I knew we were heading down a bad road as soon as I saw people pouring out "Russian" vodka, oblivious to the fact that Stolichnaya is made in Latvia, a NATO country. The emotionally challenged are out in full force, extremely proud of their ignorance. God help us.

Her : I’m Ukrainian
Them: Why does your restaurant says Russia
Her: Until a week ago, you guys didn’t even know where Ukraine was😑

Human stupidity is infinite indeed. Treating people like that because of their nationality is unfair, unacceptable and it makes things worst.

[redman]

I did find it odd how those who condemn the treatment of the Japanese in America during WW2 are so quick to discriminate towards Russian citizens right now.

[laylaali]

I am always astonished the stupidity of some people who can’t separate actions of government from the ordinary people.

[grizelda]

What a treat to see Anna on the show!
Love Red Scare.
Well done.

The ones calling everyone xenophobic are now actually xenophobic…

[arthurfonzarelli]

It's nice to know that that things really haven't changed all that much in the last century. I remember reading horrible stories about World War 1 where people attacked German saloon owners and beat Dacshunds and German Shepherd dogs to death

[Wildchile]

after the pandemic and now this, i’m starting to deeply understand why people dislike liberals

[alexandrorocca]

This is not different from blaming Asian Americans for the pandemic. Stop this insanity, we don't need more hate.

[CharlieTWilbury]

WTF is wrong with people? One can support the people of both countries while not condoning the actions of their governments.

[aleksandr]

I am Russian, born in Lithuania and now live in Malta. Here have already been several cases of attacks on Russian-speakers from Latvia. People just went crazy. This is not the first war, and not the most violent, but this is the first time I see such a reaction and anger in society. I heard that a clinic in Germany refused to provide medical care to Russians (nationality, not citizenship).

She had me at making fun blue and yellow yoga pants culture

[Sphaatikhaa]

I feel so bad for the Russian people. I never want to be hold responsible for all the terrible inhumane policies
that the American government has inflicted both domestically and abroad.

[EricDaMAJ]

This whole war is like a watching a bad sitcom rerun on TV late at night with no other channel available, hoping it ends better than the first time I saw it. Remember "freedom fries?"

[josephclark]

She is fantastic. I haven't heard of her until now! Thank you!!!

[FM-lnsb]

Rania Khalek has excellent interview with scholar and anti-war activist in Russia. Interview is on Breakthrough News on Youtube.

[hezepe]

ahh reminds me of “Freedom Fries”, back when we were mad at France for not going in with us in the Iraq war.

[BasedPoliwhirl]

Going back to watch Anna on The Realignment was really worth it. Ep. 75 for those interested.

Nick Mullen on next please

[NakasDougen]

This is the crossover episode I didn’t know I needed
