, 'Tell me, Andy. What do you really think about January 6th?' and Andy replies, 'The same as you do.' Bob thinks for a moment and says: 'In that case, it is my duty to arrest you.'

The rules are, that any bad news that comes out of Russia is fake news. Both sides are run by nothing more than a dictator.

That’s a double shovel full today. Why don’t you concern yourself with the police state you’re living in. DC Gulag, I was disenfranchised in ‘20. Oh that’s right, it’s your big guy and his shillery du jour. A virulent anti MAGA, DC man like you was obviously NOT disenfranchised in ‘20. Police state? What police state? It’s just the DC Junta you work so hard for.

You might want to go YouTube and watch some videos out of Russia and educate yourself. Russia is at least as free Canada and much more conservative and Christian.

Ukraine far more resembles the Soviet Union.

Neither come close to resembling a true dictatorship like the one in North Korea.

It has come to our attention that many 
Zeepers are suffering severe dehydration from all the 
continual pissing and moaning they've experienced lately. 
 
Please make an effort to keep hydrated by drinking half 
your body weight in ounces of water and consider an 
electrolyte drink each day. 

Mr. Soros is counting on you to push forward the message 
of the Great Reset!

Russian jokes are funny in a different way now - now we identify with the joke. We not laughing at them - we’re laughing with them.

Sad day for our country.

Why Giving Ukraine Longer-Range Missiles Will Make No Difference

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 7, 2024...

- Russia continues conducting large-scale missile and drone strikes across Ukraine;

- Ukrainian forces are depleted after a defeated summer-fall offensive with the West unable to adequately replace their losses;

- The West is also unable to bolster Ukrainian air defense capabilities which are buckling under intense Russian strikes;

- In response, Ukraine seeks to focus on optics-centric strikes on Belgorod as well as conduct other symbolic retaliation strikes deep inside Russia;

- Western representatives have begun more vocally calling for the transfer of longer-range missiles and drones to Ukraine;

- Despite the ability of these weapons to strike deep within Russia, they do not and will not in the foreseeable future exist in large enough numbers to match let alone exceed Russian missile production;

I just want any FR glowies to know that I didn't laugh at that joke.

I like not being in the Lubyanka on the Potomac.

I haven't seen Brian Berletic's take on the long-range missile thingee yet, just heard Alex and Alexander talking about it.

Thanks for posting the link, and Merry Eastern Orthodox Christmas!
