  75. @Геннадий Шуплецов  this is so bs. 1. Ukraine only wanted to join NATO as a result of 2014 (invasion of Crimea) as Russia broke the Budapest Memorandum. 2. Russia has nothing to say about the decisions of other souvereign countries. You support an imperialist policy. 3. NATO enlargement is a forged pretext, as the invasion will result in Finland joining NATO, with it doubling the Russian-NATO border and potentially threatening SPB from two sides. 4. Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO anytime soon due to lacking the necessary reforms + outstanding territorial disputes. 5. There are already nuclear weapons on the European continent pointed at Moscow, just like you have weapons pointed at our capitals, no one except Russia is threatening the use of them though. (I suppose we should also demand Kaliningrad being demilitarised? As it is closer to Berlin and Warsaw, than Ukraine is to Moscow) Whilst I don't think Putin wants to rebuild the USSR and is more focused on building a new Russian Empire, this war is clearly imperialist in nature. Just like the Empires before it, it claims to be the victim and claims the actual victim is somehow the aggressor. We should remember that Russia is the only one denying the existence of the other nation, its culture and language. In your logic it would also mean Russia has to withdraw all of its forces near NATO countries. Or does this security concern only work one way? (Curious to see if you're a hypocrite like most Russians, crying about the West, whilst you do the same stuff). It's sad to see how easily people like you just repeat, like parrots, what your government/news tells you without using your own brain.

  485.  @johnsmith2797  to explain it to you in simpler terms, by bringing up a unrelated subject, you are trying to deflect from your own mistakes. Whatever happend in Iraq and Afghanistan, and if you'd actually read my other comments you would see that I am just as much against those bs oil wars and don't at all defend what happend there, has nothing to do with the current situation in Ukraine. The fact that another country has done something bad before, doesn't mean that you can do so using it as an excuse. To give an example, do the Germans, Crimean tatars and many other nations have the right to expel Russians from their homes because the Russians have done so in the past? The answer is obviously no. With your way of thinking and the way you are reasoning it means that anyone on earth can kill anyone else on earth because somebody else has done it in the past. The use of whataboutism to defend your actions shows that you are incapable of taking responsibility for your own actions. Children are especially known to behave in this way and that is why parents, atleast in my country, often tell their children to think for themselves. A common answer of parents when a child says "but he did it too or but he did "insert accusation"" is :"if he jumps of a bridge, would you do the same?". In other words the behaviour of someone else is not an excuse for your own behaviour. The other person is responsible for his behaviour and you are always responsible for your own behaviour. So by using whataboutism you are essentially saying that you are thinking like a child.

  514.  @lisapotter3052  ja mijn moeder is zeker trots op me. Mooie ad hominem trouwens. Ik zal mijn vriendin in Kramatorsk in het Russisch, ben zelf namelijk ook Russisch sprekend, even vragen of zij zich anders behandeld voelt. Om het makkelijker voor je te maken, Kramatorsk ligt in Donetsk oblast, dat is in de Donbass. Zij heeft namelijk zelf aangegeven, dat wat er gezegd is puur propaganda is en dat ze van haar land houd. Om de woorden van een andere Russisch sprekende vriendin, deze uit Tsjernigov (Oekraïens: Chernihiv), te qouten :"The language I speak doesn't determine my patriotism or the country I support. I love Ukraine". Dit geld voor vele want de meerderheid van het Oekraïnse leger is Russisch sprekend. Kon prima met haar in het Russisch praten toen ik in de Donbass was. Overigens ook in Charkov (Oekraïens: Kharkiv), Odessa (Oekraïens: Odesa) en Poltava, sterker nog zelfs in Kiev (Kyiv). Pure Russische propaganda wat je hier als de waarheid verkondigd. Ben jij eigenlijk ooit in Oekraïne geweest of is wat je zegt gebasseerd op wat je facistische idolen Baudet en Poetin je vertellen? Aangezien je wat zij zeggen als waarheid aanneemt en wat iemand zegt die daar is geweest en vrienden daar heeft meteen als desinformatie afdoet. Er zijn meer Russische sprekende gedood door de Russen en hun proxies sinds 24 februari, dan Oekraïne heeft gedaan in 8 jaar. Dat is een feit, dat zelfs jij met de statistieken kan beamen. Want een ieder met ook maar een beetje kennis van Oekraïne, weet dat de steden waarom gevochten wordt en die gebombardeerd worden, Russisch sprekend zijn.

  555.  @AnnaK-bf2wq  first off the swastika isn't necessarily a evil symbol at all. It originates as a symbol of peace in India being misused by the Nazis. So the German Swastika is a nazi symbol that is seen in pretty much every country, including yours. But ofcourse there are no Nazis in Russia right? The fact you specifically name Ukrainians tells me that you are up to your elbows in Russian propaganda. Nazism sadly is an international phenomenon. I personally find the use of the wolfsangel and black sun by Azov more worrying but eh I doubt you know what they are. What she was pointing to was that Russia is a facist state. Which is true. Russia is not a nazi state as nazism is a particular form of facism which Russia doesn't follow. Russia however has it's own form of facism. I would call it Rashism, with an important ideologist from this being Alexander Dugin. I could list the particular differences but I doubt there is any point in doing so. Facist traits that Russia does exhibit is the fact that political opposition is impossible with any criticism being punishable. The practical destruction of free speech. The use of history as a propaganda means in education, in the case of Russia it's history as taught to their children is extremely twisted. The ideas of revanchism and irredentism, as we see with the ridiculous claims Russia makes on other countries based on history (historical claims are bs btw). The idea of the country being special and more important than others (news flash no you're not, you're not special, not better than others). The fact that state is more important that the people living in it and maybe most importantly following a strong men as the great leader of the country with no free elections. A parallel we can draw between Nazi Germany and Russia is that some Russians want to give Putin a new title which is essentially the same as Hitler's title of Führer. Ukraine doesn't qualify in any way for a nazi state or a facist state. It is a flawed democracy yeah with alot of problems but it isn't a nazi or facist state.

  666.  Карл Марксов  I understand you but I will present some counter points. - There are no written treaties between NATO and the USSR or it's successor Russia about NATO expansion. There is said there were agreements made in personal conversation. If this was true, it was naive of Gorbachev and a d*ck move of the Western diplomats. - There was no Russophobia. This is come into existence because of Russia's actions in Crimea and the current invasion. There was no oppression of the Russian population. There still isn't. As you can see in the support by ethnic Russians in Kharkiv for the Ukrainian government. - The war in Dobass is obviously horrible and was created because of the geopolitical game between Russia and US. As the civil war was orchestrated by the Russians and after this the Russians and Americans supported opposite sides. - Not so much Russophobe policies, they are pro Ukrainian policies. I think Ukraine has the right to promote it's culture and language in its country. All countries do this and Russia has a history of Russifying its conquered territories. I want to be clear that the Russian language and culture is not banned in Ukraine. You can speak any language you want at home or in public. - Ukraine being another puppet, while this is very simply, the west aren't American puppets as you can see in the fact that many countries often criticize the Americans and their foreign policy isn't aligned with theirs (otherwise they wouldn't have bought Russian gas and oil in the first place). It's a clear misrepresentation of the relationship of the US and its allies. Also if Ukraine wants to become closer to the West, it should have the right to do so. Just as Russia has the right to be closer to China. I think it would be outrageous if we invaded Russia to keep it out of China's sphere of influence. So I do understand your points but I hope you understand the counter arguments.

