@captainklaus: Shiiiit! The things one gets used to.... I experienced this weird normality during war in Georgia, and reports from soldiers in the siege of Sarajevo had a lot of anecdotes of that weird normality while hiding between the front lines... War does change people and damages those who think it wise to fight. It is only a small elite that does grow during war, and what grows within them is terribly ugly.
@valued-customer: What tragedy, racketeers profiting from the stream of dead. I have heard that the Crocus terrorists were Tajiks, that fled towards the Ukraine in a Renault that was stopped in the Bryansk region, where two have been detained. I am glad you are able to report these events, but I am sad you have to report them. Edit: oddly, I have spent a sleepless night, while you have slept through the war soundly.
@patriamreminisci: The sounds of explosions are commonplace and don't bother me as much as they used to. I slept through at least 8 missile hits on my city sweet as a baby. As one who lived in Kharkiv and witnessed his students murdered by Russian artillery, as one whose fiancee grew up in Donbas and witnessed the Russian bombardment daily for eight years while subhuman pieces of shit like you tried to pretend it was Ukrainian, it's hard for me to listen to your sad, sick, pathetic attempts at an emmy here without laughing. You've never set foot in Ukraine and probably couldn't find it on a map if called upon to do so. You're an American, living somewhere in a trailer park in the Midwest, and your sad attempts to portray Russian citizens in Vladivostok waving the Yellow Black and Gold banner of the Russian imperial movement as ("GuUuUh... UkRoNaZiS!!!") is all it takes to make that plain. You don't fucking exist. You're a sock puppet account created by an American Russopublican in order to pretend that your miserable little russophilic claims had some semblance of validity. As one who has rock solid empirical proof of having lived in Ukraine, as a proud veteran of the Kharkiv territorial militia who is proud to have fought against the satanic ruZZistani murderers you cheer for, I say again: you don't fucking exist and your drooling, pathetic profile is a sad attempt to garner legitimacy so your FSB handler will increase your salary.
