#khrushchev

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

As an observant listener of Mykhailo #Sheitelman's live podcast has pointed out, Trump administration, or at least Trump's envoy to #Russia #SteveWitkoff, has indirectly claimed that #Kursk is #Ukraine: in his interview to Tucker Carlson, Witkoff claimed that #Khrushchev, who was born in Kursk oblast, was Ukrainian.

The ignorant idiot tried to claim that Khrushchev gave Russian lands to Ukraine, and instead admitted that even some lands Russia kept to itself after WW1 were ethnically Ukrainian.

#Witkoff's #lies to the #American audience:

1. The #occupied regions are actually #Russian
2. The #referendums were #independent
3. #Russia controls all 5 regions
4. #Ukraine is an artificial patchwork created by #Khrushchev
5. #Putin has no intentions to claim other #Ukrainian regions
6. Ukrainian troops are encircled near #Kursk
7. Putin is #Trump’s friend
8. Putin wants #peace

Please stop these lies when you encounter them.

I was nine years old in 1956 when I read that #Russia's #Communist leader #NikitaKhrushchev said, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within….” I distinctly remember thinking at my tender age, “That will never happen.” And now I am horrified to see #Khrushchev's words coming true.

🥥 Destroyed from within.
David Brinkley, on November 18, 1956, reported on his NBC Nightly News show that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had said earlier that day, "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the United States. We will destroy you from within.”
On Monday, January 20, 2025, we'll be shoveling soil into the grave. 🥥

Turns out people of #Russia did not like capitalism as they spent the rest of the 90s impoverished as the oligarchs robbed them by buying up the nation for kopecks on the ruble. #Putin pulled them out of poverty which is why so many are blindly loyal to him. #Stalin was already seen as a bad guy during destalinization under #Khrushchev. While after enough time he finally helped win WWII, he refused to fight Hitler at first and locked himself away believing Hitler would never break their pact and it took the local peoples to fight them for several months before he did anything finally. Stalin locked up 3% of the nations population, the only nation to beat that level of prison population is the US with .7% of its population in prison roughly 5 to 10 years ago at its peak, North Korea might be higher be we have no real data on the nation. Around 1991, the top 3 nations with highest % in prison we the US, South Africa and the soviet union in 3rd. Prior to Nixon the soviet union have roughly the same percentage they had in 91, but we had half or less the prisoners they did. We did have lynchings though.Oddly enough it was Putin that has given him a rehab. #ussr

Flame me all you want. It's so obvious outside sources are promoting protests and violence within USA. Everything from #Gaza to #climate to #guns to #health. Their goal is to divide and destroy our country. Promote civil war. Incite the mentally gullible. Pay our politicians to sow discord. Make Americans hate other Americans. It's been the plan for decades. "We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!" #Khrushchev

For those trillions of dollars that #Russia has received over the past 20 years, it was possible to completely rebuild the entire country, make warm roads, and resettle the dying northern cities.

Instead, the authorities created an unbearable environment consisting of crumbling #Khrushchev-era buildings, rotten barracks, pawnshops, and liquor stores, the only reason for existence in which is war - #Maxim_Mirovich

1960. Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. One for the history buffs. Hungarian leader János Kádár playing shuffleboard on the Soviet passenger liner Balitka on his way to the US for the XVth session of the UN General Assembly. That's Nikta Khrushchev on the right, and possibly, Alexei Kosygin of the left.

'He told me that there were now two options. The first was that Mr. #Putin would be replaced somehow, and that a period of reform would start, as under #Khrushchev after #Stalin .

“The second option, which is more realistic, is that the regime stays in place and #Russia will be slowly dying,” Mr. Orlov said. “It will fall behind other countries, and to make this regime stable, the level of repression will rise.”

Just started watching a movie called, "The Courier."

Starts with a speech from #Khrushchev talking about the horrible imperialists in the West. #USSR is of course amazing in the speech.

Same narrative as the BS we're hearing now from Pisspot #Putin. Do these people ever get tired of all of the lies? Russian gov. makes my head hurt.

My brain can't dumb itself down enough for that mentality. No wonder #Trump wishes he were Russian.