  723.  @jpphua602  mate what are you talking about act of self defense. Only in your alternative reality is Ukraine a danger to Russia. Also you are aware Russia always has a large force near its borders right? Not to mention that it also as missles aimed at Europe. Should we therefore consider this a threat to our security. Also I just told you why Minsk II wasn't implemented. It would litterally mean the end of Ukraine as a functioning state. As, again and by now I am surprised you still don't get it, it would mean that Russia has a veto in Ukrainian politics. To say Russia isn't involved in the Donbass War of 2014-2022 is like saying the Americans weren't involved in the Pig bay invasion. Only those believing in alternative Realities belief that. The implementation of Minsk II would be the same as that Czechoslovakia that agreed to the Munich Agreement (more diktat to be honest). It would not have ended well for Ukraine. To put it simply, let's start an secessionist movement in your country. Let the Americans arm them (CIA loves doing so anyway), then the Americans say they have nothing to do with it, whilst everybody know they do. Then the Americans will demand, by threat of intervening (which the Russians did) that you have to Federalise and give the break away regions a veto right. Ofcourse those break away regions are puppets of the Americans so they will do whatever they say, essentially given the Americans a veto in your country's politics. That is what the implementation of Minsk II would have been like. The fact you don't understand this, is beyond me. It seems rational thinking is not your strongest skill. About Russia intervening, it has no right to intervene even if your claim about the Donbass war was right. Which it isn't. Has in your reasoning it would be an internal Ukrainian affair. The fact is however, and this is proven, that Russian forces crossed the Ukrainian border in 2015 to assist the separatists, a violation of international law, as well as the annexation of crimea, again a violation of international law. So Ukraine arming and militarizing itself, was the country exercising it's right of self defense. After all Russian forces had crossed the Ukrainian border before. Russia however has not exercised it's right of self defense, as this right is about defending your own territory, not invading that of another state. Ukraine is now exercising this right as it is defending itself from an existential threat. Russia was never under such threat and therefor your entire comment is false. You can twist the facts anyway you like, but this is what it is. Maybe with such a long text you will finally understand atleast 1% of the situation.

  920.  @jonhagedoorn4874  ik heb geschiedenis gestudeerd wat precies wil je weten? Want ik weet meer van die regio, dan jij ooit zal weten. Wat vind jij bijvoorbeeld van de schending van het Boedapest Memorandum van 1991 door Rusland in 2014? De reden waarom Oekraïne NAVO lidmaatschap ambitieert. Zonder, dat Memorandum was deze oorlog nooit gebeurt trouwens, want dan was Oekraïne de 3de nucleaire macht van de wereld geweest. Verder lijkt je kennis vrij gelimiteerd op de Centraal- en Oost-Europese geschiedenis. Een regio veelal gedomineerd door Oostenrijk(-Hongarije), Duitsland en Rusland. Twee van de drie hebben hun imperialistische geschiedenis achtergelaten, Rusland nog niet. De landen aldaar willen bescherming tegen Russisch imperialisme, na, in sommige gevallen, eeuwen van Russische overheersing. Men is Katyn, de Hongaarse Revoluties, de bezetting van de Baltische Staten, de Sovjet Oorlogen (als extenties van de Russische bugeroorlog) in de interwar periode, Katyn, Praagse Lente, Winteroorlog en nog veel meer (aangezien dit allemaal enkel van de laatste 100 jaar is) niet vergeten. De geschiedenis voor de landen met Rusland begon niet bij de val van de Berlijnse muur in 1989 of de val van de USSR in 1991. Veel van die landen hebben aan den lijve ondervonden wat Bismarck al in de 19de eeuw zei :"An agreement with the Russians is not worth the paper it is written on". Polen, Tsjechië, Letland, Litouwen, Estland, Roemenië, Bulgarije, Slowakije en ook Georgië, Moldavië en Oekraïne zijn soevereine landen en hebben net zoveel recht als Rusland om hun eigen beslissingen te nemen en tot de NAVO toe te treden als zij vinden dat dit hun nationale belangen dient. Net zoals dat Zweden en Finland, dat recht hebben gebruikt. Vind je ook, dat Moldavië en Georgië dan zomaar opgegeven moeten worden aan de Russen? Blijkbaar heb je niks geleerd van de fouten van Chamberlain.

  994.  @DenUitvreter  it's funny that you start about Americans, because I am Dutch and my profession is in the field of history. You don't know history better, because you're older, nor was the history education you received better. It was different. History changes with the time. As history isn't the past, history is the reconstruction of the past with the sources we have available to us. You have a very flawed view on history. Whilst we indeed shouldn't judge the past with our modern morality, there is nothing wrong in acknowledging that I modern terms, as we are modern people and when people ask you about colonialism it is from a modern perspective, imperialism and colonialism is bad. Yes slavery was practiced my mankind since antiquity, but that doesn't mean it is okay. Kings als used to be able to just execute you if they felt like it, I doubt you'd be willing to want to go back to that. Personally, and I teach my students in the same way, that history has its good and bad points. The colonial empire is historical fact and with it the bad parts of it as well. So we should look at these parts to and recognize them. Does it mean all was evil? No. But should we return to something or be specifically proud of it? No I don't think so either. It is incredible arrogant to state that because you're older, you know better. I am younger than you, but am certain I have spend more time studying this subject than you have, as it is my job. It is also incredibly rude to try to attack a nationality and you're even wrong. Geboren en getogen in Nederland ))

  1038.  @tooltalk  the history we get about the Vernenigde Oost Indische Companie (Dutch East India company for you)is mostly a positive one yes )) also the Rawagede massacre among others.. during the Indonesian War of Independence or as it was known up until a few years ago in the Netherlands :"De politionele acties" with only know the use of "Indonesiche onafhankelijkheidsoorlog" being used a bit more. Have the Netherlands committed the same atrocities as the Germans? No, but we weren't angels either. Burning down entire villages and murdering the entire male population. There is actually no debate to include more about the use of slavery and the colonial exploitation as, again, history books on schools are mostly positive about this time period. With a part of it being "De Goudeneeuw" or Dutch Golden Age. But eeh what do I know as an actual Dutch history teacher having to use the history books. But I guess the arrogant American knows more about it than the guy using the books and being born and raised in the Netherlands. They are about to finally change this as there was, again, almost no focus on this at all. We also see this with the government as a whole, we are finally truly acknowledging and reckoning with our past. Took us quite some time too. To be clear with history books I was talking about what we teach our children. Not what you learn at higher education. As in higher education these things come up. Your point about the Dutch not being like that anymore is exactly the point with the Japanese too. They are not like that anymore either. Not to mention that the Netherlands have the mentality of the Koopman (merchant) and the dominee (Protestant priest). My country will lecture other countries what to do (Rutte is particularly good at it) and how to be morally correct like the Dominee. But money gets involved the country forgets the morals and all is about the money. we become the merchant. Times change mate, history is, well, history. Facism is on the rise again, this time in Russia. But even in my country (which is the Netherlands) there is a party with some facist traits that is followed by quite a part of the population. Let's stop pretending we are better. We are not. Does it give this for example the Russians the excuse to invade? No ofcourse not. It's a good thing that we are supporting Ukraine. Russia is the new facist state and it must be stopped. But what history teaches us, is that the Japanese and Germans are not unique in their capability to do horrific things. In China there are the "re-education" camps. Russia is doing that bs in Ukraine. America with it's oil wars. Every country has done, and is capable of doing horrific things. Your society created Trump for example and mine Baudet. Every country could do these horrible things if they let fascism take root and get the wrong leaders in powers. With obviously the larger powers having more potential for evil for the simple fact that they have more power.

