A free Russia where anyone can travel in peace, where food is plentiful, where information flows freely and citizens are encouraged to follow their dreams.

But Russia has been at war with someone forever, it seems. So sad.

Situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
The shrink wherever you are, just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
Anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
One person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
They won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
They may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
Singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
Organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said
Fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
Walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

I would take all of this with a grain of salt. There is plenty of propaganda all around. News has reported them as Russian military defectors who are sabotaging the Russian war effort from inside Russian territory. Russia has declared them a terrorist group.

Ukrainian military does have several legions of foreigners, including this one. There are other units that include Americans, Polish, British, Canadians, etc.
