Super Natty there might be some openings in the PR department for the Duma. You talk about being deceived but soak up everything on your side with lavish.
Someone I know was shot down in 2014 on a Malaysian airliner by Russian seperatists, so I have every reason to take a side, but I'm not.
I've been following this US proxy war with Russia since then,"Independant"

The Zelensky government was set up by the US in 2014 and is in permanent debt ($22 Billion + interest and still profiting) to western banks (they own his arse) and the banks are playing both sides ->
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/goldman-sachs-profits-ukraine-war-loophole-sanctions-rcna19584Now that the US war to install "democracy" in Afganistan is over, the pieces of garbage in Washington, banks and arms manufactures have a hard-on for Russia and have been using their newly installed and owned Ukranian puppet (Zelenski) to stoke an avoidable (and it was avoidable) proxy war over another country to enrich themselves. Mainly Washington & Those who get the arms contracts (Just One contract lockheed martin -> $75 BILLION in installments)
But don't fear the Elites will fight "till the last Ukrainian" while you struggle to pay for rent, food and fuel -> everything has a price, just like the economy destroying ineffective lockdowns. If you’ve studied history, you might know how this is going to end.
Not well for the Ukrainians, not well for the Russians, and certainly not well for the West.
The same fanatics who rolled the dice with lockdowns, closing schools, closing borders, and mandating experimental jabs, are now rolling the dice again.
Ultimatley YOU will be paying for these weapons and "lethal aid"

with your taxes/inflation, not only you but your unborn children.
One thing I dislike is being decieved and force fed a false paradigm. Due to the MSM lies & propaganda over the years, I've developed a natural immunity to their BS and lies. And lately there's been a LOT of it from the Western media.
I'm sorry I'm not a good sheep, I don't believe in liberal fairy Tales, I'm a realist, I want the truth (even if it goes against the narrative of what "the man on the TV" says )
If that's taking a side and displeasing to anyone for not 'falling in line", then so be it.