  1424.  @I_am_not_a_bot-s6i  you listen to much to Russian propaganda. First off if you mean the promises that were allegedly made to Gorbachev, there never has been a treaty signed with these promises in them. So we will never know if this is true or not. Anyone can say anything, so if the Soviets were right about this, they were naive in this situation. Secondly these promises, if they have ever even been made, were made to the USSR, not the Russian Federation (as it was still the RSFSR within the USSR at that point) and was about the former Warsaw pact Countries. The USSR collapsed so the situation changed. Russia is not the sole legal successor even, as Ukraine also claims to be its legal successor. An agreement that was actually reached with the Russian Federation was that NATO wouldn't move troops further east than Germany unless there would be a major shift in the security situation in Europe. NATO kept this promise as it was Russia's invasion of Crimea and instigation of the Ukrainian civil war in 2014, that caused a major change in the security situation. Only since then has NATO moved troops to the Eastern flank of the alliance. Another agreement that has actually been signed and so it can actually be proven, is the Budapest memorandum. In which Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine would give up their nuclear weapons and declare themselves nuclear neutral states in exchange of their territorial integrity and independence being guaranteed by the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. The countries pledged to never use military means against said countries, unless in self defence. Russia broke this agreement twice. In 2014 and now. With now claiming it to be self defense which is bullshit considering Ukraine would have never attacked Russia. Belarus itself has broken this agreement too with "referendum" in which it ended it's non nuclear status and allows it to host nuclear weapons again. Meanwhile Ukraine to this day is a neutral and non nuclear state. All it did wrong was trying to have a better future in the west and try to free itself from the Russian world. The coup thing is another of these Russian propaganda things. No my friend, the Ukrainian people ousted a president who only cared for himself instead of it's people. You're allowed to chose your own future as a people and oust a president who is clearly not acting for the good of his state and people.

  1615.  @DezorianGuy  I didn't call you a Putin puppet m8. That was about the OP. Not you. The difference between the two situations is that in one situation the native population (ethnic Albanians) tries to gain independence due to the actions of the central government. As Serbia was abolishing the Kosovarian autonomy and the way the Serb army reacted was disgusting. NATO intervened in this, illegally as Russia vetoed the resolution that would have legitimized interference. NATO made mistakes there, broke international law by not respecting Serbia's sovereignty as well as it's territorial integrity by detaching Kosovo from it. In the case of Ukraine, it is not the original natives of the region, the Crimean tatars in Crimea or the ethnic Ukrainians in Donbass, but the descendants of those that were settled there by the Russian Empire and USSR. Essentially colonialism. Doesn't mean that these people shouldn't have a voice? No. These people have rights too, but it is wrong that a population descendant form colonists decides the future of a region against the will of the natives. It would be like Australia joining the UK against the will of the aboriginals (whom also have to small a voice in Australian matters). Not to mention that there is reason to believe that Russia instigated the revolts in the East, as there have been reports of people showing up in Kharkiv demonstrating whom didn't even live there, nobody in the city knew the people. Not to mention that Russia directly annexing Crimea and turning the Donbass republics into puppets and using their people as canon fodder. Which is not the case with Kosovo. But situations are wrong and violations of international law and has to do with separatism, but that is about were the similarities end.

  1682. @Theo 30  and yet to this day 1500 Russian troops are in transnistria whilst there is no danger of war. So yeah mate, that is occupation. No different than the USSR occupying Eastern Europe. About Russia not being the USSR, well modern Germany isn't Nazi Germany, yet it is held responsible for the acts committed during those times. You can't blame countries wanting to defend themselves if the Russians have repeatedly invaded said countries, regardless of the name of the state. Also maybe if Russia stops glorifying Stalin and Lenn and stops the use of Soviet symbolic (I meant they bring Soviet flags with them to the war in Ukraine) people would see them as different from the USSR. The fact is, that Russia behaves in the exact same way that the USSR did. So these countries have all rights to protect themselves from Russian domination. The fact Russia is now called the Russian Federation instead of the RSFSR doesn't change one bit. The USSR was ruled from Moscow and the Russians decided, everybody knows this. So yeah I understand the Czechs (after their experiences in the Prague Spring), Poland (do I really have to say why?), the Baltic States (same as Poland) amongst others, wanted to be protected from them. If Russia stops being am autocratic and/or totalitarian state that regards its neighbours as dogs to keep on a leash and instead threats them as equals, maybe those countries will someday forgive them like how the Germans are forgiven. Imagine the Germans still behaving like the German Empire, or even worse Nazi Germany, we would all be having defensive alliances to defend ourselves against them. About the fact that the government didn't send them to Moldova, let me guess, you also belief in the fairytale that the Russians weren't involved in the Donbas War and that the Russian troops who entered Ukraine and encircled the Ukrainians, did so without government instructions. The same government that has almost total control on anything in the country. Sure buddy.

  1764.  @as-wx2wk  but what do you actually know about Bandera? First off his following is mostly in western Ukraine, not all of Ukraine. Secondly there is a difference between the historical person Bandera, who was a nazi collaborator and murderer and the symbol. The "Bandera" the Ukrainians follow is just a symbol. A mythical version which focuses on certain traits. In his case the traits of being a Ukrainian nationalist and a fighter for Ukrainian independence. They do not support him for being a nazi collaborator and a murderer. Examples from your own history would be Lenin, I am sure you only learn about his positive actions. But I don't think you think about the countless people that died because of him. Does it mean if you support him, that you are a murderer yourself? No. Yet there are images and monuments of him in Russia. Or the great conquerors of the past who we to this day hold in high esteem due to their accomplishments, however how do you think those that were conquered by them thought about them? Not to mention all that died because of their conquests. I think Hitler, and to a lesser degree Stalinn, is an exception as he was pure evil who used his people for his own delusional ideas of the world and sacrificed and killed countless people. Destroyed the lives of millions. Someone else is currently going down the same path. I myself don't support Bandera. Because I don't like the idea of following a strongmen or symbol. More important to use your own brain. About the massacres, yes he did those, but it is hypocritical to point to this as the USSR under Stalinn was responsible for Katyn Forest. Something the Nazis even jumped on by allowing international media and the international red cross to investigate it.

  1917. @Truck911 Truck911  I have family in Donetsk too )). Also Moskal, who invaded who? Also what did you Moskals do to the Chechens that wanted independence? Hmm so besides an imperialist, you're a hypocrite too. You're the imperialist as Russia has 0 to do with the internal matters of Ukraine. As yeah, you're facist state recognized those borders too хуйло. Those referenda mean nothing orc, as none of them are recognized under international law )). It is ironic when you tell me about the 19th century when Russia's entire foreign policy is based on the 19th century idea of spheres of influence. We haven't, illegally, annexed territories not belonging to us (agreed as such by a VAST majority of the countries of the world). We just want the borders as recognized in 1991, including by your country (which recognized it again as such in 1994). So are you open to unilateral declarations of independence in Russia? Would you be okay with a foreign power occupying parts of Russia and detaching them through referenda? If yes, I will agree with you and apologise, if not, congratulations you're a hypocrite. You know it isn't even about 2022 nor 2014. There's so much more, but you guys don't get it and always play the victim. Just leave us alone. YOU recognized our independence. YOU recognised Crimea as part of Ukraine. YOU recognized the international borders. Again just leave us alone. We aren't brothers and never will be. YOU only care about yourself. You never saw us as equals, so how call us brothers? We aren't you slaves, just f*ck off from Ukraine and focus on your own country. There is plenty of stuff to fix there.

