re: #18 William Barnett-Lewis
I listen to asshats rant and rave about how Obama is a tyrant. But they suffer no consequence for their actions.
Then I see people like these who really are risking something to be heard.
Of course, it doesn’t help I just recently read Bloodlands and am far more familiar than I used to be with what Stalin and the Soviets did to the Ukraine in the 1930’s and how that is why some areas have so many ethnic Russians instead of Ukrainians living there.
If you’re interested in another dose, try The Harvest of Sorrow (Conquest) and Forever Flowing (this is fiction) by Vasily Grossman. Both excellent.
