    I'm honestly concerned that Russia is going to do something drastic because they're getting wiped out.

    Removing the Republican party's muse would be a step in the right direction, but I do not feel that is ambitious enough. The Russian system needs to evolve or the country will continue rot and then crumble.

    I'm curious how they hit them because it looked like there was still shells falling as the other ships were trying to leave.
