Those blaming Putin (not Russia) for the war just don't understand Russians.

Putin is only giving them the foreign atrocities they demand, the ones that make their own misery seem tolerable by comparison.

Russians seized Donetsk doctor Ihor Kirianenko in 2018. He was 57.

They tied him to a table like a cross, wired his feet and fingers, and electrocuted him until he screamed. Then they tore out his teeth with pliers and broke his ribs and fingers, writes Hromadske. 1/

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

Russian thereorists dropped an aerial bomb on a church in Kostiantynivka — people were killed and injured.

Police also found a two-year-old boy at the scene. The child survived.

So russians again targeting electric infrastructure. So good that Ukrainians suffering for years isn't an escalation. The main thing is to have a sanction package n12466 so then ivan govnov from russian ass-on-pedophile feels consequences as late as possible.
