I remember seeing this warning and then nothing coming out of. It seemed so vague and strange. The atrocities never end. 😖
I wonder what Washington shared with Moscow and how the Kremlin chose to act or not act on that information...
IIRC FSB claimed to have stopped ISIS terrorists a couple of days earlier (before the public were warned through the US embassy), so maybe they thought there was nothing to it. It does seem like they were warned repeatedly however and that they indeed dismissed those warnings.
I also just saw this. What a travesty.
Future humanity, if you even exist, please have mercy on us when you look back at this age. 😮💨
I'm afraid that politicians like Putin are our most probable nearest future
Yep. Since wealthy Gen X'ers are up next, and were raised but some of these current shitty Boomers with nepotism, the future is bleak until Millennials are up after them. By then it's too late.
There’s absolutely no shortage of shitty, authoritarian millennials. I don’t think there will be any “sigh of relief” moment when millennials are in majority of control.
Hell, back in high school my boomer Government teacher was telling us how US politics would move to the left once the Silent Generation died off. It just never happens that way.
