Russia hacked US shit-storm dying fast death, real SS on the way.

[David Morris]

OK. I'll try to be brief.  Your comments are endless.  Too much commentary
(like yours) is often rambling evasion.  So, OK? You want more?

"Popular authoritarian oligarchy"
Does this term really deserve discourse?  Warm & fuzzy authorianism? WTF?
Need I ask more?

Proof of Russian good behavior:
"Gave up one party rule, tore down wall, gave up satellite states."
Again, WTF? Are you serious?  None of these were voluntary gestures.  All
of these are why Russia is longing for the bad old days.  I can't believe
you list them as good behavior.

I am not "screaming in fear." I am just shaking my head rapidly, laughing
loudly inside so as not to wake the neighbors.
