Now back to current events.
как уехать из россии, "how to leave Russia", seven day Google trend from today, link. So why would Russians search on "how to leave Russia" before Putin gave his address, after his government spent months saying there would be no mobilization and everything was fine? Why would so many protest and cause miles long pileups on the border? As bad as our government is, the Russian government is much worse.
Comments, criticsm, demonstrating the stages of grief?
Well....I sure trust ANYTHING Google says.....
...NOT!!

Here they come. More honkys. The RATS aren’t going to like this.
For decades there have been websites about ways for people to leave Russia and few if any websites about how to move to Russia.
If they want to come to America, I’d recommend they fly to Mexico and go to our border. I’d say I was Ukrainian. They’ll get special treatment and get free housing/food/and medical.
At least they can leave or even have the option or choice to leave unlike in some Fascist Regime next door.....

More 80% of the population supports Putin. There were less than a thousand people protesting in Moscow and St. Petersburg. There were more people protesting in DC on J6, by far, than are protesting Russia now.
And, I doubt Putin cares if some of the liberals brainwashed by West and/or one of George Soros' organizations leave.
These articles actually make me laugh out loud sometimes they remind me of Doug Kenny in the early days like buy this magazine or we will shoot the dog or
Russian general Trudeau on today said they are not using con scrubs in the reserve call but you could take that forward it’s worth
Contrary to free republic Zelenskyy supporters this war is actually pretty popular in Russia because they favor incorporation of the breakaways and don’t like NATO and conversely I think the war is fairly popular in Ukraine too and so far as don’t give Putin what he wants
I think both of those statements are fair representation Putin also enjoys very high approval ratings again contrary to the conventional wisdom here of the Zolinski supporting crowd
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
Don’t need to be coy, Roy

🇺🇸 It was most often for real religious persecution reasons, or due to being Jewish, but I have (in person) personally helped dozens of Russian believers/non-ROC Christian’s, Jewish people, and other Russian friends and students get visa’s to the US (and Israel, as early on Russia didn’t allow for an Israeli Consulate), from the US Embassy in Moscow over the years.
In some cases, because they had been denied medical treatment due to continued participation with Unregistered Evangelical churches, and they or their children were very sick. In some cases it was life and death. Also helped get American MD’s into Russia, who would diagnose and try to treat many persecuted Christians and Jews, and that was through the 1990’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s.
In many cases, it was very hard, as while every Russian has a national passport, of course no Russian could/can travel internationally without a Russian issued International Passport (or for that matter visit or live in any city other than HoR without the passport being registered with local police, which they are charged for daily, and must state the purpose for the visit, where they are staying, and how long they will be there).
Multuple times I had to try and intervene with Russian authorities to get re-issued National and International Passports for Jewish people, and other penalized and persecuted Christians, just to be able to visit Moscow, so they could see Western medical doctors, or even work with the US Embassy.
In some cases our efforts failed.
There were several cases, but we once lost a beautiful little girl, who died due to mercury poisoning, as we couldn’t get treatment for her fast enough. I really really tried. Her parents had lost their healthcare due to being members of an Unregistered Baptist Church, which often met in a forest or chicken coup outside of Moscow. I had the true privilege of visiting that group.
In a more than year long effort to get their healthcare back, they stopped attending the Unregistered Baptist Church. But the authorities just wanted them gone, and just laughed at them while their little girl was clearly dying without help.
Getting National Passports was prerequisite to obtaining International Passports, and was nearly as hard as getting International Passports for US sponsored Russian orphans, so we could get them a visa. In many of those cases, we learned they had been taken from there parents while significantly younger, because their parents had been involved with unregistered Evangelical churches.
In efforts to obtain Russian International Passports for 17 to near 18 year old orphans, we had to establish fake birth dates and always pay bribes, as Russian vital record offices always refused to give us the entirely legal, but required information, or didn’t have any record of them.
My interaction with some of the Christian’s landed me in a Russian jail once, and I was in “diplomatic status”.
Russia and it’s subordinate CIS is full of truly beautiful people, living under a true defined leftist fascist government and economic architecture... 🇺🇸🎚
How difficult is it to spoof your country of origin to Google when conducting a search? 🤔
Anyone with a virtual private network has that ability.
Sounds more like a state sponsored virtual disinformation campaign than a legitimate organic occurrence.
I could not get on Aeroflot’s website at all last night. Tried several times, spaced 30+ minutes apart. Same thing tonight, but I also have something going on, on my end, I think, as any webpage I stay on for long freezes, even low data pages like FR. Just lost a long reply to someone. (So I’m posting this quick!)
