You have no idea what the KGB has done or the 100s of millions they have killed, enslaved, suppressed and robbed. I saw it first hand in KGB/Iraq, KGB/Kuwait under KGB/Saddam, KGB/Syria, KGB/Libya, etc. etc etc.
You are nothing more than an apologist for tyranny and a moral fraud. MORAL FRAUD. You don’t care about the people of any country, let alone America or Americans
Our FBI isn't equivalent of what KGB used to be.
Yet, you're obsessed with Russia rather than abuses committed by our government.
You're a war pig on the side of Biden, Deep State, George Soros and neocon scum.
And, I have no doubt that you're profiting from the war in Ukraine and all the wars we fomented.
You're sick, despicable POS and every bit as much the enemy as any Democrat or leftist.
You beliefs are rooted in ethnic hatred, hatred every bit despicable as racism, or greed are are devoid of moral compass.
They also celebrate on January 7th.
Tone it down, bozo.
Freep off, Deep State bootlicker.
Buzz off Putin Packer.
Saddam had his name imprinted into the bricks used to recreate Nebuchadnezzar’s palace.
I liked the original mud brick better. Authenticity vs. KGB/tyrant #8’s factory copies. And the granaries are still visible to the east from the helo pad atop his palace on the Shat-al-hillah waterway.
First the Iraqis looted Babylon, then the Marines were sent in to protect the base. Then the locals accused the Marines of ‘looting Babylon’ but when we drove thru al Hillah we’d see the base street lamps, fencing, etc. put up around their properties. Probably the rest was inside their mud brick houses. The Iraqis knocked down walls and dug under ancient paved roads looking for ‘treasure’. <<<THIS is what a corrupt, politicized media does for you. It lies to elevate immoral behavior above moral behavior. Your enemy above you. No wonder the KGB sponsored Hussein, along with almost all the world’s Scumbag dictators.