  2148.  @darzadarza4269  your text is nearly unreadible as you post a huge block of text and incredibly long sentinces. Next time divide it a little mate. Makes it easier to read. There obviously is soms merrit in what you say. I am aware of it as I was in Ukraine during those times. You too? The point I was trying to make is that the situation isn't as black and white. The Donbass people are not the victims, nor are the Ukrainians. There is fault at both sides. But what to many people do, on both sides, claim that their side is innocent and the other side completely to blame. Which is false. The leadership in de Donbass separatists regions are as much to blame as the Ukrainian government. You mentioned the protests being put down. Yeah they were as they were violent from both Pro Ukrainian and Pro Russian side. One can look at Odessa where people burned to death, as well as stab and shoot each other. In Crimea being pro Ukrainian at that time was dangerous. Ukraine was close to collapsing and at that time we saw the collapse of Ukrainian society into violence. Would they have let those protests continue, the casualties would have been even higher. Aside from some cities in Donbass, the majority of people in the city was pro Ukrainian. So you had clashes in many cities in Ukraine. You tell one side of the story, as many people do. Russia, and the separatists, play the victim like they always do. I think it is time for them to take responsibility for their actions too. The current war is Russia's doing, no doubt about it. Whatever reasons it has, it doesn't justify its actions. About the Donbass people, they are sadly just pawns in the geopolitical game of great powers. About Russian being a regional language, it stems from the Russification policies (including the prohibition of the use of Ukrainian in the Russian Empire) during both the Russian Empire and USSR. Not to mention the region being historically ethnically Ukrainian having been colonised in recent centuries. You expect people to understand your viewpoint without understanding the viewpoint of those opposed to you in the slightest. As there is a large historical context in what the Ukrainians did. I don't say it is the right actions, but I do understand where it comes from. I understand your viewpoint too, although I do not agree with it. As war is never the solution.

  2455. @Харликвен  bro try to properly read next time. For the rest you just showed to be a vatnik. I it is spoken throughout Ukraine yeah, as I know as I lived there. However it was never a official language of Ukraine, it was considered a regional language. About the Ukrainian language, there are records of the Ukrainian language from the medieval age. Modern Ukrainian is actually closer to the language of the Rus' than Modern Russian is, as Modern Russian was heavily influenced by Church slavonic and thus the southern Slavic languages. So actually Ukrainian is not derived from Russian. Both are seperate languages decended from the old east slavic language spoken in the lands of the Rus'. Ukraine is indeed part of the ancient lands of the Rus' not Russia. Neither Ukraine or Russia is the continuation of the Rus' both decendents from it. If the Rus' is the parent, both Russia and Ukraine are the childs so to say. Claiming Russia is the Rus' is like claiming Italy is the Roman Empire. The part that shows you're a Vatnik and just believe whatever Führer Putin says is the part about Lenin. This is a myth, invented by Putin and none of it is actually based in history. Besides the fact that there were the West Ukrainian and Ukrainian people's republics during the period after ww1, there is also the Cossack Hetmenate of the 17th century which can be considered a Ukrainian state, as these peoples considered themselves different from the Moscovites. This Hetmenate came into existence before the Russians controlled even a single Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian statehood, therefore, therefore dates back to the 17th and not the 20th century. My advise as someone who has actually studied history and got a master's in it, don't listen to the "history" bs Putin says. He is an amateur historian and a very bad one at that. None of his claims are backed up by actual scientific or historic sources. If we lose his logic I can also make unbased claims and call it history. So try again. Hopefully this time you properly read my comment.

  2472.  @damienhaydon2703  azov started as s horrible organisation. Do you also know why they were incorporated within the army? Precisely do get more control over them. So contrary to what you state here. Nowadays Azov has gotten rid of those Nazi idiots and is just a nationalist battalion. I do think it is funny that every body knows Azov but nobody seems to know about the DNR's Sparta and Somalia battalions (I advise you to read about those as well). Not to mention Russia's Wagner Group (literally named after a nazi, and you should check their website, they proudly display their warcrimes). The truth is that in such conflicts there will always be such idiots, on all sides. Nazism and facsim is a plague that sadly has spread around the world. You country has nazis too, as has mine, during war they will come up as it in their nature as spreaders of hate. The difference is that one country has incorporated them in their armed forces in order to deradicalize them (which they did) and get controll over them, and the other side actively encouraging their behaviour including rape and murder. Don't get me wrong the Azov members that committed warcrimes in 2015 (mostly as after the fighting mostly stopped) should be prosecuted as well. But the story isn't as black and white as the Russians and their proxies would make you believe it to be. However it is in the Russian nature to play the victim and hide and deny warcrimes they committed, even if the whole world knows it's them (besides the warcrimes in UA, this also applies to Katyn were more than 80 years later, the Russians still deny it was them).

  2486.  @AIwRussia  I have rarely seen so much twisting of history as I have seen in your comment wow. About the ancient Rus', Ukraine, and Belarus, actually have more of a claim to it's legacy than Russia. As the current Russian state is a Moscovite state and barely has anything to do with the old Rus' state. But then again we will delve into historical claims which are pointless to begin with. About Bandera, this shows once more the obsession by the Russians (and formerly the USSR) with this person. I have heard more Russians speak about him, than Ukrainians. I want to point you to the phenomenon of myth forming. As the Bandera some Ukrainians see as a hero is a mythical version of the real Bandera (which was a horrible person). The mythical version of Bandera is considered a hero for standing up for Ukrainian independence and against Russian domination, which I think you understand is important to them the last decade don't you think? He is not considered a hero for his nazi actions. It's just like how the Russians consider Lenin a hero, whilst he has done countless terrible things. Another example is Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great. Two great conquerors, one actually given the nickname "the Great". and yet murderers of thousands of people. About naming the massacre in Volyn, this is honestly hypocritical considering Moscow's own actions against the Poles in Katyn forest. So yeah if we start naming atrocities we will have a long and pointless conversation. So yeah Bandera was a horrible person, but he only became important for the Ukrainians after he was killed by the KGB, as he became a symbol, a martyr, for the cause of Ukrainian independence. He is a much just a myth and symbol as the hammer and sickle are the symbols of communism.

  2489.  @pepper0604  hahaha, the whole world? Haha. Also yes I have studied history, considering I have a major in history. But considering your name, I say you probably are a Serb. Which explains why you believe in myths as if it is history and why you like to suck up to the Russians. First off, there is nothing because of the USSR specifically, the victory was an allied victory which took the efforts of all allied nations. The USSR would have been nothing without American landlease (even Stalin and Khrushchev admitted this). Secondly, there wouldn't have been a second world war if the USSR didn't co-start it with the Germans. Their Molotov-Ribbentrop pact enabled it. 3th to seem to not understand why the Russians had it better in winter than the Germans. It has nothing to do with growing up in harsh winters or with ethnicity or anything. Russians don't magically do better in winter. The reason why the things happend that did happen is LOGISTICS. The German logistics during barbarossa were extremely poor. Winter always multiplies any existing problems with logistics. The USSR had short supply lines as they fought in their own country, whilst the German supply lines were long and had to go over poor Belarusian and Ukrainian roads even worsening the problem. Now it is Ukraine with the better logistics and short supply lines and Russia with the horrible supply lines fighting in a hostile foreign country. So if you for once use your brain, look past the myths they have told you as if it is truth, you might be able to understand this. The USSR fought one other war during winter with poor logistics in a hostile country with better logistics. The winter war, tell me how that were went for the USSR? I like to remind you, that this enemy was significantly weaker than Ukraine and that the USSR was significantly stronger than Russia.

