She is fine dang what a cutie. Also this is coming soon to Main Street USA
Coming to a country near you soon.
Things weren’t much better in the soviet union in he best of times.
That cop car sure aint a Crown Vic
and we’re allowing this to happen here
they’re doing everything they can to transfer the country’s wealth to asia as fast as they can... while making us a debtor nation for decades
The Russians have always been ruled by Thugs and gangsters. And so it is again.
Some very good pictures/photographs there. Faces of brave people is what I see. Orderly, too. They’ve lived this way their whole lives. I hope they fared well and are doing better now.
The softies in this country are in for a wake up call like no other when that stuff starts here.
There is much to learn and study about the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are clues there to our future.
One point to consider is that NO ONE wanted to put the USSR back together again. NO ONE will want to put the USA back together either..............................
Back in the ‘90s I worked with a gal just over from Russia (striking blonde). She told of the following:
1) Home deliveries of milk were uncertain - it depended upon whther the milkman/company paid off the mafia to allow them to deliver.
2) When you bought broccoli, half of it was dirt - no squeaky clean stuff like you see here.
3) Stand alone drink dispensers of sweet tea had a tin cup on a chain. You used part of your drink to rinse out the cup before you drank - no cups dispensed, only the tea.
4) Her mom came with her. The first time they entered a supermarket, her mom started screaming. Manager, et al came over to see what was the matter. Mom was overwhelmed at all the food available and freaked out..
How long before we are there?

A great read on this is David Remnick’s “Lenin’s Tomb. The Last Days Of The Soviet Empire’’.
I know someone who used to go to the former USSR in the 90s. He brought back such stories.......of...
treating diphtheria for the 1st time (he’s a doctor)
old women who had to choose between heat/rent and food
hot water coming from 1 central source in a big city
people not knowing what Tylenol was
people never having seen Band aids but knowing what they were
big cities with dirt roads
...and on and on.
Ask the guy wearing the 1997 t-shirt, he knows what’s gonna happen
long lines and empty shelves in the worker’s paradise of the ussr? impossible.
next thing we’ll hear is that the north korean communists are having problems.
The Daily Mail is perpetuating a very subtle but big journalistic lie with this article, that this was the tail end of the failing Soviet Union, but otherwise it was okay. No. Things sucked there bad for seventy years, and the new Brit version of centralized government/collectivism won’t be any better.
But hey, at least they made the “rich” pay their “fair share.” /sarc /obastard
I believe our Great Depression was worse.
As far as I know, standing in line with baskets hoping
for a shot at some dwindling, poorly distributed cornucopia of “goods” had been going on through ALL regimes prior to Gorbachev’s.
Remember, The Soviet Union had reached the end of its rope,
and a reformer named Gorbachev was soon in power.
While this probably didn’t revolutionize productivity, it
did give Russians a sense of new possibilities.
Our Depression virtually BEGAN with a statist BIG Gov President who
stayed in power for a 12 full years.
And OUR Depression was in black and white!
question for the military frees:
look at the tank picture, with the guy standing on it. by his left leg are four tubes pointing upward. what are they?

Regardless, but with regards,
They were and are an admirable foe.
I fear that we will not fare as well, as we have become a nation of pu***’s.
