Russian police arrested 700 protesters Thursday who were urging leader Vladimir Putin to end his assault on Ukraine, the Agence-France Presse (AFP) reported citing independent monitors.

Protests erupted throughout the country after Putin announced in the early morning hours of Thursday what Ukrainian officials are calling a full-scale invasion of their country. Opposition activists rapidly began organizing social media calls for assemblies against the war.

They will wish that’s all they got. I can’t imagine how bad a Russian jail must be.

No one mentions that Putin is an exKGB. His base desire stems from years of working to push Russian authority and retake those former satellite countries. It WON’T stop with Ukraine and with ODUMBO at the helm of the US Government, he’ll have little opposition to continue the remaking of the USSR!

Putin has probably taken notes on how the 1/6 protesters have been treated.

Most Russians probably like the status-quo.

But, they were also being ‘westernized’, just like Ukraine was.

So, Putin didn’t want the Russians to head the way that Ukraine was going, and had to stop Ukraine from doing so in order to prevent Russians from getting any ideas.

Putin is an old-timer Russian KGB agent and wanted the old USSR to remain intact, but, now he wants to reconstitute the Russian empire before he gets too old to get it done.

When you consider that Putin has already taken control or installed puppets in Belarus, Moldova and all the ex-soviet “Stan” countries, he is close to achieving his goal.

Only countries left are the Baltic nations and then maybe try to restore Yugoslavia with Serbia at the center of it.

My guess is Biden and fiends studied what Putin did to his protesters first.
