keep telling that to yourself. just because they dont act like what you consider a goon doesnt mean they arent. we have this saying: if 9 ppl sit at a table and 1 nazi sits down with them and none walks away, bam, you have 10 nazis. so.

make russian lives as bad as possible

Wasn't that the Shock Doctrine strategy from back in 1996? Anyone remember what followed?

wrong year. making russian lives bad was before it successfully ended the terrible UDSSR regime.
