Do you have a source for your bizarre claim that the world’s media is wrong about this new musician’s group?

It’s a trap to get more meat for Putin’s meat-grinder.

Just like I warned WMarshal about, crank was destroying his physical (high blood pressure) and mental health having daily fits of RAGE because of Putin’s failing Terror Invasion. Recently he was attacking the US for everything under the Sun. No wonder he got ZOTTED.

Posting random links won’t do it.

So you imagine that TheMozartGroup was created because Wagner soldiers are not called musicians? How is that random?

Evidently, this article is accurate. I don’t know why you make such goofy posts as you did on this thread.

Indeed so, he even called for the demilitarization of the US.

Clearly outted himself on that one.

cranked had spun off into hysteria, his posts and attacks, anti jew attacks, and even his fake veteran claims were turning into having ‘shed blood’ for America as he got more rabid in his anti-Americanism and devotion to Russia and Putin.

He was one deeply troubled troll.

Cranked probably Cracked under the strain of maintaining the doublethink of insisting to everyone that russia is some great military power and moral leader, while at the same time seeing their best military achievement in the last three months being the theft of a raccoon from Kherson Zoo during yet another retreat.

Yes we are all aware that the wagner terrorists are sometimes referred to as ‘musicians’. This article is about something different. Mobilizing actual russian popular artists to the front to cheer up their mobiks before they get turned into hamburger.

To your point #1:

The vast majority of russian-speaking Ukrainians in the east of the country were and continue to be happy being Ukrainian. They may have had some family and cultural ties with russia, but this war severed those permanently. Just because someone speaks russian does not mean they want to be absorbed into russia, especially the current kleptocracy that it is. Same as just because we speak English in the USA, Canada, Australia, etc. does not mean we want to go back to being subjects of Great Britain. Why is this so hard to grasp?

#2 - yes Ukraine has corruption. Mostly due to the influence of russian-leaning oligarchs, and nowhere near as bad as in russia itself. At least the Ukrainians' military equipment wasn't half-useless due to graft and theft, like russia's.

#3 - Ukraine does indeed have many problems. Chief among them is being subject to a genocidal war of aggression by russia which is murdering their citizens and destroying their infrastructure and agricultural land. Kicking russia out, physically as well as culturally, will be the beginning of Ukraine's reconstruction into a modern European nation.

Maybe it’s not such a stupid idea - if that was the last thing I was going to be entertained by in this life, that would probably make me homicidal too....

Your house is glass. Nobody is as bloodthirsty as neocon, Forever War lunatics.

Read your own comments and weep at the impotent rage.
