Putin in a 2005 speech to the Russian people:

"Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century," Putin said in an address to the Russian people. "As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."
disintegration infected Russia itself."


In 2018 Putin said he would reverse the collapse of the USSR.

This place is starting to look/sound like the Area 51 board....

Eh....that's hardly him stating any intention to restore the USSR, and he's certainly no communist ideologue.

He's just expressing an opinion that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy and a disaster, an opinion that I'm sure many people in Russia and other former Soviet states might agree with. He's also stated a hypothetical...that if he could go back in time he would reverse the collapse. That isn't evidence of any intention to restore the USSR. These sort of statements were done mostly for political effect- to invoke nostalgia and stroke the pride of a very proud Russian people.

He also said in a similar statement that it would be impossible to restore the USSR today.

Pretty weak sauce imo.

And the House 1/6 "insurrection" investigation is by the same assholes that gave us years of "Russian collusion."

the 1/6 insurrection is maybe the dumbest shit ever. complete and utter waste of time. and I hate that word insurrection- such a loaded word - as if a rag tag band of around 800 unarmed toothless drunk hillbilly losers could launch an insurrection and overthrow the US gov't. LMFAO. Give me a f**king break already.

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

It's a pretty broad definition, and there were instances of violence obviously.

I can think of one, for sure.

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

It's a pretty broad definition, and there were instances of violence obviously.

Insurrection is a loaded word. It's a legal term that implies much more than a sporadically violent riot on government property.

And yeah, it was such a violet uprising that only 4 people died that day- all of which were the hillbilly rioters. Two rioters died of a heart attack, one rioter was a meth head tweeker that died of a meth overdose, and a fourth rioter was shot in the neck by a police officer. The Capitol police officer Sicknick that the media FALSELY claimed died because his brains got bashed in by a fire extinguisher - yeah that never happened. Medical examiners autopsy showed he died a day or two later of natural causes.

As for the "arms" they were "armed" with - baseball bat, metal flag pole, crowbars, pepper spray. Where are the guns? Armed IMPLIES guns. You don't say someone was armed when they have a baseball bat. You say they are armed when they have a freaking gat - not a bat.

It's hyperbole hysteria designed to get people worked up and sell the public on bullsh*t like an extra $2 billion in funding for the Capitol Police and an expansion of their reach and power. A completely secretive agency with no transparency to the public that is not subject to FOIA laws. Yeah, let's give them $2 billion more and have them open offices in states all over the country. Give them more power. What could possibly go wrong? They won't ever abuse new said power....whoops....looks like they've already started