  2769.  @bonsummers2657  the Russian story is a lie. Their imperialist all Russian nation, which states that Ukrainians and Belarusians are part of the Russian nation, is an outdated relic. Whilst Ukraine isn't Kyivan Rus' (neither is Russia btw) the origins of its statehood lie not in the Ukrainian People's Republic or the West Ukrainian People's Republic but in the Cossack Hetmenate of the 17th and 18th century. During these times there was already a clear distinction between those living in what is now Ukraine, called Ruthenians and later "little Russians" ,which is derogatory in modern use, by the Moscovites, and the Moscovites, later called "Greater Russians" by the Moscovites themselves. I think it is funny how most people, who say they know Ukrainian and Russian history, gloss over the Cossack Hetmenate so easily. Whilst many Ukrainian traditions and identity stems from this time. Even their predisposition towards democracy in contrast to Moscow's predisposition towards autocracy. As the leader of the Cossack Hetmenate, the Hetman, was voted into this position and not born into it. The fact that Ukraine or Russia are the continuation of the Kyivan Rus' is obviously bs. From both of them. They are both descended from it. Just like how France, the Netherlands and Germany all claim to be descended from the Frankish Empire. However it is also false to state that Ukraine as a state emerged only in the 20th century. It emerged as a seperate state identity, under a different name but with the same people, in the 17th. From the Russian, and Polish-Lithuanian perspective these lands were the borderlands. Which has given rise to the modern name instead of Ruthenia/Rus'. But we shouldn't forget that these lands were not always just borderlands and from a Rus' perspective they were their heartlands.

  3113.  Евгения Едалина  How Russian of you to blame the victim of an invasion. Which, if we stay true to facts and no propaganda, is in it's core about Ukraine wanting to choose it's own future, away from Russia, and Russia deciding that Ukraine doesn't have the right to do so. Good thing is that the Ukrainians really don't feel themselves a fraternal people with the Russians so you actually do them a favour by doing so. As they consider it an insult to be called your brother, which is not that weird after all the stuff Russia has done since 2014. Most of the Belarusian people don't support this war and so you calling them fraternal is just because they have a dictator like you, one that is your puppet. As Belarusians are actually historically and ethnically closer to the Ukrainians than the Russians. The all-Russian nation is a myth (you seem to agree with that actually) the peoples being similar but seperate. About the Serbs, completely different sub group as they are southern slavs, with the only things that connects them to you being their imperial attitude, them being a wannabe Russia, their irreditism and historical revisionism. They too used pan slavic sentiment to create a state, in their case Yugoslavia, which like the USSR fell apart. They also managed to piss off most of the rest of the slavic world, in their case the southern slavs, whilst Russia managed to get all Western Slavs to dislike them as well as now even an Easter Slavic nation. The most hardline anti Russian states are your own slavic relatives, that must be extremely painful. But yeah we remember 1939, 1968 and 1980-1981.

  3114.  Евгения Едалина  about the ethnicity even if they would be genetically 100% the same and had the same language and traditions (which is not the case with Russians and Ukrainains) if the people consider themselves a separate nation, then they are. You can't enforce with aggression that another people belongs to you or is part of your nation. This would be like the stalker ex (which Russia behaves like) forcing his ex to stay with her by threatening to kill her/him. Dutch and Germans are close, the Dutch used to call themselves Germans before our independence. But nowadays you wouldn't call them the same people. The Dutch considered themselves a seperate nation and eventually after time they arr so distinct that you can see a clear difference between Germans and Dutch people. The Flemish in Belgium speak Dutch and have many Dutch cultural traits, which causes some nationalists to call them part of the Dutch nation, but they consider themselves a seperate nation, so they are seperate it is this simple. We actually slowly see the emergence of a Belgian nation. Ukrainians are actually as different from the Russians as Dutch and German people are. They are now building their own state, and whilst I don't agree with all their policies including in regards to language, it is their right to form their society the way they want. If their society and nation wants to be closer to the west and take some distance from Russia, it is their right to do so. This war might actually be what forever cements the seperate Ukrainian nation and society. As often nations are born in the fires of war. This is also how my nation was born. So in the end, Russia, just as it is NATO's biggest recruiter with it's actions, might also be the single largest contributor to the separation of the Ukrainians as a similar people and be the reason of a more Western orientated Ukrainian nation.

  3220.  @darzadarza4269  about the USA, that is not true. The USA itself does not have a official languages and most states don't have this either. With some having English as a official languages and the US territory of Puerto Rico having Spanish as it's second official language. As a Dutchman I am perfectly aware about Belgium. But do you know the history behind why they have Dutch (Flemish), French (Walloon) and German as official languages? I think what a misunderstanding is about Ukraine is that you can still speak Russian. It's not prohibited. It just hasn't a special status anymore. Meaning education and administration can't be in Russian. That is pretty much it. What I think about it, I leave in the middle. But it is not as bad as many Russians claim. Ukraine to recognises minority languages... as long as they are recognized languages within the EU, which is an a**hole move meaning only Russian was affected by the law. In my own country we have Dutch and then the completely separate language of Frisian. Frisian is taught and spoken in the province of Frisia only, in which the natives are the Frisians. In court they also have the right of a Frisian speaking judge and the language of education and administration is Dutch and Frisian there. For the smaller regional languages, like Lower Saxon (known in Germany as Low German) this is not the case though. These languages are protected and people are allowed to speak them, but the language of education and administration in those regions is Dutch only. I think this would be a good solution for Russian in Ukraine. It is a middle ground between the parties involved.

  3222.  @darzadarza4269  what it means is that their languages can be used within the region. Including streetnames etc. Education is in Dutch but the authorities encourage the regional languages. In regional tv/newspapers they are allowed to use their language. Administration is in Dutch though and your expected to speak Dutch when someone speaks it to you. Older generations mostly speak the regional language, as someone from Holland (region in the Netherlands) it is hard to understand Lower Saxon though so I barely understand them. Younger generation speaks mostly Dutch, although some still can speak the regional language, just because many people from outside the region start living here. Again I don't disagree with you on Ukraine having mishandled the situation. As I said in another comment, you miss the historical context. Together with the fact that Russia has politiced the Russian language. It is wildely known that the Russian state controls most Russian TV. Which can be considered dangerous and a threat to national security when said TV says things like "Ukraine is a state created by the Russians". Russian TV might be banned in the baltics too. Not because they're against Russian, but the ideas talked about in Russian TV are a threat to their national security. It is said that you are so set on your opinion. You have some correct points on which I agree. But you think very black and white. The Ukrainians have a point here too and have reasons for their behaviour in regards to Russian. Again I don't necessarily agree with it, but they do it with a reason. A valid one in my opinion. There is not a bad and good side in the language conflict. Only victims, the people of Ukraine be they in Donbass or the rest of Ukraine. There is a good and bad side in regards to the war though. There is no excuse for attacking a sovereign nation and raping, torturing and killing their citizens.

Waar jij op doelt is iets wat Gorbachev gezegd heeft. Namelijk dat er een mondelinge overeenkomst was, dat de NAVO niet verder naar het oosten zou uitbreiden, als Oost-Duitsland werd toegestaan zich bij de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland te voegen. Het probleem met mondelinge overeenkomsten is, dat je ze niet kan bewijzen. Gorbachev kan ze verzonnen hebben of hij was extreem naïef door de Amerikanen op die manier te vertrouwen. Gezien Gorbachev's persoonlijkheid, neig ik naar het tweede. Er zijn echter geen getekende verdragen hierover, daarom vraag ik je of je me kan laten zien in welk verdrag er precies staat, dat de NAVO niet verder naar het oosten uitbreidt. Dan is er nog het feit, dat die afspraken dan gemaakt zouden zijn met de USSR en niet de RSFSR en zijn moderne opvolger de Russische Federatie. De president waar deze afspraken meegemaakt werden, als ze al gemaakt zijn, is niet eens opgevolgd meer. Aangezien Boris Yeltsin ,als president van de RSFSR, zijn deelrepubliek onafhankelijk verklaarde van de USSR, en dus de president van de Russische Federatie werd. Er is wel een ander verdrag gesloten door zowel de VS als de Russische Federatie, over de neutraliteit van Belarus, Oekraïne en Kazachstan. Waarin hun territoriale integriteit, onafhankelijkheid en soevereiniteit werden gegarandeerd, mede door notabene Rusland, in ruil voor hun neutraliteit en opgeven van wapens. Namelijk het Budapest Memorandum uit 1994. Rusland heeft dit verdrag gebroken in 2014 (Krim en Donbass), 2022 (Oekraïne) en bij Kazachstan door te dreigen met militaire acties. Ook heeft Belarus dit verdrag geschonden met het opheven van zijn nuclaire neutraliteit. A.U.B. gebruik je hersens en doe je eigen onderzoek i.p.v. naar mannetjes als Baudet te luisteren, deze feiten die ik opnoem zijn namelijk alom bekend bij mensen, naja bij niet wappies dan.

