Russia will accept all those who disagree with the Western agenda

"Are you talking about Biden? I appreciate your frankness))))"

Biden is a senile old man who got the boot.

You see, in the West, we don't get to have leaders for life.

Putin will most likely suffer the same fate soon, probably a more permanent one.

If you accept Russian citizenship and renounce your previous citizenship, then you become a Russian citizen. Accordingly, along with all the benefits, you also receive responsibilities. Including military duty. Is it different in the USA?

In the US we are not subject to forced military service. Draft isnt used anymore.

I was pleasantly surprised at the price of rental in the centre of Moscow RT and how clean and safe it is especially for women late at night after watching a YouTube channel of a Scottish guy in Moscow
m.youtube.com...

And St Petersburg is even cheaper to rent a property according to the video , the only thing I would have a BIG problem with is Russias oppressive cannabis laws for people like me .

But country living would also be a no no out in Russia as the living standards go down drastically

So Russia is running out of people to throw at the war in Ukraine and they are opening the doors to have replacements come in ... cannon fodder. Got it. Thanks.

100% agree with you and it's obvious to us westerners.

However, it seems we are outnumbered by Russians when it comes to ATS.

Wow! I'm sure, after reading this, two thirds of ATS members will buy one way tickets.

I realize you wrote that before all the stars and flags came in, and you meant it as a joke, but it seems most ATS members don't need a ticket to Russia -- they just need to open their front door.

Does that-there decree mention Putin resigning as a WEF Young-Global-Leader, renouncing Agenda 2030, vax passports, CBDCs, and the BIS led central-banking system ?

Didn't think so ...

Russia is in severe population decline, as you can see from their population pyramid:



A population pyramid shows the relative sizes of different age cohorts over time. For a growing population, each age cohort is slightly smaller than the one below it, and it takes the shape of a classic pyramid cross-section. When a particular age cohort (let's say 30 to 40 year olds) is smaller than the ones above it, that means that births were not keeping pace with deaths, and the population was shrinking. You can see that the first big decline occurred about 35 years ago. That coincided with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the subsequent economic chaos. The next biggest decline occurred about 10 years ago. The analyst Peter Zeihan predicted that Putin would invade Ukraine in 2022 because that would essentially be the last opportunity to do so before there aren't enough 18 to 20 year olds around to form an army.

China is in even worse shape, BTW, due in part to their 1 child policy.

Once a population pyramid becomes inverted enough, there aren't enough citizens of child bearing age to reverse the trend and the only way to keep things stable is to allow immigration. Historically, the 4 main countries that have relied on and encouraged immigration for population growth are New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the US. Fertility in the US is also below replacement, but we are mostly compensating for it by immigration.

I think Putin is looking at immigration to solve his problem, but he is trying to be selective in who he lets in.

This really seems to me like an invitation to Russian Diaspora to "return" to Russia.

That's probably the only people who would actually benefit. The special visa is only 3 months. That's a fairly sort time in which to learn Russian language, history, basics of Russian legislation, Orthodox catechism. Those who fail would have to leave or something.

a reply to: FullHeathen

Those who fail would have to leave or something.

That 'something' would be to go fight on the Ukrainian front.....pretty much the same if you were to stay.

And I personally just couldn't ever buy into that chip-on-the-shoulder, oppressed badge of honour thing.....it just seems to suck the soul out of people.

I'd like to say that I'm surprised that a lot of those who have spent the last two years or so championing Putin haven't jumped at the chance to move to this shining beacon of Freedom and Liberty......but I'm not, not at all.

I myself was born and raised in a Muslim country - Baku, Azerbaijan. That's why I'm writing this topic on our forum. Everyone here who knows me knows this.
Yes, and my ex-wife was born and raised in Turkmenistan. I know what I am writing to you about.))))

Im sorry you both had to go through that, I'm sure Russia seems like a step or two up for you both.

My point remains, Russia isn't getting lots of Westernized persons knocking on its doors, no matter how lousy our government is.

It's a moot point, Russia isn't like America where you can live in any state you want to, or travel back and forth, or have I been misinformed

If I were isolated and had enough land I suppose I could summer on Lake Baikal just fine, I just don't know where in Russia proper I'd want to winter in.

Im partial to the beach like a tropical beach or the Appalachians in fall and winter but I would doubt any locale in Russia is far enough away from the sour aroma of Communist socialism.

If it were wouldn't there be dozens of people on boats leaving depressed areas of Miami like Liberty City and Overton for Havana

LOL, I’ve been wondering about this for a few weeks.

The thread comments don’t seem to reflect the poster’s popularity.

