Blinken, You’re Insane
The first major destruction of Moscow dates back to the Mongol invasion of Russia. In 1238, the Mongols encircled Moscow, cutting it off from the outside world for five days. When they finally broke through, they set the city ablaze and slaughtered a large portion of its population.
Over a century later, in 1382, the Mongol Khan invaded again, swiftly crossing the flat plains leading to Moscow. The Russians, unprepared for such a rapid advance, were thrown into disarray. Those who remained in the city faced a horrific massacre.
The destruction was immense. The Mongols looted everything they could, burned the city, and left its streets filled with corpses—a gruesome scene reminiscent of a nightmare.
Two centuries later, in 1571, Russia was again embroiled in war. With its forces divided across several fronts, its enemies seized the opportunity, reaching Moscow with relative ease. Moscow’s geography—situated on an expansive plateau—made it particularly susceptible to attack. Entire settlements along the path to the city were destroyed.
History would repeat itself with Napoleon and later Adolf Hitler, yet here we are in 2024, and Moscow still stands under Russian rule.
I ask you, Anthony Blinken, in the classroom in the Ivy League school you attended, where you gained “real world experience” that you are out of touch with reality, did you think you could scare or deter Vladimir Putin?

Aren't they just wonderful! Her add to post is interesting. I have a son working on a pipeline in B.C. that was approved many years ago that I hadn't heard of as it never makes the news. Previously he worked on Trans Mountain which was major news daily.
