More propaganda!

Each Russian soldier can crush navy seal head with one hand!

The stories of the Soviet judicial system were sheer madness. Solzhenitsyn documented them in stunning detail.
Those from common law jurisdictions fail to understand the rigidity of countries that follow the Napoleonic Code. The law in a code country is expected to anticipate the law in every situation. If it can’t, it’s a problem, because the judge doesn’t “make law” like in a common law country. Also note that in the former USSR, a passport is just an ID document. A foreign, or travel passport, is required to leave the country, which usually requires paying a bribe to get. If nothing else, these people will get an expensive travel passport without having to pay for it. Such cleverness!
Wrapping up vol. 1 now. Wish I had known about this when I was younger rather than wasting time with Ayn Rand.
“More propaganda!

The Chinese army heroic e-tool video pretty much nullifies that Russian bit of trash talk.
From what I’ve seen both sides have a fair share of those trying to avoid this war. I laughed seeing Ukrianian soldiers dressed in womans clothing (were caught) trying to get out the war zones with citizens.
Similar to the Jan 6 “insurrectionists?”
This writer, actually, discusses Russia as a dysfunctional “procedural” state, and uses Russia as a springboard for a greater discussion about the “procedural” nature of states in general. Hence the references to “idiots” (he says this sarcastically, I think) who follow the law and send their kids to be eaten by Moloch in Ukraine, whereas the rich and connected in Russia don’t give a damn about the law, recognizing it for what it is: procedural, machine thinking to be hacked.
Wow, so this is the country that Russia is having a hard time with.
A very interesting perspective. Thank you for posting.
Why are the folk in that image wearing. Croatian uniforms? Could it be this is a photo from a different war?
Dumb and poor on the other hand do not understand this procedural nature of institutions. They're so stupid that they see not only human qualities but even a sort of moral authority in a soulless machine. Of course they get screwed.The government wants to disarm us after 245 yrs 'cuz theyCapisce?
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
In WWII by the order of Stalin, all (about 20,000) Polish POW officers were executed in infamous Katyn massacre.
Only one guy survived.
He was such a critic of Stalin, that Stalin ordered him tried for treason!
They pulled him right from the Katyn railroad station to stand trial in Moscow. He got like 2-3 years, and afterwards got away and testified about the massacre.
Gosh folks don’t want to be shoved head first into the wood chipper
Who knew?
I so wish I’d understood this sooner.
I hear Siberia is nice this time of year.
