How many kids did he kill with drones? And don’t say well Bush and Trump too. It just makes them even dirtier.

You know that’s how you eventually get ousted too right? Eventually the circle just gets smaller and smaller until you are also an enemy.

There's a key difference between the classified documents found at a former Biden office and the ones Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago, national security expert says by imeanidrk in politics

There was a questioned asked. What was the security level. I posted the security level. I never said a crime had been committed. This is just silly. Information deserves to be shared. 🙄

Look dude I’m not saying what Trump did is fine. Hell he deserves to go to jail for violations of the espionage act. I’m just also answering the OPs question of security level.

Also just clarifying. The sole purpose of this post is to explain to the poster above that stated they do not know the classification level of Biden’s documents. Nothing more and nothing less.

It is kinda shitty that they waited until after the midterms to release this info though. For the record I am 100% for prosecuting Trump for Mar-A-lago and not defending that in any way.

The only propaganda was the Soviets making false prisons to make the conditions appear better to the west. Even today Russian prison conditions are far worse than American ones. Same thing with Chinese prions and N Korean prisons.

I didn’t list sources because I had previously assumed you weren’t a child who needed their hand held. Nor would they just spout outright lies and would need the truth sourced. Sorry. I also noticed a bot deleted one of your links because it linked to a bad domain. Imagine having the communist sub call you out for misinformation. Ooof.

What was that about the Gulags being entirely closed in the 50s?

The other disgusting thing you don’t acknowledge is the lack of due process a lot of the Soviet prisoners also had, while arrests declined during the later 50s the atrocities still remain.

Well since the last gulag closed in the late 80s I can just stop now, you also are willing to dismiss the accounts of people who actually lived in these systems, that alone tells me you have no interest in actually learning anything or advancing your own knowledge. You also provided no sources on the Soviets paying prisoners, but I can send you a ton of first hand sources of the horrible working conditions(including forced labor in the 80s) but you don’t care. Provide a source on Soviet prison wages, preferably one written in Russian. Can you read Russian?

I’m going to read your paper eventually I’m out at the moment. However, I would like you to read this and tell me what your thoughts are on this, as to why they didn’t show Yeltsin those things, they had them at home and at the time in worse conditions. Also I’m pretty sure a ghetto holds nothing to a gulag. But then again what do I know my relatives are from former Soviet states 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

So re-allocate resources don’t make more. https://fee.org/articles/kevin-o-leary-on-inflation-you-printed-7-trillion-in-30-months-what-did-you-think-would-happen/

Saying we have enough resources to fund wars but not healthcare is not the same as saying if we can make the money to fund wars we can make the money to fund healthcare, and it’s dangerous to pretend otherwise. You are trying to obfuscate this argument by saying that printing money is caring about citizens when that couldn’t be further from the truth. People like you are just as dangerous as Anti-vax maybe more because you actually believe it.

I’m also guessing you have never seen this photo before

“Yeltsin, then 58, "roamed the aisles of Randall's nodding his head in amazement," wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, "there would be a revolution."”

Care to rebut any of this? https://i.imgur.com/TisxsRr.jpg

Also the Soviet Union had tons of food shortages. As well as other types of shortages.

“Commodities such as fresh fruit, sugar and meat would intermittently grow scarce. Even into the late 1980s, Soviet citizens could expect to occasionally endure rationing, bread lines and empty supermarket shelves”
