    PLEASE USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN SANDING GLASS! The tiny glass dust particles are sharp and can couse serious lungs problems. Actually the glass dust is also extremely harmful to the eyes and skin. So please protect yourself well next time! Anyhow, this project is incredible Mike!

    “America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.”
    - John Quincy Adams, 1821
    Dear Americans! Your Russian enemy is here, and now I am going to tell you everything you need to know about the war in Ukraine.
    Once upon a time, seven centuries before America had been discovered, a nation called Rus’ was formed on the Russian plains with its capital in Kiev. As time went on, this nation-state entered a period of feudal fragmentation (go ask your European friends what does it mean). After reuniting the country the seat of power moved to Moscow (as sometimes happens, to which your German friends can attest), and then to Saint Petersburg. NB: the people of Russia were united throughout this entire period, and neither Ukrainians nor a Ukrainian government existed until the Communist Revolution of 1917. There were only Russians, a people consisting of three subethnic communities: Great Russians, Little Russians, and Belarussians.
    In 1917, Vladimir Lenin seized power and declared that the peoples of Russia have the right to self-determination, going as far as allowing them to separate from the state. The sub-ethnos of Russians that were known as Little Russians suddenly became independent Ukrainians. A noble cause, you say? Keep in mind that Lenin didn’t ask any of these nations whether they wanted this principle to be realized; not a single referendum was held, nor were there basic surveys conducted. Thus, in this unilateral manner, driven by the whims of a single man, Ukraine was created as one of the Republic of the Soviet Union. In this republic the people were forced to study the Ukrainian dialect and had to call themselves Ukrainians. Those who refused lost their jobs and those who continued to refuse were murdered. Half of Lenin’s Ukraine consisted of purely Russian regions - the entirety of the eastern and southern parts of the newly-formed republic.
    The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and independent Ukraine appeared (for the first time in history). A state cult of Nazi collaborationists emerged immediately in this newly formed Ukraine. Ukrainian guerillas joined up with radical Muslim terrorists, who later launched several terrorist attacks on our Russian metro. At this point a third of the Ukrainian population was still ethnically Russian and the majority of the population of Ukraine considered Russian to be their native language.
    However, the Ukrainian government did not give up. They set on eradicating education conducted in Russian. Why? Well if the majority of the country was Russian, then what could possibly justify Ukraine’s existence? This question fermented in the minds of all Russians and Ukrainians throughout the state’s history. Meanwhile, corrupt oligarchs and the government knew the true answer - to freely rob the Russian/Ukrainian people. Both the elder and the younger Bidens clearly understood it and the latter found himself comfortably employed in a cushy position at the Burisma Holdings.
    The process of ‘Ukrainization’ went on until it peaked in 2014. Then a part of the Ukraine’s population could no longer stand this historic fate and rebelled.
    Well-minded citizens of Ukraine did not take this process and fate as ‘nobly’ as Lenin had.
    And just like that 42 people were executed and burned alive in Odessa. All across Ukraine Russian activists were beaten, thrown in Ukraine Security Service’s torture chambers, massacred in the streets. We are not complaining to you because this is not your war, Americans, but you have to understand exactly whom you are defending.
    Russians of Donbass region took to the streets to rally peacefully. Ukrainians crushed these rallies with APCs, quelled them with gunfire. Peaceful rallies turned into an armed uprising lasting eight years. All those years the Ukrainian government constantly shelled Donbass, killing Russian civilians en masse and murdering children. Just ponder on this for a moment: Ukraine killed 13,000 people prior to the start of the Russian operation.
    Diplomacy failed. Every agreement regarding Donbass was thwarted by the Ukrainian side. Ukraine was not prepared to give the Russians of Donbass neither the right to speak their native language, nor to bear the name of their nation, nor even the basic right to express their views. The only thing that Ukraine wanted to do in relation to Donbass was to take it over by force, to murder all dissenters, and to secure its resources.
    And now it has finally been decided to solve the Ukrainian issue. Our indecisive president has been delaying military action for eight years. Our nation has been waiting for eight years.
    Now you and your self-declared global civilized community attack us with sanctions in response. And for this you will pay.
    In fact, you already are and you will continue to pay. You will pay for it at your gas stations and at grocery stores, at your homes and yes, even in space. But what exactly are you paying for? You pay for the right of Ukrainians to murder people for their ‘unpleasant’ nationality. You will freeze at home because you have traded comfort for the flames of death camps for Russians. You will drive less and at a greater expense so that the Ukrainian Nazis may murder more children. You will eat less and spend more so that your corrupt President may supply arms to people who cower behind human shields. Your dreams of colonizing space will fade away so that the fighters of Nazi battalions may continue to commit war crimes. Right now they are shooting civilians in the back for attempting to flee beseiged cities. They kill, torture, and skin prisoners-of-war alive. They bomb residential areas. You will pay an enormous price for taking sides with injustice and lies.
    Yes, we shall pay too. We shall pay so that the genocide of Russian people will come to an end. We shall pay to see the justice restored. We shall pay so that the heart and the name of our people will not be wiped out from the history of our land, the final resting place of our valiant Russian ancestors. We shall pay so that Ukrainian war criminals stop dancing on the bodies of our Russian children. We shall pay with our comfort and livelihood to stop this genocide. You will pay to keep it going.
    Do not get us wrong, Americans, we do not want war. Deep down we are a peaceful people. However, we are ready to pay a price tenfold to what you are willing to pay. We fight for life, you fight for death.
    I do not tell you what to do with Mr. Biden’s administration. However, your page in the world history after this episode will be marked with the honorary title “Proud Supporters of Genocide.” Are you really willing to do that?
    Sincerely yours,
    Russian invader
