And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I realize that it's something that the Russians enjoy. And there are people like Big Jim Comey and Beto O'Rorque that I'd like to get into a face-slapping contest with - so maybe we need to bring it here and citizens can compete with politicians.
russians have many many unrecognized Olympics level sports that have never made the big time in the world media. some of the front runners include the arcane "starve the peasant" game and "how far into arctic siberia can starving German POWs march in the winter" and that old favorite of Vlad the Impaler, "how many Ukrainians can you kill with just one bomb". Yes indeed, Russia; a land of colorful culture-blood red.