  3855.  @dimitrisgregan553  the man in government was part of Azov yes, but I not nazi. Not all of Azov is nazi. About the army, I am sure there are nazi's in the army of my country. I am also sure there are people with nazi sympathies in our parliament and maybe government. They are just not open about it. About the streets, no it doesn't make people nazi's. Naming it Hitlerstreet would, but in Bandera's case the street are named so because of the mythical Ukrainian independence fighter. Compare it to the stories if the Greek heroes of old. Because the Bandera the Ukrainians name their streets after, is as mythical as them. It's not about the historical figure Bandera. My country has statues of heroes too, who also held slaves. Doesn't make me a supporter of slavery. But we should acknowledge said historical facts with these historical figure. For example explain his misdeeds too, not only his good part. Ukrainians aren't nazi, as to be nazi you need to support the ideology, they don't. For them Bandera wasn't a nazi but just a nationalist. And again Azov has a complicated history , they defended Ukraine from collapse. This way the government atleast can control them. Because I am aware of their warcrimes. About Donbass I am aware, I have friends and family in both government and separatist controlled areas. It frustrated me that they didn't cover it here. Those 8 years were terrible for people on both sides as Ukraine bombed them and the Separatists bombed Ukraine. This is the sad part about the civil war instigated by the Russian intervention. I am pro Ukrainian, but that doesn't mean I say they are saints. But Russia's invasion has caused more death in a month in total than the civil war did in 8 years. Trust me, Ukrainians aren't nazis. There is a nationalist tendency in western Ukraine though. I have visited the country many times and the people are amazing. Not nazi's at all. Trust me my country hates the nazi's too, would never be friends with them. About symbols btw, Russian "Z" is a modern swastika in itself..these are dangerous times

  3913. @Anna  I am 100% sure that you don't see the difference between a ethnic Ukrainian speaking Russian and a Ethnic Russian speaking Russian when they're from the same town. As this destinction is about self identification. I don't consider myself ethnic Russian, my aunt does. So what is your point? Not all ethic Ukrainians or Russians think the same way. So it is really a dumb statement. About the West and East, yeah South and East used to be Pro-Russian (did doesn't mean they wanted to be part of Russia, but that they wanted close bonds with them) and the centre and West was pro Ukrainian. But this division has changed alot. Nowadays even Odessa, Kherson and Kharkiv, traditionally Pro Russian cities, are pro Ukrainian. About the tensions, these have always been there, especially considering language, but only really became a problem in 2014. What most people that support Russia don't know, is that Yanukovich promised a Pro Western course. Then when he became president he became a autocrat like Putin and did a 180 on all his promises. Ukrainians didn't want to become like Russia and Belarus so they protested against him. He made the protest violent and killed protesters. That made his position impossible. Then some people in Donbas stormed government buildings later they also tried so in Odessa (ending in a tragedy) and Kharkiv. Russia used this chaos to take Crimea and flood the Donbas region with guns. This in turn created Azov as they wanted to defend Ukraine. It's ironic when you say that I only see a military solution when the Russians invaded)). I want to see Ukraine restored to its 1991 borders. The Autonomous Republic of Crimea abolished and it turned into an oblast. Just like Donetsk and Luhansk oblast should be returned. But if needed some autonomy would be fine, as Ukraine said too, but the autonomy Russia wanted would undermine Ukrainian soevereinity. To put it in perspective, Scotland's autonomy seems fair to me, also for the Donbas, but imagine we give them a veto on everything in foreign diplomacy of the UK. So that would have included Brexit. Imagine then that this region is known to be under almost complete influence of the EU, would you be okay with that? As effectively the EU or whatever country you want to think of in this regard, has a veto on everything to do with foreign policy through a proxy. Would you feel independent or like a vassal? This is why Ukraine refused to implement it. As it would have destroyed Ukrainian independence from the inside. To get a good look of what this can do to a country, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the way it is set up.

  3931.  @RC-tv7hi  "all of Ukraine's elections have been done in a warzone" do you even have any idea of the size of Ukraine. I have been there after 2014 and nowhere except for the Donbass, it was a warzone. So that statement is the biggest bs. About Crimea, it is not denied that a majority of the colonial Russian population voted in favour of joining Russia (the native Crimean tatar population voting against it. But eh, that's Imperialism and colonialism right? Who cares about the natives). The results of the referendum there were false, everyone with a brain knows this. The actual results were closer to 60% in favor of joining Russia (and we shouldn't forget that during this and after alot of Crimean taters and Ukrainians flet Crimea and were replaced by Russians, and old Soviet/Russian tactic). As someone whom has actually been the Donbass, I can say that the majority in pro Ukrainian (when we talk about the entire Donbass, which the votes were about) whilst there has been plenty of evidence of pro Ukrainian people living in the so-called DNR and LNR were forced to flee or be prosecuted. The Donbass still is a majority Ukrainian region (both oblasts), only Crimea was a majority Russian, in this case Autonomous Republic, of Ukraine. Up until 2014/15 there was only a Russian plurality (not majority) in the cities of Luhansk and Donetsk, but not within the region they are. After 2014/15 these numbers have been altered after what we can consider an cultural cleansing of anything Ukrainian (as we also see in the occupied territories nowadays).

  3934.  @RC-tv7hi  the referendums by definition couldn't have been legal as they contradict international law as well as Ukrainian law (and the territories are internationally recognized as Ukrainian, imagine if someone occupied Kaliningrad and would then organise a rigged referendum). The only way this could have been a legal referendum would be a. If Ukraine organised it I all the whole disputed territory or b. If the UN organised it with the approval of Ukraine. In which case both Ukrainian and Russian troops would have needed to leave the areas and UN troops would be stationed there during the referendum as to make sure they would have been no rigging. Not to mention that the vote would have needed to include an option for all residents of the disputed regions to vote, so including those living in the Ukrainian held portions and those that had the flee the territory since 2014 (so that means both those that fled to other Ukrainian territories or Western countries as well as those that fled to Russia) and would exclude the voting of Russian soldiers (for obvious reasons) and include those of the DNR and LNR native to Donetsk and Luhansk oblast respectively. Had then a majority voted in favor, the world might have accepted it. Although the fact they forced the issue militarily could have been a problem. But even if the referenda had been held in perfect conditions, including ALL Donbass people and without rigging and threating people at gunpoint as well as having had actual secret voting, it would still have broken international law and wouldn't have been recognzied due to the fact that Russia organised them in Ukrainian territory. I think I will organise a referendum tomorrow about Leningrad Oblast, the Republic of Karelia, the Murmansk oblast and the city of federal importance Saint Petersburg, joining Finland. Ofcourse I am sure the result will be between 93%-99% in favour of joining. I mean after all we let all Russians here vote, who cares about those living there? And the claim I made about the DNR. You can literally check their own statements about the voting. How's your math? As simple math would show you that between the first and second day, according to math, it would mean no votes has disappeared (funnily enough the Russian YT channel 1420 even showed this as well).

