WAR IN EUROPE!

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?

Some of these things I still miss

I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
