Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
So… got a wee bit crocked last night…
T’was well past due as I hadn’t had -anything- for a few weeks… not a lot mind you, but just a wee bit, which considering this’s St. Patty’s Day tomorrow, and my former ‘usual adventures’ were usually along the lines of “Epically Hammered” to “Downright Comatose” for the duration of said Holiday…
Lets face it, I earned it this week.
Now, as I am when I’m a wee bit on the blitzed side, I went surfing and found out that there’s a place where you can write the Leader of the Russian Federation itself, Vladimir Putin himself. No shit… The website is set up for complaints, comments, and general inquiries for the citizens of the Russian Federation to ask Mr. Putin to look into certain things.
Historically, this whole premise dates back to Stalin, who allowed people to show up to the Kremlin to petition and ask him ‘stuff’… not for nothing in Stalin’s day it might not go well, but at least the man had a way of having the Vox Populi address him directly… and it seems that VodkaManBad, i.e. President Putin has a modern website set up to allow the common folks to ‘hit him up’ so to speak.
Now granted, it’ll be a flunky or bureaucrat who probably reads and either ignores it, or, on rare occasion, elevates it (the message/inquiry) ‘up the Chain’ so to speak… Maybe to “The Man” himself. This being something that is pretty much non-existent/non-starter in our supposed ‘participatory Representative Republic’… Us ask our Betters and Leadershit a question? The audacity!!!
Reason I know is that when I had an unfortunate run in with the Kuwaiti Authorities back in the day over a Visa issue, and as I was facing a possible lockdown in a Kuwaiti Jail, the now X-Wife contacted our reps at the time… Senate AND CONgresscritter(s)…
Literally it was like 3 months later (after my shit had been LOOOONG straightened out, FedBro being the one who yanked some strings to save my ass…) did we get ONE FUCKING LETTER from the CONgresscreature stating they “…understood our concerns…” and that they’d “…look into it…” All the while when I was looking at being locked up in a Kuwaiti Jail…
No follow up
ZERO Calls or Assistance
Fucking COCKSUCKERS, one and all.
Anyway, finding this, I decided it’d be cool to see ‘what happens’ if I send the Leader of The Russian Federation a note… This’s What I wrote in it’s entirety:
“Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich.
My name is Big Country Expat, a married 54 year old US Citizen and 14 tour combat veteran (as a contractor) of Iraq and Afghanistan. I served the United States Army as an Infantryman and M1A2 Abrams Tanker.
I wish to congratulate you on your standing firm against the insanity that NATO and my current government is perpetrating against both you personally, and Russia itself. I spent a little less than ten years in the US Army (1990 to 1999, Gulf War One) and was medically retired due to injuries in line of duty. After, I could not stay away, so when 9/11 happened, and my country needed me, I went back into action as a contractor, and did 14+ tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as working at Guantanamo Bay as well. I served roughly from 2004 to 2014 +/-. Some of my positions were like Wagner, and I will say I loved serving and supporting my fellow soldiers.
This was before I became completely disillusioned with the evil that my current Government became, and the evil that is now being perpetrated against both Russia AND the Ukraine.
Both countries, Russia and the Ukraine have a long history, and by all rights should be brothers/partners.
Unfortunately, ‘other groups’ that cannot be publically named have taken control in order to avenge whatever slights that they feel were put against them in the past. It’s a tragedy for all concerned. They are intentionally having Orthodox Christians kill each other for their amusement/revenge.
My reason for reaching out to you is that daily, I grow more concerned, not by your actions, but by actions taken and not-yet taken by various other Governments. The ramping up of hostile rhetoric has me plainly afraid. The French (cheese eating surrender monkeys, how I loathe those people) seemed to not have taken a lesson when Your Rodina utterly crushed Napoleon back in the day. The Germans also seem to have forgotten their lessons as well… You’d think that Kursk might have taught them a lesson, and the utter failure of the Leopard 2 in combat must have Guderian rolling in his grave… (Unlike most Americans, I’m highly educated on the realities regarding who did the ‘heavy lifting’ in what you call “The Great Patriotic War Against Fascism”.)
Currently, My fears are that you may be forced to take extreme action. Like as in “Glow In The Dark” Satan Level Action… And if so, well… as we in the Infantry would say, and pardon the language, but “Shit Happens.” but I’d REALLY prefer for this NOT to happen. This email itself will probably have me hit as a traitor as the Retard-in-Chief, our “Theoretical (p)Resident” or rather the people pulling the puppet’s strings have no tolerance for going against them or speaking out against their agenda…. to them? I’m a bug to be squished. You, however have to do what is best for you and yours…
That being said
Please find attached a picture of my two Grandchildren:
The oldest is Kylie Rose, now age 6, holding a picture of her newly born sister Adriana Grace, now 2. Addy was born that morning, and Kylie got to see her for the first time via the tablet she is holding… the purity and love on her face says it all…. They are My World, and I would literally do ANYTHING to keep them safe. -I- would destroy anything or anyone who would bring harm to them…
I beg of you Vladimir Vladimirovich, that IF you have to go to ‘extreme measures’ to stop the Metastasizing Cancerous Evil that NATO is currently involved in, Please just make sure you go after the people at the top… as the old maxim states: “When the Elephants fight, the Grass suffers.” Unfortunately, myself and my Granddaughters are the grass…
Do what you have to do, but if you can, leave folks like me and my Grandbabies out of it. Turn D.C. or Paris into a glowing gopher hole of a crater… it matters not to me nor mine… I and a lot of us in the states are good with that… we utterly despise what this country and its “leadershit” has unfortunately become. We just want to be left ALONE. What’s even worse? I gave the largest part of my life for a lie and an ungrateful bunch of greedhead scumbags who should be hung, rather than dictating things that could get me and mine killed… That’s what really hurts….
Again, I thank you for your kind attention, and wish you well.
Best Regards
Big Country Expat

Soooo
Nothing yet.
Neither from the Russians, and I figure IF I’m going to have a Q&A with the Feds, it’ll be on Monday, maybe Tuesday. Which hey, Nothing I said is false amiright? Might be some shit about ‘aid and comfort’ but man, considering the amount of legit terrorists our current leadershit has been ‘assisting’ getting INTO the country en masse, they got nothing to hit me with.
Now the funny thing about the website.
First, I used my real name. A lot of you know it, but still, I changed it out for whatever lil OPSEC is left out there, and two, when I -did- put my name in the boxes (patronymic and regular name) it wouldn’t take it until I translated it to Cyrillic, which was pretty wild.
If you’re feeling a bit frisky with the whisky like I did last night, the webpage is: http://en.letters.kremlin.ru/
Like I said, it may or may not be ignored, but Hell…
As the song goes “Shake the Foundations” whenever, and however you can.
More Later
