It’s the hair vs the tortoise all over again :)

I went through a such a period once

@danielbsmith
As I go back in time I'm struggling to find examples of positive influences.
They installed a Communist regime in Romania and plunged it into unspeakable poverty.
They installed a Communist regime in Korea and plunged the North into unspeakable poverty.
They installed a Communist regime in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia and sentenced those peoples to degradation for decades.
They upheld Castro's commie regime and plunged Cuba into poverty.
But they describe all these as positives.

This is #comedy gold 🤣

Vatniks in Germany (Russian immigrants) gathered for a parade to honor the Day of The Soviet Soldier, complete with flags and portraits of Stalin and #Putin.
Residents began blasting circus music from their windows.
The parade slowly dissipated

@ToruOkada
Yes, I’ve said that numerous times at the beginning of the invasion: keep saying that such and such high officials secretly work for you, and the tarantulas will eventually start eating each other

“Here’s your flour in the worst possible container. Fuck you.”

Years later, in 1938 Stalin orders the following redaction to be introduced in historical archives: “Our soldiers have categorically repelled the enemy’s attempts at capturing Narva and Pskov. The 23rd of February became the birth date of the Glorious Red Army which dealt a humiliating defeat to the German imperialists.”

This is the holiday that’s revered across #Russia to this day. They are celebrating an historical lie, an perverted, farcical falsification, manufactured by Stalinists.

The newly formed Stalin’s “Red Army” retreats, allowing the capture of cities Narva and Pskov and being thrown back to Saint-Petersburg (Leningrad). A detachment of Baltic sailors lead by Pavel Dybenko steal a German train and drive in deep into Russia, stopping only in Samara, effectively fleeing the frontlines.
A courier delivers a dispatch to Russians on the 23rd, containing an ultimatum. The Brest peace treaty is signed on conditions dictated by the Germans.

Today #Russia celebrates the 23rd of February, the so-called Men’s Day, The Defenders of Motherland Day, the Day of The Soviet Soldier. It is one of the most sacred holidays in Russian militaristic culture, the pomp and fanfare around which is rivalled only by the 9th of May celebration.

But what is the 23rd of February really? Why this date specifically?

Let me tell you how it started.

On February 18, 1918, Austria-Hungary begins an attack on the whole Eastern front.

I've been in this room for eight years, now Clarice, and I know they'll never let me out, not while I'm alive. What I want is a view where I can see a tree, or even water.

Waiting for my face hugger to hatch lol

Astrology? Oh, you mean birthday racism?

#Russia doesn’t care about #Ukraine neutrality.
Ukraine was neutral before the invasion and still remains neutral.
Russia only cares about the difficulty of conquering Ukraine if it joins NATO.
The only thing that will stop the war is a strong Ukraine and a strong NATO.

#Ukraine has agents infiltrating Putin's circles, says Budanov of the Ukrainian MOD.
"As the socio-political situation in #Russia is deteriorating every day, it becomes easier to find people willing to do this work for us."