The scary part is that informed citizens in western countries know just about all the inns and outs of this developing war with Russia. Their governments also know they know and have to spin what amounts to a fascist coup to their populations. Along with many distractions to keep the temper down. What is likely to occur in the near future is a paralyzing first strike by Russia on the west. After that Russia friendly governments will be installed after the trials and executions of most of the top brass in the west. To say that the west will win an invasive war with Russia is simply impossible because it is too vast to subdue plus it has all the bunkers ready for the retaliatory strike, this is so obvious one could ask is the west getting set up to fail and what are the reasons? to mount a war on this scale the general populations have to be on the side of the governments organizing it, and most in the west could not give a toss. Thats another reason why it will be nuclear to some degree.

This Russian general makes a lot of sense and is stating the obvious, but how did a satanic style cabal even get to take over the western democracies in the first place? or was this a Russian plan from long ago to steadily undermine the West? the longer it lasts the more extreme will be the medicine to balance the situation. It is at the stage where a Russian general advising a revolution from the grassroots in the west is only going to be interpreted as Russian propaganda so it seems the die is cast notwithstanding an act of God.

This is the original interview with the Russian general without CP take on it.

Not for me, yet, it didn't work out so well for the Americans that did that back in the 1930's, did it? I mean I know that was Stalin and that is different, but there is still something about Russia that makes me nervous. On top of that I know 3 ex Russians, and although they are not pro Ukrainian by any means, they do not want to move back to Russia.

Anyway, in your favor, I made a brief visit to a party that my youngest son was having and there were I would say 5 young American men there around the age of 22 to 24 and all of them had favorable views of Russia compared to the current USA.

I do not think alot of the old cronies here and elsewhere in the west understand that MANY of our American male youth does not have any love left for their globalist garbage. Heck, even the leftist kids are confused with their gays for Palestine nonsense. Anything to avoid the elephant in the room on their end I suppose.

Yeah. And I'm afraid if a forum war broke out, we would be in a more deplorable condition than poor Ukraine.

Fortunately for us I don't see "send a bomb" button anywhere.

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17: 20-21.

The war mongering criminal, Putin, isn't 'Christian' by any means. He is clearly working for the other side.

I have heard a rumor that Russians are not allowed to refer to the "military action in Ukraine" as a war. That bad things happen to those caught doing so.

But I suppose there must be a special exemption for people like PATRIARCH KIRILL, THE HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH (ROC)

It's "a holy war"

The World Russian People's Council led by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow has adopted an "order" that refers to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a "holy war" and states that "the entire territory of present-day Ukraine should be included in the area of Russia's exclusive influence". The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which has historically been linked to the Moscow Patriarchate, has dissociated itself from such statements.
...
The document was approved during a conciliar congress held on 27 March in Moscow and chaired by Patriarch Kirill.

In it, the war in Ukraine is described as "a new stage in the national liberation struggle of the Russian people against the criminal Kyiv regime and the collective West behind it, which is being waged in the lands of Southwestern Russia", and from a "spiritual and moral point of view", it is "a Holy War in which Russia and its people, defending the single spiritual space of Holy Russia, fulfil the mission of the Restrainer, who protects the world against the onslaught of globalism and the victory of the West, which has fallen into Satanism". [The Restrainer is mentioned in 2 Thess 2: 6-7 as holding back the Antichrist until the end times – ed.]
...

The document also refers to the "triunity of the Russian people" and claims that Belarusians and Ukrainians "should be recognised only as sub-ethnic groups of the Russians".

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church reacted to the Russian statement by distancing itself from the ideology of the Russian world.
Russian Orthodox Church calls invasion of Ukraine "holy war", Ukrainian church reacts

It seems to me that since Russian Christianity started in Kiev (current capital of Ukraine) in 988 with the baptism of the Rus' Grand Prince of Kiev—Vladimir the Great, that maybe ROC would like to reclaim its historical roots. The seat has been in a sort of "vacation" in Moscow since 1325. Perhaps ROC wants to go home to Kiev; but only if Kiev is Russian rather than Ukrainian.

On 27 February 2022, a group of 286 Russian Orthodox priests published an open letter calling for an end to the war and criticised the suppression of non-violent anti-war protests in Russia.[109] On 6 March 2022, Russian Orthodox priest of Moscow Patriarchate's Kostroma Diocese was fined by Russian authorities for anti-war sermon and stressing the importance of the commandment "Thou shalt not kill".[110] Some priests in the Russian Orthodox Church have publicly opposed the invasion, with some facing arrest under the Russian 2022 war censorship laws.[111][112][113] In Kazakhstan, Russian Orthodox priest Iakov Vorontsov, who signed an open letter condemning the invasion of Ukraine, was forced to resign.[114] Former Russian Orthodox priest Father Grigory Michnov-Vaytenko, head of the Russian Apostolic Church [ru] — a recognized religious organization founded by other dissident priests such as Father Gleb Yakunin — said that "The [Russian Orthodox] church now works like the commissars did in the Soviet Union. And people of course see it. People don't like it. Especially after February [2022], a lot of people have left the church, both priests and people who were there for years."

You are misinformed. Russian Orthodoxy was not born in Kyiv, but in Kherson in Crimea. Yesterday, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed a law officially banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. All that remains is to ban God.
