Still even have that many people in the country who could be described as vaguely treasonous is still rather unnerving. Who are these thousands of idiots who look at Putin pillaging his way through all his neighbors and conclude he's their hero?

Freedom of speech is fine and all, but people who go to protests cheering on or otherwise wanting to enable a man who'd happily burn every European country to the ground have shown us where their loyalties lies.
Some of them are Russian expats like Ag3ma said, some of them are people like Seanchaidh which Europe has plenty of as well, some are isolationalists thinking "it is not our war" and some just don't like their own government.

190 pages in and Sean is still being humored? You should be thankful Sean, I have known loving mothers who paid less attention to their children than what you're getting here from complete strangers.

Cardiff is historically part of Russia.
What isn't, though.

(Apart from Switzerland. Switzerland is and has always been part of the most profitable country to be part of at a given time. We call this neutrality. And giggle as our banks fill up.)

Switzerland will eventually be requisitioned as the centuries pass, as Russia steadily relocates Poland to the Atlantic coast.

Dismissing concerns over security as hallucination is asking for a war.
Then perhaps Russia should stop dismissing the concern of any country rightfully terrified of Russia and start to address these concern, rather than poisoning presidents or reacting with extreme force the moment they don't get their way.

According to my source*, this makes complete sense.

It’s like all those silly joke scenes in movies or television made during or after and/or set in the Cold War where you can set your watch by the Russian guy claiming this person/creative expression/monument etc was in fact not from its country of origin but was Russian.

Chekov in Star Trek (though sometimes it's future stuff that deosn't really exist and nobody disagrees so that thing might be from that area) is the only example that comes to mind, I must admit.

Which is silly because everything was invented by Greeks.

Kuryakin in the Man from UNCLE film did it too; tried to bullshit that some set of famous stairs in Italy were in fact designed by a Russian. Chekov is the example that looms largest. Except when he did it, it was a cute gag that his crew mates had come to expect.

I have fond memories of studying Shakespearov's plays.

Basically the non-nerd version of "Shakespeare, in the original Klingon".

Make it happen. Get them all in one location that can be contained from the rest of the planet.

"Think your country is going too “woke”? Can’t stand all the rights and freedoms being granted to LGBTQ+ people? Want to find a safe space from all the “woke” liberals around you? You’re going to LOVE Russia, a place where “Don’t Say Gay” is enforced at gunpoint and where “woke” liberals are sent to die a violent death on the front lines."
Yeah, this is just as funny as Andrew Tate converting to Islam for the same reasons. In his eyes, Islam is apparently willing to shoot all the woke people and this is why we should convert too

That horrible sound you just heard was my brain trying to turn over after reading that and failing.

Don't mind me. Just a bird doing bird things up here. Totally not a drone flying into your restricted airspace without an alarm being raised.
