They were given the green light to indulge in their basest, most violent impulses. Their government lauds them for it, even. What incentive do they have to stop? A Russian who speaks out against them openly would likely be branded a traitor and 'disappeared'. A ripe ground for the vilest of abuses.

Blessings be upon the cat and the family that did not give up on their stalwart companion.

Seconding the concern that the Russian govt would order the bombing of known polling stations. They have shown to favor civilian targets heavily.

Are you enjoying it?

You've got a disinformation troll in the comments of this post.

This reminds me of the Christmas Under Fire reel from WWII; civillians sheltering in subway stations huddled up in rows, sparse holiday decorations adorning a spot here and there... How awful that the world has come back to this. This may be your darkest hour, but it is also your finest. Stay strong

Wonderful!

No one should be kidnapping children. No one.

Mass kidnapping of children of a particular ethnicity is at minimum a tool of ethnocide.

Every nation's government that voted against the return of said children is okay with that.

And the ones that abstain? Those are the cowards sitting on the fence waiting to see who the victorious party is.

Although you are not one of my respresentatives, I thank you for making an effort to codify this rule. In your legislation, please bear in mind to specify the Hakenkreuz swastika of the Nazis, as there are swastikas used in other practices which are different in appearance and intent.

Remind them what the writing below the theater in the right image means. "дети". Remind them.

And what a beautiful girl she is.

A very interesting choice of words they used. Typically, the one who "grants" independence is the one ruling over the territory. I wonder if the original poster feels as though Russia was entitled to rule the Netherlands.

Four-legged friends are great. If Russian attacks knock out the power in the cold, be sure to bring them to bed with you. My kittens kept me warm when my power went out and ice was forming inside my house, and the sight of their cute little faces cheered me.

Wishing you warmth and cheer!

Congratulations!

No friend left behind. Best wishes to this man and his cats. May thrir next years be much more tranquil.

That would be cute. Themis ships are cute.
