The #youth of #Russia shrieks out, but the old man of Russia grumbles. He solely wants their bodies to bear fruit, or litter the floor of the battlefield.
We see Russian refugees all over #Europe, except they're not really called that. In diaspora, some may say. But they are coming.
They sing once more songs of tzars and boyars, for they have seen with their own eyes what #despotism and #fascism does to a country.

A quotation from Thomas Jefferson
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)

The United States 🇺🇸 doesn’t care about its allies or a lifetime of friendship.
The U.S. believes only in the right of the strongest to take whatever suits them.
#jefflandry says it outright—that he wants to take Greenland from the Greenlandic people. Pure #evil.
What does the United States think it’s doing?
What undemocratic, war-mongering behavior toward a NATO ally. Trump is doing it solely to steal minerals from the ground—not for the benefit of Americans, but to make his own family richer.
Why should the whole world put up with such outrageous criminality?

A quotation from Alexander Hamilton
The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.
Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) American statesman, author
Letter (1792-08-18) to George Washington, Enclosure: “Objections and Answers Respecting the Administration,” Objection 14Sourcing, notes: wist.info/hamilton-alexander/7…
