A heck of a lot of truth in your post. They thought their world would never change despite all the filth they pushed out through their pals in the west.
Can’t say I blame them.
They clearly voted for the freak to win to send the finger to Putin.
From the country of “Pussy Riot”.
Um, ok.
Yeah, right. “They just hate us because we’re free.” (c)
