The Emperor has no clothes with over 10, 000 women, children, and men killed in their houses, schools,
homes, hiding in hotels, or trying to get out of the country. If that is giving Russia more security then everyone then they are out of their minds. Like knowing about the "Trumpies" here that kept claiming he won the Presidential election even though Pres. Biden won in a landslide, AGAINST THE EVIDENCE , VOtES, COUNTS EVEN BY THEIR OWN they don't like the truth so they won't swallow it some say. In Russia is the same. True the government control what is said on TV , Papers and even mouth to mouth but still many families of those over 25,000 Russian soldiers killed nd the ones fighting and taken as POW's. Will feel the difference and lies wont make things better. What do they say to that information,? Don't want to believe it? That is why you are loosing your kids and husbands because you saw and you decided to stay with the dirty truth allowing the person you originally put into power to do anything he wants. But His reign is /coming to a climax and it won't be good. All the people of Russia backing him have to look at how their lives have become since he did the 'special orperation' in Ukraine. I do wonder how they are hiding the coffns of all those soldiers coming home dead. I know that was a problem during the |
Viet-nam war years in America when the soldiers started coming home in boxes non stop.
I was surprised he had any tanks left but they don't seem to be as many as last year. Maybe a reader can correct me.
