NewIt takes bravery

Mon, 04/25/22

I’m told that thousands of dissidents are in jail right now in Russia, put there by President Brezhnev Putin. Speaking out against the government takes a deal of bravery there. I’d like to think that if I were Russian, I’d be saying “look at the pictures—what could men in that apartment building/school/hospital have done to Russian soldiers ten miles away? This is clearly a war crime.”. That said, I don’t know.

Nowhere near as much bravery as the men with the blue & yellow patch in the Donbass, mind you, but a degree or bravery nonetheless. Putin delenda est!

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
