I mean, we all knew for a long time that something like this had probably been planned for a long time. At least, we suspected it. And still, many people are trying to somehow normalize what’s happening and pretend it’s all just temporary.
And you definitely shouldn’t underestimate all the people who are celebrating what’s happening there.
Exactly…and I’ve got a gay daughter in LA, who works in a clinic in East LA, a very Hispanic community. We talked last night, and though she’s a strong person, even she is a bit frightened…though probably more for her patients.
I’d move to Netherlands, Costa Rica, New Zealand if I didn’t have lots of money tied up in accounts that require a huge penalty to get out of, and could talk my daughters into going also. They, though, are both still young in their careers, and likely loathe to leave now.

The usual tankies like Galloway,Alexandr Dugin but also Alez Jones and more importantly now, Musk’s father.
These are all metting lavrov. It is usually not easy to get to meet Lavrov, but he has time for Dugin’s important conferance.
Exactly! I actually was going to post a reply earlier to @bekloppt. Of course it’s easier to say than do - it’s just when you consider how things may get significantly worse it’s worth thinking through any leaving options that may be open to you.
