  196.  @donvitocascioferro4040  the soviet Union also crushed its independence declaration in 1917 by military force, and first conquered Crimea in 1795. Until then it was run by the Tatars, a Turkic people who are the Crimea's indigenous people. They were deported by Joseph Stalin and replaced with ethnic Russians, which is called ethnic cleansing, or settlement policy if you prefer the more harmless phrase. Thus policy has been continued by Putin. Since 2014 1 million ethnic Russians have been resettled in the Ukraine, which has a population of 2.4 million, to make sure Crimea votes to be part of Russia in any independent future referendum. Do you know the history of the Crimea? I'm not sure you know that much.

  197.  @Benshafran  crimea belongs to turkic Tatars, its indigenous people. It was conquered by the Russian empire in 1795, since when there has been a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing. The main perpetrators of this are Stalin and Putin, a policy you no doubt approve of.

  201.  @zakariyeyahye5566  they are, except russia attacked the sovereign territory of a UN member again, Ukraine, who consequently have the right to invoke article 51, which gives the defender the right to call for assistance, military, sanctions etc. Countries including the US answered that call for assistance. Russia was pretty stupid to do that, because ukraine was bound to invoke article 51, and the free world was bound to be concerned by russia's aggression.

  239.  @kindmulberry7196  it's extremely difficult actually. I used to get contracts supply teaching because I wasn't tied down and could start quickly, but the bureaucracy around the work permit means I can't offer that anymore. It takes around six weeks, and why should an employer do that when they can hire someone with residence rights. Consequence; stuck in the UK in a poorly paying economy rather than earning well in Germany. I don't regret brexit, I'm very bitter that my fellow Britons took these rights from me.

  247. They deny Europe's existence anyway. They are taught there is no such thing as Europe, and that it is all Eurasia, and that they are its natural master, Europe itself being merely a collection of American vassal states, not a real culture in its own right. They see themselves as the heirs of the ancient Greeks, the Spartans not the democratic Athenians we venerate, and of the Roman Empire, calling themselves the third Rome. History is easy when you believe all that. It also explains why they see the Crimea as Russian. It has strong historical connections with ancient Greece and the Eastern Roman Empire, so for them it is very symbolic, although the history itself is empirically dubious and wrapped in myth.
    2
  248. They won't. They are all old anti-NATO former young socialist types, who delude themselves that Putin's russia is the heir of the USSR, not a klepticratic unstructured capitalistic madhouse.

  387. They can't think of a better plan than trying to bleed ukraine white through massed assaults at a single point, Bakhmut. Germany tried the same tactic in 1916 at Verdun. It failed and general Falkenheim was fired. Then they tried small unit tactics. It failed and they lost the war. Russia has moved to small unit tactics now. Defeat will follow as sure as night follows day, after their last desperate offensive fails next spring, like the Germans tried in 1918. Then the allies got tanks in numbers and pushed them out of France. This will happen in ukraine. History repeats itself.

  432.  @KyleTheDalek  your ignorance strikes again. The Irish and English have very similar dna profiles, around two thirds celtic and one third Germanic. If you tried learning something you would discover that the number of "ethnic" russians in ukraine (russian isn't actually an ethnic group; it is a mixed ethnicity country; Kazakis, yakutis, slavs, Tatars, etc, etc) in your racist world view is around 15% of the total. The highest concentrations are in crimea, donetsk (38%), Lugansk (35%). Kherson oblast, which you as a racist claim, is only 14% ethnic Russian. Of course in the 21st century modern countries reject ethnic views of nationality, and have a civic nationality model, which is inclusive towards ethnic and linguistic minorities, but because you are a racist from a backward country stuck in the 19th century you won't be able to comptehendctgst

  574. ​ @trumpforever6706 interesting that you should mention napoleon. Napoleon invaded russia with an army too big for the logistics system, which is why he lost, which is exactly what russia did in 2022. There is a reason russia does not have 5 000,000 troops in ukraine. It can't afford to supply them without American logistical and military support, which stalin received. The war will end with the economic collapse of one side or the other, France sustained 4,000,000 casualties with thd sane population as ukraine. At that rate, ukraine can keep going for another 25 years or so. But is the relatively small russian economy able to sustain 30% military spending, high inflation and high interest rates, and a weakening currency for much longer. It points to some sort of economic crisis relatively soon.

  778.  @LastShade  that's an easy one. Fascists always say there was a time in the past when everything was wonderful, and promise to return the country to that perfect state. MAGA is a perfect example of that. Then there is anti-immigration rhetoric, presenting the outside world as malign etc. The idea of the enemy at the gate is a very fascist theme, because fascists rule through fear of the other. Oh! Before I forget; they like the strong/charismatic leader thing.
