Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

Regardless of your opinion on the current war, the Soviet Union was by and large one of the best countries in the 20th century, from siding with Palestine, Cuba, China, etc to defeating the Nazis to making dramatic strides for the working class. Of all the major world powers, the Soviet Union was definitely the most able to be considered heroic.

"Other than that, how was the play?"

If you can explain where the Soviet Union still exists I'd love to know, but to my knowledge it dissolved in the early 90s and thus isn't a participent.

Well that’s a completely deranged take but okay.

No facts, no thoughts, just thinking Hollywood propaganda films are as good as reading a book lmao

Great point, Holodomor was fabricated by Hollywood on the same fake sets as the moon landing. There's literally no reasonable good faith charitable interpretation that could possibility be referencing a legitimate criticism. This elevates the quality of communication and is an indication of good faith participation in conversations sincerely directed at cultivating shared understanding.

Close, it was invented by literal Nazis and spread by Hollywood and William Randolph Hearst and revived during the 80s by spurious studies done by Harvard in service of rekindling the cold war.

I know I should know better than expecting libs to ever read anything other than YA fiction but here it goes anyway. Plenty of citations, very concise.

Also, for how much libs rag on about bots you'd think y'all would stop writing like you're getting paid by the word. Talk like normal people, five dollar words do you no good when you flail them around to hide your cookie cutter views. Only children and redditors think more bigger words=smarter.
