In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups.

      I remember really liking, I think it was Call of Duty 4 (?) as a kid because the main character was a Soviet soldier, and it was such a fresh perspective for that kind of game.

        Are we thinking of World at War maybe? The one where you were a sniper stealthily sneaking through the Red Square with a Mosin Nagant?

        That game was amazing. Along with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I’ve played it through multiple times.

        MoH:AA also featured a brief stint as the Soviets, too.

        I remember Call of Duty 3 on the Wii had a section where you played as a Polish tank crew!

          Yeah I think it was World at War. MoH games were cool too, but back then before online, CoD single player games were so much more cinematic
