Re: What the Russian Invasion Has Done to Ukraine
#4What it has done is create a country full of people who hate Russia, who will escape, sabotage, destroy every aspect of Russia. It has also shown it's own Russian population that another Stalin/Hitler walks in the halls of power(he dare not walk amongst them!!) - who will escape, sabotage, destroy every aspect of Russia from within, and it has shown who the real beast is. After the USSR fragmented, we all hoped we could all return to a normal world. NATO slowly started to wind down via budgetary strangulation heading towards the fate of the not needed - NO MORE - NATO budgets are upped by ~~ 100% or more, people are aware of the nature of the beast, and now Russia is a pigmy compared to the USSR.

Casual bit of racism. The main reason for despotism/imperialism is just economics.

#6> A Ukrainian friend joked that I’d be in trouble if I was stopped at a Territorial Defense checkpoint and asked to say what had become a kind of code word for sussing out enemy agents: palyanitsa, the name of a soft white-bread loaf. The word rolls off the tongue of Ukrainian speakers but is hard for Russians to pronounce.
Ugh. That sounds like the author revealing confidential info, that could potentially allow saboteurs to pass by checkpoints. :(

And that's exactly what the US wanted and that's why they deliberately interfered in Ukraine politics - to bait Russia. After the propaganda fades away, we'll know the reality of how the world has actually changed in both Ukraine and Russia.

It has been all over the news, so it won't sabotage anything. Most elderly people from the south-east of Ukraine wouldn't be able to pronounce it as well as they mostly have a very spotty command of Ukrainian.
