  1. True. The main problem is that their rulers make the people scared to control them, using this issue.

  2. Wouldn't it be nice if Russia could be emotionally mature enough to behave like a normal country. Is it really too much to ask of them?

  3.  @borovik8714  those that honor Bandera do it mostly because he fought against Stalin. If you know about the death famine, you would understand that. Ukrainians did join in the Holocaust, and so did poles, Hungarians, belorussians, Russians, Frenchmen, Dutchmen etc.

  4. We have 2% inflation and 4% interest rates. Check out Russia, then get back after you've enlightened yourself.

  5. ​ @jeffhicks8428  Not true. It was a popular uprising which lasted months and involved millions of people. It arose from the desire of Ukranians to be free of corruption.

  6. Unfortunately, Germany, for instance, has what it terms a "pragmatic" approach, and will gladly sacrifice Ukrainian interests for greater access to the Chinese market. This narrow economic self-interest will mean the end for the indepence of 45 million Ukranians, and. France, Italy and Spain have helped hardly at all. So much for European solidarity. Tragic and monumental stupidity.

  7. Our politicians sicken me. We are mostly decent people, and we want them to do something to stop this cruelty.

  8. "There is a war in a distant country, whose people we know little about." Neville Chamberlain, speaking about Czechoslovakia.

  9. Ireland belonged to the English/British crown for 800 years. We would not dream of invading her. So backward.

  13. The rejection of life as the pursuit of pleasure in favour of life as the pursuit of domination, fascism.

  14. Maybe Moses is an isolationist.

  15. ​ @Frank-kx6ky  I imagine there is much ideological cross-over between putinism and the ideology of apartheid, racism, exceptionalism, socially conservative, an elite group, the importance of internal security, ,but most importantly perhaps that advocates of the soviet empire, such as putin, and supporters of apartheid both experienced trauma from the collapse of their beloved systems

  16. Isn't the hard truth, that the US Republican Party is now working for the other side?

  17. It's the fear of modernity and iving in an age of rapid change which sends them scuttling for somebody who reciprocares their angst.

  24.  @Owlr4ider  a military which it is beyond the means of the country to sustain in the field for an extended period of time due to its economic weakness, see Crimean war and world war one for evidence of this weakness. Maybe you know how a state can spend a third of its total revenue on the military for more than 3 years, without access to the capital markets, but I know of no previous example of this in history.

  25. ​ @WillFinch-k4j he lacks moral clarity. Let's put it like that.

  26. ​ @AkenValle  You are demonstrating that you do not understand basic logic. There is no connection between the two statements. Ask your educators for a refund.

  32. The cowardice of these "leaders" is mind-boggling. Friedrikson and Kallas put them all to shame.

  33. ​ @The_Savage_Wombat that always happens when western leaders engage in appeasement. It was exactly so in the spanish civil war, and the appeasers lost Spain to fascism.

  34. Yes, i spoke to some German a short time ago. Der Krieg ist weit weg i think they said.

  39. ​ @johnadam2885 sour grapes is not the emotion, it's more abhorance and horror at what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

  40. Of course. Nobody can help where they are born. Be grateful you aren't torn apart like Konstantin has been.

  43. I walked around my Russian city. Zs on public buildings and churches, flags lining main roads, soldiers everywhere, posters of heroes on every corner, bus shelters covered in pictures of z soldiers and world war 2 pictures, everywhere.

  47. You know that the nazis regarded Slavs as semi-human. Why would a slavic person be a nazi, or a Jewish person.

  48. France's support has been measly. Denmark has contributed three times more in absolute terms. And as for Itsly and Spain, they act like there is no war.

  49. ​ @PandemoniumMeltDown  you obviously don't know much about what Orban is up to. Or don't care.

  50. Not a moron in the sense that he successfully taps into the fear of the rapid technological change which typifies our age, unfortunately.
