Don’t worry Boris (gone), the liberals are working hard to turn our country right into Marxism.

I was a student at the Defense Language Institute in the 80’s. My Russian instructor told the story of her sister visiting her and her mom here in the States.

She wanted to see an American grocery store before she went back. Her family kept making excuses not to do so.

On her last day here, she refused to go to the airport until they took her to a store.

My instructor said she walked around the store for 30 min, tears streaming down her face the whole time.

Jello pudding pops? I wonder if they got pulled after one of Cosby’s victims came out with the details of how he violated her?

Really getting to the opinion vocal collectivists need to be imprisoned or executed for the good of the progression of humanity.

They are the true regressives, and would kill billions by systematic starvation in a heartbeat, believing their contrivances to be some sort of game.

When you get right down to it, most of them despise humanity and would prefer the human race be whittled down to a small few that share their same genocidal “values.” Say, 90% or more of the population.

These include most of your ultraleftist “Global Warming” Fanatics who have a target goal of no more than 500 million persons, so over 85% liquidation. Of course, they know it’s just bullshit and a convenient ruse to eliminate humanity en masse.

He needn’t have worried. In a few years, America’s stores will look just like Soviet Russia’s.

Reminds me of the old Robin Williams movie, Moscow on the Hudson.
It was about a defector from the Soviet Union, Williams, making a new life in everyday America.
In one scene his character nearly has a nervous breakdown while attempting to grocery shop. Just the amount of food in so many different brand names was too much for him to handle.
It drew a very different picture from one of the earliest scenes back in the USSR. He had been standing in line for an item only to be told he would have to make do with something else as the advertised item was sold out.

Overall a pretty good movie, if I remember correctly.

And Islam is their preferred tool to destroy humanity with. Which is why Soros is funding and directing the whole invasion of Europe by the retarded, inbred, soulless sons of bureaucrats.

Exactly. Look at Venezuela right now.

What was once a wealthy low-level first world country.

I was at DLI for the same course in 1983-1984. I had one of the instructors, a small bird like grandmother, tell me of the 900 days in Leningrad and how she survived.

I used to get her off the training topics by interjecting something positive about one of the old Soviet leaders and she would go off track for about 30 minutes berating whichever name I happened to mention.

The people from Tom Clancy’s book Rainbow Six. Whittle the population down to themselves and their servants, just like the Lords and vassals of old. They believe they sit in a higher place than the rest of us and deserve to be tin gods over other men.

One of the reasons that the real God gave us men like Colt and Winchester.

Thanks for that. I had many DLI grads as friends in the Army.

I think you've put your finger on it right there. They eventually get around to killing people "for their own good."

That is great. I was in the Army at the time and doing the Prescott hill run every week. That was rough.

The escaped Mig pilot Viktor Belenko wrote an opinion article among these lines. He said “Russians believe they are smarter than everyone else and entitled to teach all the other ‘idiots’ all the while they are unable to build a society that has toilet paper.”

And a great deal of good they've done!
