          I often ask myself a question. Why is Russia always looking towards Europe? Since Peter 1, Russia has always got into intrigues and showdowns within Europe. And it almost always remained extreme. Soon the "right-wing" forces of Europe will wake up and the booze will begin again. Someone just noticed that Europe resembles Ancient Rome with its debauchery and luxury. If only Russia stood aside. Let them figure it out themselves, otherwise Russia will again be "guilty". Although the Europeans can be understood - since the time of Attila, the Horde and then the Russian Empire, they see only us as a threat. On the one hand, the only bastion where their military boot could not gain a foothold. On the other hand, the only force that can bend them and did this periodically.
          I did not want to belittle the feat of our soldiers with my opus - our ancestors were always faithful to their oath, wherever their rulers sent. If only these rulers learned from the experience of their ancestors and appreciated the blood of their soldiers. hi

      For the purification of piderasts, it is likely that social upheavals, such as war, are needed; otherwise, they cannot be eliminated.

    And then, after two revolutions, "valiant" allies, incl. and the French, tore Mother Russia apart, reveling in Russian blood.
    Although, it’s good, of course, that they honored memory.

          Paris already spoke Russian, and the "bistro" cafes were very popular with them laughing , and in general it would be nice for both Europe and North America to instill fashion in the Russian language Yes

    I strongly recommend everyone to read Valentin Pikul's 2-volume book "Out of the Dead End". A wonderful book. You will read more than once. There are also difficult stories, in particular about the "gratitude of allies" to the Russian Expeditionary Corps.

      Is it worth it? Or is it our Cross like that? Maybe we’ll build the wall again and fence ourselves off from them? Did we know from those who were helped at least once thanks? Yes, I understand that this is not done for the sake of gratitude. But still? Let kakahi choke with a full spoon. And then just that - Vanya save. Does Van need it? Vanya is already tired, We can’t live in peace for a hundred years. Constantly stir up something ...

    Maybe I'm not catching up with something, or they are all so smart - "Central Europe" as part of the Balts, Poland, even there the Pribluda (and the French there too), as soon as something happens, they will be the first to get in the head from "their" American missile defense systems. Why can't they live in peace? so hit-S-s-sat so they shit to us through the memory of our ancestors. yes, fuck us on their acts of independence.

    I sincerely respect those Frenchmen who participated in the event described in the article and were involved in it. But I consider those freaks who then defiled the monument to be real ub. Bastards. He would have beaten half to death.
