They don't need to bomb workers or unions any more because most of the jobs have been moved to Commie China & third world slave labor sweatshops |

Like Africa and middle east, some borders are drawn plain wrong. They dont suit the people, just the colonial masters who divided them up - like Kurd's part of Iraq. |

More and more people within Russia, even at the top, are beginning to think that he's slightly mad, that he is not conducting an intelligent effective policy, but is weakening and isolating Russia. And, if push comes to shove, it's eventual fate might be to become a vassal of China |

Have mentioned Chamberlain moments several times already going on with regards to the Ukraine situation. Here is another nice article by someone who has been calling it that from nearly the very beginning when the supposed leader of the free world speaks with regard to the situation there and getting it calm there.
Chamberlain moment |

Krauthammer has always been kind of right-wing with his writings. He wants to fight? Send him. |

When Russia collectivized the Ukraine before WW2, hundreds of thousands starved to death. Since they were formerly part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire (Germany) there was little sympathy out of Moscow. |
Quote: |
During the War, many Ukrainians supported the Germans, and after it ended, former premier of the USSR Nikita Khrushchev was called the "butcher of the Ukraine" for allowing another 3 million to die of starvation. |
Quote: |
That we have many Ukrainians Russian-speaking may have been due to a migration dictated by Moscow to attempt a colonization of the area.
(I doubt whether we will ever have a USSR with the same territory as it did when it won the second world war.) |

You bring up an important point. Russians have probably committed atrocities against every country/ethnic group they've basically ever come in contact with. It's exactly why anyone who isn't a communist-wannabe in Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia (basically every neighbor Russia has that is not in the pockets of the Kremlin) hates Russia. |
Quote: |
Russia's atrocities (wholesale murder of millions) in the Ukraine are accepted as fact by pretty much everyone, except of course the Russians (queue Russian troll "where's the proof?" comment) |
Quote: |
The Soviet Communism/"Socialism" was pure Russian imperialism, enabling free movement of Russians all over the Eurasia subcontinent. I've always wondered how the Lithuanians were able to get rid of the Russians post-USSR, I'm sure Estonia and Latvia were wishing they were able to as well right now. |

Thanks for being here to always prove my point Dima! And just in case your stupid bullshit is believe by anyone: no, Nikita Khruschev was NOT ethnic Ukrainian. He was born in what is now Russia and was ethnically Russian. |
Quote: |
when I come to Poland, Lithuania, Estonia etc I speak Russian, I pay off police if I violate traffic and everyone loves me as I bring them money and they are really poor - that's the reality.
we don't learn their language but say in Latvia and Lithuania you can't get a good job not knowing Russian - that's the reality. |

Dima,
Looking at it from the West.. Getting away with everything.. Larceny, theft, police.. It's NOT a positive attribute. |
Quote: |
Not a dig at yourself, but towards corruption in general that most in the west understand is massive in scale in the Eastern European states and Russia itself. |

Economic dependency and or trade does create a relationship but does not mean they approve of Russian actions in its neighbours or do not fear they could get the same treatment (Lithuania, Lativia Estonia were taken over already once in the last 100 years and Finland, Poland attacked). |

nice photo showing a nature of the Ukranian army fighting in Donbas now
but of course everyone will blame Putin/Russia for attacking the Red Cross vehicles on march when they will be destroyed for towing those guns... |
