If a girl is not married by the time she is 18, she is an old maid.

Horse Hillary. Once again,take a trip to Russia and do some mingling with the locals. Russians are slaves to the state,and they all know it. Most seem to be unhappy about this,but like us,they don't know what to do about it.
You do not know life in Russia. I do! I have been there a number of times. What I portrayed is reality, particularly outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg. These two cities are more cosmopolitan like most cities across the world, but outside of those cities, Russia is like something out of the 1930s in America, where a girl thinks of herself as an old maid if not married at 18 years of age. A true village mentality. Like portrayed in
Fiddler on the Roof.
And most Russians would NOT say they are slaves to anything, any more than most Americans would say they are slaves to anything or anyone. They believe they have free lives, just like you believe. Fact is they do not have the freedoms we have. But they don't know any better. And there are parts of Russia that are still controlled by communists, where the communist party remains in power, Lenin's statue with the outstretched hand still stands in the city square.
And yes, Putin controls the media, but just like here in the USA, where tens of millions listen to ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, etc, and they believe the garbage they are spewing, so too, the Russian people listen to their news and believe what they are told. Literally no different than many in the USA. Yes, Putin controls the media there, but they rely on their preferred source just like Americans listen to the above news agencies and believe their garbage. No difference!!!!!
And as Elon Musk is proving in a glaring fashion, the American people have been manipulated dramatically in what is reality. For me, it is not rocket science the FACT that the Biden Crime Family is completely controlled by the CCP. They sold their soul to the CCP and they are completely owned. What is traitorous is that no one in Congress is questioning this. And don't hold your breath for Republicans to get to the root of anything either. More Trey Goofy investigations that lead to a big NOTHING BURGER!!!!! What ever came of the Benghazi investigation? NOTHING!!!!!!!
I was dead on accurate with my assessment on Ukraine. Just like the USA, where people believe what they are told by their media, the Russians believe what is happening in Ukraine is justified, that they are freeing people from the yoke of Ukrainian Azov Nazis. They are sending their sons to die in huge numbers while Putin tells them hundreds have died, not tens of thousands, now over 100 thousand, as our media reports. AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT NUMBER ANY MORE THAN I BELIEVE THE RUSSIAN/PUTIN NUMBERS.
But rest assured, Ukraine will be prepared, and now there are American troops on the ground in Ukraine that will be working Patriot missiles. According to what I heard, it will be our guys and not Ukrainians working those Patriot batteries. So, we are just a few steps and decisions away from being fully immersed into this conflict.
I believe we are closer to nuclear war today than we ever were back in JFK's day. We have a POTUS dead from the neck up and WHOEVER is actually running this country, for he sure as hell isn't, and we have Putin who has acted totally irrational ever since this invasion of Ukraine started.
And pete, who is saying Putin is ill, our trustworthy media? Please, they lie with the best attorneys I ever knew. Can't trust our media any more than one can trust the Russian media. Both are corrupt and controlled. Look what is happening to Musk in telling what amounts to the UGLY TRUTH to the liberal morons.
I tell you, the single greatest fraud perpetrated upon the American people is the threat of Russia. Yes, they have nukes, but they are far more afraid of us and really are not the fire breathing tiger we have been led to believe for 70 years. They are a paper tiger. Ukraine after recovering from the surprise attack, and before Europe and the USA gave them anything was pushing the Russians back. Putin thought he had a 5-20 day engagement, and would end with total victory, and the Ukrainians are pushing the Russians around with competent forces while the Russians appear clearly untrained, disorganized, and unwilling to carry out Putin's desire to conquer Ukraine.
