I'm so angry with Russia

[EndlessWire]

I hope they never, ever get sanctions relaxed or removed in any way. This latest thing about just annexing Ukrainian territory, like they own it, is just nonsensical, unethical, and illegal.

They are also shelling up near Zakarpattia, next to Hungary. I don't trust Hungary, but this seems like an expansion of the war.

This is an old article, but it is interesting about the mischief that Russia has been sowing all around. There are around 11,000 GIs sitting in Poland right now; I don't think that Poland has acted against Ukraine at all, and in fact, they are greatly helping. To me, it is questionable what Hungary would do, and I doubt that Russia would threaten Hungary with a takeover. Moldova could be in trouble next.

My extreme fantasy is that Russia is pushed back and Ukraine reclaims Crimea. On a daily basis, I have to lecture myself not to hate Russians. Just, don't hate. One day, the average Russian citizen will once again be our friend. Just not now. They need to step up, seeing as how it is their country doing this. But, right now, I want to see Russia squeezed lifeless. And, I want their Navy sunk. Somebody sneak in and sink them.

2. I understand

It’s just unbearable to see these older people suffering, having to leave. Many have mobility issues. Damn, life is hard enough and then for them to have to face this in their twilight years…

Another thing that distresses me is the utter destruction. It is so hard to build something and then to have it blown to bits over some megalomaniac’s fantasy!

I had a Russian friend but I quit having anything to do with her when she made a remark sympathetic to trump. She keeps sending me jokes even though I have asked her to remove me from her list. Tonight I was cleaning out my email box and one came in. It was a racist joke and disgusted me. It was about laziness with Hispanics and African Americans. I can’t imagine a sense of humor that would find this funny.

I just have to keep remembering my other Russian friend who was a self made millionaire and who lived an average lifestyle. His millions meant nothing to him so he donated it all to social justice issues.

3. I posted a similar fantasy too....

"My extreme fantasy is that Russia is pushed back and Ukraine reclaims Crimea."

The rest of my fantasy is that Ukraine goes into Russia and takes a few hundred miles of Russia's territory. Do unto others. Also, that Russia has to pay every last cent to have Ukraine restored to how it was before the war. Finally, I want to see Russia give Putin the Mussolini treatment.

I have more but I can't post them here without the DU Jury deleting it.

4. Let's not also forget the role of a Russian-directed intelligence operation in electing Trump

We have been at war with Russia for a while now, even if we haven't been aware of it.
