      I was told Russia was going to protect us from all that wokeness. The Russian Army was strong because it didn’t bow down to wokeness like America.

        I had an idiot tell me he would move to Russia to escape the wokeness (not going to happen).

        I wished him luck, I sure wasn’t going to follow and I hope he likes being sent to the front as cannon fodder. Putin barely cares about Russians so a foreign Slavic Muslim is certainly going to get treated amazingly I’m sure. But I don’t mind conservatives leaving.
