Putin now gravely concerned about Russian speakers in Estonia having to...learn Estonian?
The main reason Putin gave for Russia's takeover of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula was to claim that ethnic Russians in the Crimea were "at risk" and that Russia has the right to protect Russian-speakers outside its borders.
Wow, pretty ballsy excuse to take over someone else's territory, eh?
But of course if you're a lib/"progressive" you prolly think I'm making that up, right? If you're so sure about that, click on the fucking link.
See, that wasn't something I just made up. And Reuters is no friend of the U.S. Well, at least it wasn't until our new emperor ascended to the throne. Maybe it is now.
Anyway, the kicker is that Russia has now "signaled" the exact same concern over the (mythical) possible mistreatment of Russian-speakers in *Estonia*.
Let me explain: Estonia wants all its residents to be able to speak Estonian. How dreadful! And Putin--looking for an excuse to reclaim what was once Russian territory--claims this is an intolerable outrage.
Those who know history may recall that's how Hitler persuaded Britain and the rest of the civilized world to "cede" the Sudetenland to Germany in the last dramatic clusterfuck before WW2. But then, if you're under 40 or so you don't know fuck-all about history, since the public schools haven't taught anything like *real* history for decades. Eh, so it goes.
See the future yet? If you're a Democrat or liberal or "progressive" you'll claim you can't, but then some of you are almost certainly lying about that.
No matter--by the time it gets serious I'll have died of old age, and I don't have any children, so...not my problem! Complain to the 52% who elected this cunning piece of shit. You bought it, you can deal with the consequences.
So if your kids have to speak Russian or Arabic to get along? Hey, no skin off my teeth. I've had a great time, flown lots of exciting missions and paid my dues. I've tried my best to convince people I've met that socialism and communism are crappy systems (though incredibly seductive to "low-info/low effort" types). Unfortunately, to stupid people, logic is instantly overcome by "vote for us and we'll *give you lotsa free shit!*
Just so you know: you could have stopped the rush to socialism. But Dems/"progressives" guilted you into believing that the most important goal was to care for our less-fortunate brothers and sisters.
Hey, Amen. But when the gummint does it, it ain't charity. It ain't love. It's buying votes to ensure perpetual re-election and control of the government, period.
If you haven't figured that out...well, you're apparently a Democrat.
And at this point, as Rhett Butler famously said to Scarlett, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
