  1. Please leave the EU. We are giving you billions of euros for nothing. Maybe Russia will hand you put some money instead if you ask them nicely.

  2. And thanks to the Americans too, and a the other countries pulling their weight.

  3.  @michaeldy3157  your emotional response doesn't take away from the fact that Russia is a failed state angry because the ukranians and belorussuans can see that, and want to be part of Europe, not russia Mia, which for them is a dictatorship which only offers repression and poverty.

  4. What is glory? Defeating little countries? Alexander the Great gained glory by defeating the Persian Empire, Julius Caesar by conquering Gaul. And Russia? Which great power will Russia fight on the field of battle and defeat, because so far I have only seen georgia, ukraine and tchechnia, hardly military powers.

  6.  @1112viggo  lying is more culturally accepted there. Its a tough environment to survive in, so more is allowed to do so. Russians won't mind that putin lies to them, but they will mind if he loses. They take their nationalism very seriously.

  7.  @paulzx5034  you will find out how bad this went in around 20 years, when your present dictatorship falls. The million Russians who escaped this month know already.

  8.  @paulzx5034  You're not fighting the US. The US would crush you. We have 4x as many planes as you and modern equipment. We even have a lot more soldiers. Don't kid yourself that you are fighting uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is sitting in America laughing at you being defeated by the Ukranian army. A 5 billion a year army with 20 himars to help them a little bit. We have 600 of them.

  9.  @paulzx5034  I assume they hate you because you invaded them. Strange how people don't like that. Be friends with North Korea. You suit each other very well.

  10.  @ЮлияШелковникова-м9е  Putin is destroying his country's future for an imagined past based on a distortion of history and an obsession with military glory. The damage to your economy and the loss of a million of your brightest and most educated citizens cannot be compensated for.

  11.  @Thugzbunyyy  it woukd never have dared attack ukraine without a nuclear threat to the rest of the world.

  12.  @duhhtor  it didn't work of course, because the patriarchs won out, but if it had, the women of Afghanistan, many of whom want the chance to study and work without prejudice would have been very happy. Why? Are you glad that tyranny won?

  13.  @anarabbasov8634  "western" do you mean non-dictatorships? North Korea isn't western, right?

  14.  Yanks R EVIL  we know russians are jealous of the success of Europe. There is always a danger that their bitterness at their own failure to build a country worth living in could turn outwards. Its happening now in Ukraine of course. Russians must be very unhappy.

  15.  @ramdev9578  why? Germany is giving a million ukranians a home right now.

  16.  @ЮлияШелковникова-м9е  Europe is a postindustrial society already. Mostly high paying service economies. Very little primary sector industry left.

  17.  @ЮлияШелковникова-м9е  why is russia so much poorer than Europe? A failure to analyse correctly, perhaps.

  18.  @moiseshuerta3984  you don't respect sovereign borders. Great. Let's all make war till the small countries are eaten up then

  19.  @WhatHappenedIn-vt3vq  Ukraine is in Europe. So are 85 percent of Russians.

  20.  @bhaashatepe5234  what would you suggest? Not trying to recover their country?

  21.  @WhatHappenedIn-vt3vq  Ships are by their nature very vulnerable. At the end of the day, they're just ships, and ships can't take much damage if the shells explode inside their hulls.

  22.  @kotmark  they have harpoon missiles. They sink ships.

  23. Let's hope all dictatorships do as "well" as Russia. The world will be a better place sooner than we hoped.

  24. He is just hateful, because Russia is a failed state, and his exceptionalism doesn't allow self-criticism in, so he has to find others to blame.

  25. I don't know. They may take the opportunity to kill many of their criminal class there.
