'I know a pensioner who sends a thousand rubles out of her small pension every month' - Margarita Simonyan.
Putin's now got the propagandists begging for money from pensioners on his behalf. (y)

Edit: the Ruble has just shot up, from 0.0101593 to 0.010184 USD. Elvira at the Russian central bank is flogging a dead horse.
And if you're interested in why Russians are so brutal, and the origin of false flag operations (they are older than Soviet times), watch this brief history of Siberia. I found it absolutely fascinating.

Sometimes, I enjoy not having anything to say....
But I agree with your point 'If someone else posts something that doesn't stop your 'voice'. Or rather, that should be the ideal.
In practice, we do...
