19. No, but they are willing to die for Russia.

I haven't been reading Pravda and Izvestia lately. Time to start reading them again. See what they are writing about Ukraine. Okay reading some articles. From Pravda, America has the nuclear submarine USS New Mexico headed for Russian Waters. Russian navy will intercept. Russia readies to deploy missiles in Cuba and Venezuela. From Izvestia, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov "It is primarily Washington's geopolitical project, an attempt to expand its sphere of influence by getting new instruments for strengthening its position, which Washington hopes will eventually allow it to dominate this region.". This is what the Russian people are reading and seeing on tv. Russian propaganda is like if not better than Fox and others. Even without it, the Russian people remember how many times Europe and the U.S invaded Russia, At the end of WWII, Churchill wanted England and the U.S. to invade the Soviet Union. His military told him that we would lose that war. Even though the U.S. and Russia have agreed that they won't use nuclear weapons if they go to war, if Russia sees that it will lose, it will use any means available to win.
