“Russia is in for a catastrophic economic crash if the anecdotes in this story are typical.”

We could pretty much collapse Russia’s economy by ourselves if we resurrected our domestic energy industry and became the energy exporter we used to be.

Yes, I’ve been to Russia in the past few years. Deal with a lot of Russians here in Florida. I’ve never been to Chelyabinsk, though. It’s got a reputation as one the armpits of Russia. LOL.

It does seem the loophole riddled sanctions are intentionally loose to prevent the Russian economy collapsing entirely. Putin will “accomplish” that anyway, though.

There is no recording of theirs listed under the various groups that have covered it.

Thank you.

When it comes to Russia, I feel like a blind guy listening to the other blind guys describe the elephant.

It was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar.

Your YouTube link led to an CCN interview of Junta Joe. No thanks.

I laughed, suspecting that Putin hates everyone, except pur sang Russians.

With a proper diet and some training, you can develop a thick skin and rock ribs.

No need for a safe space and a therapist.

There won’t be any peace until the Russians go back to Russia.

Folk was my earliest introduction to music in late 50s. The Kingston Trio and PPM my favorites. Motown took over for me in HS with the British Invasion joining them in the 1960s. To this day the early 1970s are as far as my musical taste goes. The genre never grows old for me.

I’ve always said that music died with the end of the 1970s, but with some pleasant resurrections in the 1980s. After that, dead and gone.

Stop the Peter, Paul and Mary nonsense and start acting like man. ok?

Putin the evil dictator lived in the Kremlin
And killed and bombed his neighbors in a land called Ukraine.
Little Jackie paper loved that homicidal man
And killed his oligarchs according to his plan

Together they would travel on a boat called a yacht
while his people starved and died in wars about which they cared not.
Noble kings and princes would send weapons to Ukraine.
While Pirate ships for Putin would steal all the grain.

This land was your land.
This land is my land.
I'll just annex it.
And now it's my land.

If you don't like it.
I'll bomb your cities.
And steal your children.
and bomb your cities.

Don't touch my bridge now.
Or I'll bomb you cities.
I'll rain down missiles.
This land was made for only me.
