“The Cold War did not end, it shattered into a thousand dangerous pieces. The West has grown weak, drunk on shopping and social media. Torn about by hatred between the races, and as a result, the world is in chaos. Only Russia is willing to make the sacrifices required for victory. For there to be peace we must once again place ourselves at the head of nations. From this day forward you will become sparrows, weapons in a global struggle for power. You have been selected because of your beauty, because of your strengths, and in some cases because of your vulnerability.”
