I feel sorry for them. I think we should send those soldiers a few thousand cases of vodka to make them feel better.

Russians as a whole are literally drinking themselves to death.

Do you have any idea how much you sound like Hillary Clinton?

“Trump is colluding with Russia against the United States!”

“what a bunch of hunter biden losers!”

There isn’t one Hunter Biden supporter on this forum.

Even you must see what a lame attempt at an insult that was.

They have a very hard life over there. It is true that they
consume a lot of vodka. It’s their way of coping.

Some of our folks have said they wish we’d spend more time
focusing on U. S. problems.

I haven’t heard any of those folks say they think Russia
should spend more time concentrating on improving the life
of its citizens.

Wonder why not.

I’ve been there. There are good people there. I met people from the Ukraine. There are also good people there.

Thanks LouAvul.

I think I would have enjoyed going with you on that trip,
seeing the sights, meeting the people.

How would the title be any different than in every day normal Russia? Does the author not know many Russians?

They were extremely hospitable to me. I lectured at college in Moscow and the students (mid 1990s) put America’s students to shame in personal appearance, manners and studiousness. I was very impressed.

At the time I started doing that, we had people posting
the Johns Hopkins numbers on the forum. Gathering
them in one place for everyone to view and comment about
could have turned into a productive situation.

For instance, you could come in and posted whatever you
liked to add information to the topic. It didn’t have
to support the numbers. It could have shown how the
numbers were being gamed, and everyone could have
given their thoughts on it.

Instead what took place is a bunch of adults acting
like 12 year olds, who didn’t have enough presence of
mind to contribute.

Instead they would come in an hurl insults, call people
names, slander folks, and then run away feeling like
they really defended Conservatism.

I pulled in those numbers, because they were the only
numbers out there. How could anyone complain about
the numbers, if we couldn’t even post the numbers on
the forum.

I see some of the same logic on these threads. Some
folks just don’t seem to be able to address these issues
in a logical adult manner.

A lot of people were saying that any death was being
labeled a COVID-19 death. I think there was truth in
that, but how do you quantify that?

How do you know what percentage of the numbers being
reported out, were false positives?

Some of you could have contributed in a meaningful
way to answer that question. Instead many went
to other threads to take pot-shots not even linking
me in to respond.

You’re still eaten up inside over it. LOL You never
needed to fell that way. You could have participated
in a constructive way. Why didn’t you?

I can imagine. We really relaxed our dress codes in the
interest of comfort, but I think it destroyed respect in
a number of different arenas of public gatherings.

Look at how people dressed to go to live shows back in
the 50s and 60s.

Because we don’t give a shit about either useless country.
We care about our country. The one many of us served.
It shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

Reading about how Russia manages its soldiers is like reading about the Battleship Potemkin, rigid authoritarianism and complete indifference to the health and safety of their troops.

LOL

Ah ha ha ha ha...

You guys are a real hoot.

The topic was Russians drinking themselves to death on
Vodka.

Sorry you didn’t know.

You’re a true simpleton. I responded to, and quoted, your post.

Yeah you did. And you completely missed the conversation.

Now you’re trying to blame that on me.

Go back up thread and catch up. Then come back and see if
you can do a little better.

You’re not really doing yourself any favors.

We were talking about the tough life the Russians have, and
that they drink Vodka to excess and harm themselves in the
process.

Your brilliant comeback was that you don’t give a damn about
them.

As a person who thinks Putin has harmed his own people in
this conflict, and has let them wither on the vine since
he took office, I do care about them.

Thus I mentioned that everyone talks about us needing to
concentrate on the U. S. improving life here, and just
let the Ukraine region burn.

Never do I see anyone state that Putin has an obligation
to his own people too.

Either you can grasp that, or you won’t have the tools to
do so.

Either way is okay with me.
