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

Why does marxistminimus never talk about the battlefield? Why all the worry about eggs when the Ukraine is losing the war?

Note the knee jerk reaction of the Putridnistas on FR. They believe that Anything bad about Putrid or Russia is a CIA lie.

FR sure has changed since the days of the cold war when only the radical left would enthusiastically support the communists. Now we have the “useful idiots” from the right who are cheerleaders of Russia ‘s brutal invasion of Ukraine. The Jane Fonda wing or perhaps the Nevile Chamberlain Wing of conservatism ?

You are right that FR has changed drastically. The Jane Fondas are not zotted anymore so Moscow doubles and triples their trolls.

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.'

Not funny.

There are either a lot of Russians on this board, or lots of Freepers are remarkably ignorant of the USSR and its modern successor.

I lean toward the first option, with a smattering of the second.

The old FR would not see women posters, on one side of an issue, viciously attacked daily, unlike today.

No, actually, Those in the Jane Fonda wing of FR that cheer on Putin like Jane cheered on Hanoi are the “loony left”

Try to keep up.
