Why She Fights




Ah, the Crimea, the Black Sea, there's a spot of Earth a good Russian considers worth its weight in Georgian dead. You can see it in Putin's eyes, Georgie Deux. And the shining citadel on the hill is Sebastopol

I keep sayin', soviet nostalgia in Russia runs deep. Too bad Chekhov's dead. And Putin keeps whacking the up-and-comings.

Putin just doesn't dream of Soviet Sheep, he's making a new world for them

Applebaum has been talking about this shit for years. I hope she's doing alright.

Uh, oh. I see it coming. BTW, the Romanian Army once marched into the Crimea, and defeated the Soviets. Well, with a bit of help from, ahem, the Wehrmacht. Nothing to do with anything, but somehow those pics of Sevastopol reminded me of those long-forgotten battles.
