Have you lost your mind?
How can you compare having corrupt officials in one’s government that dealt with Hunter Biden to Russia’s full-scale invasion of another country that has killed tens of thousands?
You need help.
I have an opinion that differs from yours, and I need help?
Bite me.
Hunter Biden represents United States corruption. It is not Ukraine’s exclusive domain.
Yes, you have an opinion that is different than mine. Your opinion is not in the realm of sanity.
Russia needs proper humiliation. It needs a humble recognition of its diminished status, an acceptance of guilt, and a slow, painstaking effort to rebuild the trust of those it has wronged. Russia did not learn this lesson in the 1990s. It must learn it now.
True greatness lies not in hideous military parades, nor in promises to unleash a nuclear Armageddon. True greatness lies in acceptance of the past, and a willingness to make amends. It lies in the commitment to build a better future, in a country that could become known for its schools and hospitals rather than its tanks and missiles.
he real source of Russia's humiliation has always been Russia itself: its arrogant, autocratic rulers and the chauvinistic populace that slavishly worship them. Russia's defeat in this unjust, criminal war against Ukraine may help shift the domestic narrative in Russia towards accepting the country for what it really is, rather than what it has vainly pretended to be. It is only then that Russia can, finally, be at peace with itself and with its neighbours

I never thought Laz would become a lacky of KGB Putin.
Anatoly Antonov, russian ambassador in the US: there will definitely be no capitulation of russia. All the tasks that putin set will be completed. We will never withdraw.

No one wants to talk to Anatoly Antonov.
Russia’s ambassador to the United States can’t get meetings with senior officials at the White House or the State Department. He can’t convince U.S. lawmakers to see him, much less take a photo. It’s the rare American think tanker who’s willing to admit to having any contact with the envoy.
Not even Russian leader Vladimir Putin chats with him.

Go bury a fish, plebian.
and now “Za Katyń 1940”
Another Ukrainian artillery shell with a personalized message for their Russian ‘guests’...
“For Katyn 1940”, refers to the Katyn massacre, when 22,000 Poles were murdered by the Soviets after the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland.

16MAY2022 SVR General (Генерал СВР):
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Today, in a morning report to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the leadership of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Security Council of the Russian Federation report a high probability of cyber attacks on the Russian banking system. The report, citing intelligence data, says that the largest cyber attack that Rutube has undergone is just the first sign in a series of upcoming attacks on critical sectors in the fields of finance, economy, logistics and military infrastructure. According to the authors of the report, the largest Russian banks Sberbank, VTB and Gazprombank, as well as structures of the Central Bank of Russia, may be among the first victims of cyber attacks. The analysis of possible consequences refers to a possible protracted crisis in the banking sector and the financial system, up to a temporary collapse of the entire sector.
Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Elvira Nabbiulina was acquainted with the limited information contained in the report and gave her comments, which boil down to the fact that if this happens, it will be a catastrophe and a way out will have to be sought based on an understanding of the scale of this catastrophe. According to our data, after getting acquainted with the minimum information that was provided for Elvira Nabiullina’s assessment, she was in undisguised shock at the possible prospects for attacks and their consequences.
The cyberattacks predicted by the Security Council and the Foreign Intelligence Service on the Russian banking system could result in a loss of funds for millions of depositors, and no one knows how quickly the system can be restored and whether it will be possible to restore it completely.