  4037. @Muhamad Ihssan  "Ukraine only became a thing in the last century". I advise you to read the actual history of the region, and then not the Russian version of it. Ukraine or in the early modern times known as Ruthenia, existed for centuries with the first Ukrainian/Ruthenian state there being the Cossack Hetmenate. Meaning Ukraine can actually trace its statehood back to around the same time that the Russian Tsardom was founded, which itself was a Moscovite state evolving from the Grand Principality of Moscovy. Eastern Slav land, yes, but that doesn't give Russia a claim on this land. I mean the Netherlands, half of Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg and part of Switzerland are Germanic, so it should actually all belong to Germany? Russia is not the Rus' but just a decendent from it who took the name, like how the Holy Roman Empire took the name of the Roman Empire. It was never core Russian land, it was core Rus' land. This is not the same. Ukrainian always considered themselves differently from the Moscovites, which in turn saw the Russian policy of Russification of the Ruthernian/Ukrainian lands (if they were Russians back then, it wouldn't have needed to be Russified and the Russians wouldn't have needed to ban the Ukrainian language). Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are all equally dependents of the Kyivan Rus' none of them have claims on the other. I would like saying Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Northern Italy, Catalonia and the low countries are all rightfully French as France is named after the Franks. Whilst I don't support the American actions in any way, your reasoning is as flawed as his and you do the same thing as he does but in your case for the Russians. I suppose Russia is rightfully Swedish then? After all the name Russia is directly taken from the Vikings/Varangians that came to what is now Eastern Europe, as they were called the Rus'. Considering the claim you make is purely based on the Rus' claim that the Russian Empire loved to throw around, it should actually all be Swedish.

  4175.  @jthom5951 Do you mean the same Budapest memorandum that Russia broke when it invaded Crimea and instigated the Donbass war in 2014? So what you say is :" Russia can break the memorandum anytime it wants, but Ukraine should abide by it" right? Also can you point me to which sources you use for the "genocide" of ethnic Russians? As the official UN sources report the death of 3404 civilians in the Donbass war from 2014-2022. This is the total amount on BOTH sides and includes the 296 foreigners killed by the Russian backed separatists when they downed MH-17 (source: Netherlands led JIT). As well as 4400 Ukrainian military deaths and 6517 DNR and LNR military deaths (sources for these numbers are the UN, as well as DNR and LNR) and 400-500 Russia servicemen (Source: US state department). Whilst 3404 civilian deaths are 3404 to many, this is hardly a genocide, especially considering these deaths are split between both sides. In contrast since Russia invaded there has been between 12000 and 28521 (source Ukrainian government) or 5587 and 7890 (UN confirmed) civilians deaths on the Ukrainian side. I would like to remind you that most of those are Russian speaking, with some of them also being ethnically Russian and a large part of them living in, or coming from, Donbass. The Russians and their proxies have killed a considerably larger amount of people from Donbass since February 24 than Ukraine has done in 8 years. Therefore you statement is false and a myth. If anything the calls for the destruction of the Ukrainian state, culture and nation sound more like genocide to me, especially combined with Bucha, than anything that has happend in Donbass. This is without mentioning the amount of military casualties since February 24th on all sides. Even in your fantasy world were Ukraine would have committed a genocide, it doesn't really make sense to protect people from this genocide and death by bringing more death and committing genocide yourself, right? If to you that makes sense, I honestly worry about your mental health. Then the part of Ukraine being a threat. Ukraine was neutral until Russia invaded in 2014. It is no threat to Russia at all and all it wants is to regain control of it's internationally recognized borders. Recognized in 1991 by Russia as well. They are no threat to Russia at all. Not economically and not militarily. With the numbers of equipment and military personnel before the war easily showing this. So again, an easily debunked myth. If you consider them a threat as the potential of them joining NATO which would expose Russia's southern flank, then your statement about Finland would be false as Finland (and Sweden) joining NATO directly threatens Kaliningrad, Saint Petersburg and Murmansk, and actually all of Karelia and the Kola peninsula.

  4186.  @kitdikiy  also about the Iranian situation, you know that Russia has reacted the exact same way as Russia in regards to former USSR states having nuclear weapons. One of its false casus belli was the development of nuclear weapons by Ukraine. Also no I don't think Iran has the right to develop nuclear weapons. But I think nobody has and that we should stop bringing ourselves closer mutual destruction. But eh with a major power constantly threatening to use nuclear weapons and another constantly wanting to enact regime change, I don't blame other countries. As it seems it this world the US and especially facist Russia seems to only respect you if you can nuke them into oblivion as well. As especially Russia has the tendency to immediately resort to nuclear threats as its conventional forces are weak and with an economy the size of that of Spain or the Benelux it doesn't have the economic power the US has. Nobody would care if Russia sanctions them. Russia is only a regional power in economic and soft power means. Even its conventional forces are of regional status. The only thing why people call it a great power, is because of its nukes. It's not even close to the super powers China and USA not militarily nor economically. Economically it's not even a match for the EU. Russia is the junior partner of the Russian-Chinese friendship. China will use Russia until its usefulness has come to an end at which point they will drop you like the death weight you are. As China can survive without Russia. Russia can't survive without China. The irony in the fact that Russia will become the b*tch of China is hilarious.

  4376.  @marshalljulie3676  yeah you have proven my points. You just repeat what other people tell you and have not a single thought of your own. Essentially you're just a mindless orc. The biolab claim has no prove behind it, and yet you believe it is the truth. Without knowing you, I know you are low educated. As anyone with a proper education and the ability of critical thinking, know that these conspiracies make no sense. But stay in your alternative would. NATO troops in Ukraine? Besides trainers there were, are still are none. Not to mention that Ukraine is a souvereign country and not part of Russia. Therefore whichever troops are on its soil is for them to decide not Russia. You are the clear example that one doesn't need to be Russian to be an orc and that not all Russians are orcs. Luckily I have plenty of Russian friends who use their brain and whom also say that the things you claim are bs. People living inside Russia to this day mind you )) those are true Russians and I don't hate them. Whilst those Z patriots and people like you are orcs. Especially considering you forget to mention why Ukraine wants to be part of NATO, namely to have security guarantees as Russia broke the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 (I bet you never even heard of that). And the part about the US. I don't care man. You try to justify Russia doing horrible things by thinking about what the US MIGHT do in such situation. Not to mention that I am American I really don't get why you keep bringing them up, considering I am just as critical about them and therefore I couldn't care less about your reasoning. Artifical hatred for Russia? I was a Russophile before 2014, when they took Crimea because my family and friends chose not to have a dictator like Russia and Belarus. Not to mention that the Russians created an artificial border between my family right through Donetsk oblast and I hate them for the sh*t they have done to my friends and family from 2014 onwards. I hate them even more since February 2014, as they came claiming to defend Russian speakers, but all cities they have terrorized for months and where they have killed so many civilians, are Russian speaking, but I am sure you didn't know this. You see I am a Russian speaker myself, my Russian is even better than my Ukrainian, what about you? Where does your artificial love for facist Russia come from? I've been to Russia actually, you too?

  4631. @TruckTruck-gu9vs  hahahaha look it is a Moskal. Do you know what happend in Odesa? I do as I was in Odesa with friends. What happend is that your Moskal friends came with guns and molotov cocktails to the trade building. So much for a peaceful protest. Then your Moskal friends managed to mishandle the fuel and set the building on fire (as reported by the OSCE rapport, which stated the fire was started from the inside). Then when they were burning to death, other Ukrainians tried to help them. The same Ukrainians the Moskals shot at moments before. It is not our fault that Moskals burn themselves to death. When we talk about people dissapearing, tell me why anyone disagreeing with the "ДНР" leadership dissapeared or had to flee? Speaking about Mariupol, maybe you should check footage from just before the war where people explicitly stated "Putin leave us alone". About the rule of law, once more there is only whataboutism and deflection. The day a Moskal actually takes responsibilty for any action they did, is the day I believe in miracles. Russia has been breaking international agreements since the moment it declared independence from the USSR. Again, you're nobody's brother as you only ever think of yourself. Leave us alone. Get back to the borders you yourself agreed on and keep busy with your own country. Seems you have plenty of problems there with PMC's taking over cities and marching on Moscow, with nobody able to stop them. Plenty to fix there. So maybe stop worrying about what happens in my country, imperialist, and focus on what happens in your country.

