I actually have known a fair number of Russian people in the last ten years or so visiting the USA. Most are in their 20s. None of them know much about Stalin or the Cold War. I doubt that an army made up of young Russian conscripts would go to this trouble.

Much of what you say is true, except Putin is doing the opposite with farms and small businesses. He has brought back the “independent, family farm.” The difference should be in text books: Russia is now the world’s largest EXPORTER of grain; under Brezhnev, it was the world’s largest IMPORTER.

Maybe he meant he would put them on leave and send them via KLM or Lufthansa.

LOL!

And here all along some so-called conservatives were pushing for Putin by saying he’s a Nationalist representing White Christianity and fighting the WEF/NWO types against evil and Globalism.

I can’t help it that you are unaware of the strategic importance of this particular war.

And I can't help it if none of the factors listed appears sufficient to justify US involvement in a conflict, that could easily escalate (intentionally or unintentionally) into a nuclear war. Bear in mind that the war is unlikely to ever involve nuclear weapons, if we let the Europeans handle it, but would be much more likely to 'go nuclear' if the US continues to increase its participation. Ukraine was not worth going to war over, when it was in the USSR, and it's certainly not worth risking war with Russia today...

I’m sorry but I find it interesting that supposedly Russian troops put up a statue of Lenin.

Count me in as one of those inquiring minds. The BS is getting so ridiculous.

I don’t agree with your analysis, but that’s ok your points are valid.

Yes this would be curious except.
I’m pretty sure that in his long tv speech justifying the war, Putin angrily complained that the Ukrainians were taking down Lenin statues.
He saw that as attempted deRussification.

The statue is local and is returned to the exact place where it was for decades, until a couple of years ago it was removed by the Kiev regime.

I took a photo standing next to a statue of Lenin when I visited Luhansk Oblast in 2006. Some of them never left.

>5 will give Russia Black Sea access

How, exactly, will Russia’s war with Ukraine give them Black Sea access? The last I looked, Turkey controls the Bosporus and Dardenelles.

I’ll wait patiently.

“Lenin is very far from an object of worship in Russia... more likely the opposite. It is not clear just who did this”

UKraine comes up with stories like this because a lot of people in the US and elsewhere don’t understand the Ol’ Soviet Union had a going out of business sale in 1991.
(Well, actually, it was more like a “going into business sale”.)
Anyway, the Ukesters know there are a great many people will respond with “Eeek!! That darn commie Brezhnev!!!” We gots to do something!!!!!”

“I’m sorry but I find it interesting that supposedly Russian troops put up a statue of Lenin.”

Why is that? I mean, we all know when US forces roll into a foreign town the first thing they do is build a monument to King George III!

It’s hard to comprehend how it’s allowed to stand.

“My bet is this picture dates from 1989.”

I was thinking 1991. But, what’s a couple years?

They didn’t install it. They restored it. The Ukrainians had pulled it down.
