“I don’t see justice in this war. I don’t see truth here,” he said over a tucked-away cafe table in the Moscow financial district. It was his first time sitting down in person with a journalist since returning from the war in Ukraine.

Justice and truth are in short supply everywhere.

No American soldiers were against American invasions of sovereign nations.

Keyword abuse: Two of the keywords on this article (lgbtq and lgbtqpropaganda ) are inappropriate as nothing in the article promotes any deviant agenda.

Afternoon ZZpeedy! It is your favorite dirty RuZZian! What is Pootie Poot up to now? Why hasn’t the Notorious SGWZ, A.K.A Saint George Washington Zelensky, taken him out single-handedly already?

That’s the insecure RTB, trying to slander any negative reports about Mother Russia as somehow the work of “globohomos” or whatever it is they’re obsessed / afraid about

the price of free speech ... at least we have it, unlike police-state Russia

On August 5, 2022 JonPreston put up the following post about me on this topic here:

Alphas like me are the real men. In contrast are you Beta males: weak, submissive, subordinate guys who are low status, eager to follow trends. This explains your attempt at stolen military valor that I’ve documented thoroughly. Please go away, and stop reporting me to the mods when I expose your neoconservativism!

***********************************************************************

He claims to have ‘thoroughly documented’ my alleged “attempt at stolen military valor” and I have repeatedly challenged him to publicly publish this claimed documentation of his or to publicly issue a retraction.

Is JonPreston a liar? Is he a braggart? Is he a troll?

Ask him for his ‘thorough documentation’ and then you be the judge.

I often refer to the Russian trolls as the ‘345th Mechanized Keyboard Division’

666th Division, more like it

(have you seen the way Russia treats people, even its own citizens? No wonder nobody wants to emigrate there!)
