The Soviet Union was pretty bad. Read up on the engineered famines in the Ukraine and the gulag systems if you are in doubt. Fun fact about the gulags: sometimes people were sent there because there were quotas to meet.
This is a major point in a recent video Glenn Greenwald put out on his Rumble channel, in a Russiagate retrospective. It’s a long video, well worth listening to on a drive or in portions while washing dishes, making coffee, getting ready for daily C&C.
I admire Greenwald especially for his fierce defense of civil rights, and I often disagree with his perspective. That he was formerly a lion of the left makes this retrospective on Russiagate even more powerful. The lies of the media and intelligence community, the lack of accountability, the long term harms to international relations that we are in the middle of experiencing right now...all covered and I even learned a few things I didn’t know.
Funny how with that one sentence, you have all those likes. PDT was looking at creating the greatest ally we could have had, but ds ruined that. I feel that when the revolution starts, and we’re hunting baddies, I’m doing the good works that need doing.
Russia has been demonized for far too long.
Yes indeed. The Military Industrial Complex always needs a boogeyman.
Russia has been presented as the evil empire my entire life. I'm 74.

Look at who's actually behind those famines and gulags.
Many of their type dominate the Biden regime and the media.
And it’s been the Evil Empire your entire life. You should have a chat with some escapees.
Escapees? I’m pretty sure there is no such term any more, regarding Russia. You obviously aren’t as old as us.
I would like to know what it's like for an ordinary American to visit long-term or live there.

Russia sucks. So does Ukraine. So does our titular president.
And so does Barbls!
We try to be respectful here. Everyone gets an opinion.
