A Soviet Russia joke: A Russian man was accosted by KGB goons and had his expensive watch stolen by them. After the KGB had left, the unfortunate man then cried out loudly, "The Swiss stole my Russian watch!". A bystander heard this and retorted, "You meant the Russians stole your Swiss watch". The man then replied, "Yes, but you said it!"
The Muscovites are not stupid. They are merely beaten down so hard and so long that they know to feign ignorance.
we know they are all cowards and they have a great historical excuse that makes funny jokes.. their army rapes babies to death.. they are going to learn a lesson in their quiet little apartments about shrugging their shoulders..
Good point.
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of lumping everyone in the same bucket just because they all happened to have been born within the same lines on a map.
I'm sure there are some goose stepping citizens, some who hate the leadership with a passion and those who just want to get on with their lives and pay their bills.
Sadly armed resistance isn't an easy thing to effectively get off the ground, especially in an authoritarian nation today. So the fact that there isn't some wildly ambitious revolution ongoing, isn't an indication that every resident is in agreement with the decisions their self appointed leaders are making.
At the memorial for Prigozhin, some lady said she was devastated, because he was one who could bring change to Russia.
They showed her face on TV... wonder if she's doing well.
she has to worry for her safety because everyone around her is a coward.. /shrug
