I may get dragged for this but I saw this about a year ago. It’s a powerful image of national/cultural pride. This is what Ukraine is fighting. Love of country and a common culture, which the Left wants to kill in the US. Look at those kids.

I grew up in the Cold War and watched Reagan own Gorbachev in Reykjavik. Celebrated the wall coming down. Not saying they’re our allies, but it’s a different time.

Rough translation of lyrics:

I'm Russian. I'll fight to the end
I'm Russian, my father's blood flows in me
I'm Russian and I'm fortunate with this fact
I'm Russian to spite the whole world

You will get dragged, but I have no issue with pride in one's nation. I hope someday to feel that again. I hope we stop being the gayest nation on earth and project real values to the world again.

Nice propaganda piece. Intermixing Russian history with current day commentary…

On par with what the Ministry of Russia is Awesome is known for producing.

Russians should have pride in their country.

Just like Americans should have pride in the USA.

Normalize having pride in your nation.

When you survived Napolean, Kaiser Whilheml II and Hitler invading your country by sure will to survive crazy conditions and throwing bodies at the problem, your country tends to have some national pride and identity.

No issue with this at all.

It’s cultural (and it shows up in the language) but they see each other and the nation as an extended family. There’s a collective identity there that the Greeks would have understood, but that has largely disappeared in the modern West.

One of our problems is that without this sense of kinship, it’s very hard for us to defend our values and ultimately our civilization.

Ukraine is fighting an invading Army. The Ukrainians didn't lay siege to Moscow.

We would smash them into oblivion.

You live in the greatest country ever built with the greatest military ever assembled.

Every other country and event that has happened historically is nothing compared to what the US can do on a global scale this second.

I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

They have pride in what? Being the poorest white people in the world?

There are probably at least 5 countries who can erase the human population with the click of a button. I'm as American as you can be but I'm confused on what you are trying to say here.

Maybe, but that really is not the point. Having true pride in one's nation goes beyond military. Having pride in culture, history and national identity. In the USA half the country hates our history and our culture has no discernable rallying point.

Imagine having pride living under the boot. They must get used to it.

You want to live under the boot of wokeness and leftism. That is worse than anything Russia pushes.

We have already fallen. It just happened so slowly that most people didn't notice.

No, its not that simple but ok.

I am simply saying in a war we bend over everyone if and when we want.

Imagine hating your country and anything “nationalistic”, but promoting pride of skin color, gender or lack thereof and sexual deviancy.

Ukraine was the aggressor.

You okay with enemy troops on the US borders? If so why?
