In Russia, an anti-war drawing can cost you your daughter

A day later, they were again questioned — now by the FSB, Russia’s security service. “For three-and-a-half hours, they told me that I am not raising my daughter right and said they’ll take her away from me, and put me in jail,” Moskalyov told the outlet OVD-Info. Spooked, the family moved away to a nearby town. But in December, the FSB came knocking again. In Moskalyov’s telling, they raided his home, beat him and forced him to listen to the Russian anthem at full volume for hours. He was again charged with discrediting the Russian army on social media, now as a criminal offense punishable by three years in prison.

An anti-war drawing made by a 12 year old girl caught the attention of her teacher. School officials informed the police, and the drawing came to the attention of the new KGB (FSB).

And this is the government that certain "freepers" are defending viz-a-viz the war in Ukraine. Nice.

Not that, under the yoke of the "woke", we're a whole lot better here.

Yep, and it's coming here too. You need to worry about what our leaders are doing instead of foolishly concerning yourself with what goes on in Russia. We are not the world's policemen, but we are going broke trying to be.

We don't even have an honest press, and we also have a dishonest judicial system as well. We have corrupt leaders who don't care about us either. Ukraine is no better. Zelensky, who was selected by the criminals running this country into the ground, agreed to make his nation a war zone, and his people fodder, and you are oblivious to all of those realities.

Wake up.

No we are not defending Russia you idiot, we are tryin to stop the destruction of this nation that you cheerleaders are assisting in that destruction.

It's America first you fool. Wake up, our leaders are no better. They are just as corrupt, and just as tyrannical as any communist nation is, because we are becoming a communist nation, and you worry about another country. Your family will be subjected to our own Putin.

No nearby nation likes Russians. Russians hate Russians. Putin hates Russians, so he sends 100.000 to their deaths in Ukraine.

Some hapless Mobics were sent to the trenches. What they found in the trenches were Mobic bodies topped/buried with a foot of earth.

Nobody is defending Russia.

Our own government borders on fascist. How many J6 protestors still sit in jail - for simply being near the capitol, 8 months after BLM/ANTIFA nearly burned Washington to the ground without consequences.

We are also wasting our energy and resources, pissing away our strategic advantage and any moral authority we had left in Ukraine.

A few years ago, I read a story about a Canadian judge that threatened to take a teenage boy away from his parents, because the parents tried to prevent the boy from discussing his gay sexuality with adult men on the internet.

Increasingly in the West, parents are threatened with being accused of child abuse, or losing custody (especially in divorces cases), if they don't recognize their child's trans identity.

During the Cold War, we were free, the Soviets were totalitarian. Since then, we've lost freedoms, the Russians have gained freedoms, and now we are both somewhere in the middle.

“Nobody is defending Russia.”

Yeah, you all just brag about Russia and Putin in this war. While I am up front about favoring Ukraine. Same as other FReepers.

That latter is partly what is behind the support from Putin, meaning the enemy or my enemy is my friend, being a fellow-belligerent against the Woke left, which competes with Putin for domination, and Wokeducation is being pushed into Ukraine.

The version many Wokelites would favor may be something like,

“For three-and-a-half hours, they told me that I am not raising my daughter right, since she refused to salute the flag of Sodom, and to use preferred pronouns, and to play the part of a hooker in a school play, and said they’ll take her away from me, and put me in jail,” Moskalyov told the outlet FR-Info. Spooked, the family moved away to a nearby town. But in December, CPS came knocking again and they raided his home, beat him and forced him to listen to the LGBTQ anthem at full volume for hours. He was again charged with discrediting the Woke military on social media, now as a criminal offense punishable by three years in prison.

Twenty years ago Conservatism was defined by Spreading Freedom! throughout the world. Unfortunately.

We overthrew secular Arab dictators we could do business with, and replaced them with chaos, Islamic radicals, and a steady stream of migrants.

Thanks, Neocons.

Conservatism is finally being redefined as America First. I credit Ron Paul with planting the seed. Trump for harvesting the crop.

In this conflict, no side is justified at being defended.

Biden, Zelensky and Putin all need to be tried and executed for wht they are doing. And if their successors don’t change tack, they’re next. These 3 idiots want nuclear wwiii to start.

Robert, knock it off. None of you guys demand Russia pull
back over its border with the Ukraine (if you have, I am
sorry). It’s all about the Ukraine being warmongers.

How would you feel if 100,000 Mexicans came into Texas
with weapons and high level equipment? Should we just
surrender?

I’d be telling them to get their ass our of our nation. If
need be, I’d go down there to make sure they did just that.

The Russian army discredits itself every day. Thieves, rapists, murderers, looters, chil abductors. That’s the Russian army.

That is partly true, but it’s important to stop Russian expansion. No, it won’t bankrupt us. Evil needs to be thwarted.
