In reply to the discussion: "Christian" family moves to Russia to escape LGBTQ, and now can't wait to leave their living hell [View all]Takket
(22,191 posts)38. I feel bad for these kids. This is abuse.
Their lives are upended. They have lost all their friends. They are being taught things that will make them unable to function as adults.
Poetic justice would be for the dad to be conscripted and sent to fight in Ukraine. Thats what he deserves. You want the life of a Russian man? Into Putins meat grinder with you. THAT is the life of a Russian man in this regime.
And stop whining about losing your money. Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.

OP
It's wonderful according to Tucker Carlson. Formally of Faux news. Where every report is tainted with lies.

I feel for the kids. Those two parents don't look like they have an IQ point between them.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West

I know I should not laugh at their misfortune because children are impacted but the parents deserve such a fate.

I suspect many of them and maybe even this Canadian father will be drafted into Russia's war against Ukraine.

When I was in the USSR, one of our favorite guides admitted she had been brought up in the Church as if she was ashamed

That's certainly a turnaround since I was there, but it's another sign that TFG is "following" Putin's example

Well Tucker Carlson did his little tour here in Canada recently and there were certainly enough stupids to attend.

Communism is long gone in Russia. The American right sees Putin as a White Christian king.
