(#5375) I keep waiting for the Russian people but they keep disappointing

     As I wait for the Russian people to say enough of this craziness that is killing their youth I am left wondering how long if at all it will take them to stop their murderous leader? When will it dawn on them that maybe their own government is feeding them the propaganda and not the west. Same kind of deal here in America with stubborn republican base voters. It seems they too have much in common with the Russian people. They both are unwilling to believe the evidence right in front of their eyes. They will not allow reason or logic to invade their preset mindsets that the republican party has failed them.
     I suppose when Russia has no more young men left in their country will it finally dawn on the fathers and mothers who no longer have theirs. If only they had risen from their fear and worked to end the constant flow of death their children faced in Ukraine. I know it isn't easy on the fathers and mothers to rise up against a madness that has no good end but the worst case scenario is that they themselves will find that putin will force them into fighting when all the young men are gone. What other choice do they have? Should they keep letting putin destroy their children or should they find a way to end the reign of putin and they themselves demand an accounting of what horror their children were subjected to under putin and his kremlin allies.
     The fathers and mothers of nearly 300,000 young Russian men need to find their moral compass and put an end to their ruthless tyrannical leader's crusade to conquer the world. Otherwise their children died for nothing more than the delusions of a despicable excuse for a human being. Same with we here in America. As the republican party is on the verge of ending democracy as a party platform the voters who support them need to rise up and tell them NO! The easiest way for the republican voter to change their political party is for them to stop voting for the current mix of undesirable candidates. They need to be retired from office and then allow for a patriotic mix of candidates to vie for Congress. It is much easier for republicans to fix their problem here in America than for the Russians who have but one or two dangerous choices and both require courage beyond just voting.
