All they can do is concentrate corruption into a smaller cabal. North Korea rev 2.0 for the citizens and finery paid for by China for the elite.

Because it went so well the last few times they purged everybody that had remotely any skill.

Oh well, if they want to hand 🇺🇦 a potential respite on the battlefield, lets purge the senior command.

And as far as the argument goes concerning removing corruption. In 🇷🇺, its a feature not a bug.

The image is almost correct. Tovarisch uses the tool of fascism to scare opposition of the warmonger part of society so tovarisch Fuhrer can continue whatever he is busy with.

Coming to the USA also. Seeing that ICE has become an Organised Crime State Security Apparatus modelled on the FSB it’s only fitting.
Keep using that AI bs folks - feed yourselves into the machine why don’t ya.

I always find it fascinating how the most utterly passable and nobody of nobodies suddenly comes out of the woodwork with some "information" gathered from "spurces" that is little other than some crazy story based on vague notions, often greatly exaggerating the abilities of the entities depicted.
