How does this not have more upvotes?


I for one do not see this worth upvoting. Even if it has some good (even admirable) ideas, they are buried in a lot of noise. After reading the whole thing I find it resembling more to a writing exercise than to an article that wants to say something.


"And yet the three of them together, they look just amazing. They are fantastic figures, like the promise of otherworldly aid from a superhero comic. They are visibly stronger than they’ve ever been before. They have the initiative in a world afflicted with comprehensive helplessness.

And there’s more coming. Lots, lots more."

Grand theater and great pic, Bruce. You and Vince Gillian I hope are writing the screenplay.


Is this an accurate depiction of Russians?
