If ya wanna know why the Ukrainians would rather die than live under a new Soviet nightmare. Nazis aside, since they ain't around much or in power, however Stalin's heir is and he has a dream.

The Russians are a miserable people, always were.
Never underestimate an adversary, that's what got Vlad into trouble, Hitler too!The Russians are a miserable people, always were.
They've never truly lived in a Democracy, just being under the rule/thumb of one individual whether it be a Czar or a Commissar.
They have mostly been slaves in reality & it shows it shows in their Art.
Their authors couldn't/wouldn't write anything humane, all loss & death & the misery of being a human being
Nice
Forget painters, they don't exist (hard to do when your drunk)
Music also is dismal.
Nope, they aren't a happy group.
Oh no, I would never underestimate the Russians like the French & Germans did.
Well they have possibly the greatest short story writer in the history of literature in Chekhov. They have a whole slew of the greatest writers of fiction the world has ever seen in Dostoyevsky, Gogol, and Tolstoy. Turgenev's, A Sportsman's sketches is also short story writing to rival Maupassant, even your own Hemmingway or Henry Lawson for that matter. If loss and death and misery are not humane then maybe we need to redefine our terms.The Russians are a miserable people, always were.

Ya wanna be nice to China, one demon at a time! The rest of the world is more important to China than Russia, they have it made and won't want to fuck up a good thing. Help them with their energy issues, better they buy from Iran than Russia etc. Everybody is going green new grid and EVs in a decade, especially China, the demand for oil will diminish and when Russia gets to sell any it will be like fucking coal and will be worth a lot less than it is now! Iran probably knows this too and can be China's energy hinterland.
lol sure we are, that is why Putin had to get Steven Seagall for their bullshit movies.
no, feel welcome to be wrong as many times a day as you want to be wrong, that's how children learn, by having people point out to them when they're wrong...many children don't like being told they're wrong, and shout and stomp their feet, and even threaten...but they're still wrongTrue, that's how we know now that the A bomb is quite efficient
Coz that's what they did. Just tried the bomb on practically already defeated Japan
Edit: don't want to start the topic again la~ sorry la~~
You make it obvious that you know arrogant uninformed wankers from the inside out.
Oh, hi,
and it's kind of sad. it's like watching retarded diabetics vote to eat sugar by the spoon fulls, they're happy now, but when they start to turn yellow from kidney failure and drop to the floor twitching and foaming at the mouth, guess who gets to clean up the mess...again?
Friend, it doesn't seem to matter who is in power in Russia historically it is never good for the poorer people. I am not trying to justify the acts of a harsh and brutal dictator but great novels are written under those conditions usually. Hence the lack of great American novels since the Civil war.
no, i must not acknowledge that...Ukraine was attacked on numerous occasions by russia...i don't recall Ukraine attacking russia for control of Crimea, or Donetsk, or Luhansk...just russians being aggressive fucking pricks who want to ressurect an empire better left dead.
There have been plenty of great American novels and wars too!
'both sides' trolling with a heavy dash of racism induced blindness.