  4993. ​ @gabor6259 in many countries it is normal to have education in the language of the country you are in. Secondly, you're free to speak any language, including Russian, in public anytime you want. I barely speak Ukrainian and therefore only spoke Russian during my time in Ukraine. Including when visiting Ukrainian speaking towns like Lviv and Ternopil. I support the law as it saw the opening of more Ukrainian language schools, as before the most schools had been Russian language schools due to the extensive Russification policies of the USSR and the Russian Empire. Some examples of the anti Ukrainian language russification policies were: 1863 – Circular issued by Russia's minister of internal affair Pyotr Valuyev prohibiting censors from giving permission to the publication of Ukrainian spiritual and popular educational literature. 1864 – Adoption of the Charter of the primary school at which education was to be conducted only in Russian. (Quite ironic that you are now crying about Ukraine doing it isn't it?). 1876 - Alexander II's Ems decree banning the printing and importing from abroad of any text in Ukrainian, with exceptions of belles lettres and historical records, it also banned stage performances, public recitations and schooling in Ukraine, as well as it ordered removal of all Ukrainian books from school libraries, teachers that were suspected of Ukrainophilism were to be transferred outside of Ukraine. 1926 – Stalin's letter to "Comrade. Kaganovich and other members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CP (B) U with the sanction of the struggle against the "national bias", the beginning harassment of "Ukrainization". (Ukrainization, a term you orcs love to throw around now as well). There was a time in which giving your children Ukrainian names (so Volodymyr instead of Vladimir) was illegal. Learn some actual history before speaking.

  5014.  @Manntashsh-Pyrre-tu7wr  my country litterally means "Low lands" and used to called "those lands over there" by the French. No the names don't matter. They're just names. You're trying to justify a war because of a name. So if Ukraine had decided to rename itself Ruthenia, land of the Ruthenes which is the latinzed version of Rus' and the Rus' people, all would have been okay? After all that is know modern Ukraine was known as during the 17th to 20th century by the countries outside of Ukraine. Do you see the stupidity of your comment? Everyone considers the Holy Roman Empire as the predessor to Germany, and not as the successor to the Roman Empire. Russia itself wasn't known as such until Moscovy renamed itself as such. Names are just names. Geographical terms that become country names, no longer are just that geographical term, but a name. My country, with the meaning low countries (litteral translation of the Netherlands/de Nederlanden or low country when we use Nederland) used to controll Indonesia, not really a low laying country lol. France in German and Dutch has name that means Empire of the Franks (Frankreich and Frankrijk respectively) whilst the French name for Germany, Allemagne means the country of the Allemani, a Germanic tribe from antiquity. Names are just names. The fast majority of the world calls my country Holland, which are actually only 2 of the 12 provinces of the country, Holland originally comes from Holtlant, meaning wooded land. I don't know if you've been to the Netherlands, but the Holland regions are everything but wooded nowadays. So yeah again, and I say this as someone with a degree in history, names are just names. Often used to justify things, like you are doing. Moscovy calling itself Russia in order to claim the legacy of the former Rus'. The Holy Roman Empire and Romania calling themselves as such to claim the legacy of the Roman Empire. Ghana, Benin and Mauretania naming themselves as such to claim the legacy of ancient states. Belgium using a form of the Latin name for the low countries in contrast to the Netherlands using a native name. Spain being named after the old Roman province of Hispania, France being named after Francia to claim the historical legacy of the Empire of Charlemagne. I can go on and on.

  5015.  @Manntashsh-Pyrre-tu7wr  do you know what the term ancient means? Also maybe read up on the Cossack Hetmenate, the language used there, was Ruthenian, nowadays known as Ukrainian. Also you are aware that nation means people right? 🤣🤣 nations divert, as did the Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians. The Rus' wouldn't have considered any of the three successor nations as "Rus'". Ukrainians and Belarusians were never Russian, they were Rus'. Just like the Russians were. This group split due to external influences (Russia has more tatar influences for example, and Belarus and Ukraine more Polish, this is normal I history). If you deny Ukrainian nationhood, you do the same to Belarus and Russia, as no, you aren't the Rus', you're a seprate divergent people. You sound like the people in my country from the 19th century who claimed we are Batavians, eventhough we aren't lol. Trying to justify your actions because of history is r*tarded. Saying this as a historian lol. Dutch and Flemish are decendants from the Salian Franks, the French have alot of influence from another Frankish tribe as do the Germans. The Dutch and Flemish are the only one still speaking a Lower Franconian language as their official language (Dutch) as Germany has Saxon dialects (Lower German) and as its official language High German (a different dialect group), the same applies to Switzerland and Austria, as in their speak High German, and France doesn't even speak a Germanic language but a Romance language. So in your mind, we have the rights of all former lands of Charlemagne and are the true Franks. I specifically use this example to show you how ridiculous your claims are. I am half Dutch, half Ukrainian, using Ukraine as an example doesn't make sense as you have heard the Russian Imperialist Propaganda to long, so I used another example.

  5086.  @cryptocrypto8736  bro wat zit je nou aannames te maken. Ik ken Oekraïne beter, dan jij je eigen broekzak. Ook het "neonazi" probleem. Right sector en Azov waren in 2014 een probleem ja. De staat leek in elkaar te storten en zij voorkwamen dat. Inmiddels is die situatie heel anders. We zijn namelijk 8 jaar verder. Oekraïne heeft geen nazi probleem dat groter is dan die van Rusland (waar ook nazis openlijk mee vechten, o.a. in Wagner). Van mijn tijd daar, kan ik je vertellen dat het land niet nazi is. Het is corrupt en de democratie is nog fragiel, maar het is geen nazi staat. Geen enkele extreem rechtse groep heeft een zetel in het parliament. Met de symbolen, het is onwetendheid. Ik heb een goede vriendin, die echt helemaal geen nazi is. Die iets deelde van een Azov soldaat. Ik heb haar uitgelegd, dat wat hij op zijn hoofd heeft, voor mij een wolfsangel is. Haar de artikelen laten zien, en ze verwijderde het meteen. Veel mensen daar kennen die symbolen gewoon niet als iets anders dan dat het van Azov is. Voor hen heeft het symbol geen nazi connecties en ze weten vaak niet eens dat het door de Nazi's gebruikt werd. Kijk naar het Swastika, as een Europeaan daar mee aankomt, is het een nazi. Laat een Hindoe man jou een Swastika zien, dan is het een teken van vrede. Ik denk, dat er een verschil zit tussen moedwillig een wolfsangel laten zien als nazi teken, of het gebruiken op een andere manier zonder dat je weet wat het betekent. Eerste maakt je namelijk een nazi, tweede gewoon onwetend.

  5310.  @jonathanjacob5453  you mean the people in the east of Ukraine who got involved in a civil war when a minority, supported by Russia, grabbed power and forced those that were pro Ukrainian to flee and be internally displaced people. Yeah I agree horrible for these Ukrainians to live in a war situation created by their larger neighbour that called himself their brother. Horrible for my friend that in 2014 the separatist tried to take over her city which caused a battle for the city, luckily won by the Ukrainians, and that now again her city is being targeted. She is pro Ukrainian and loves the country btw. Not to mention that the casualties of 8 years of war in Donbass on both sides combined are not even close to the civilian casualties on thr Ukrainian side only since February 24th. Leaving out military casualties on both sides. The Russians and their proxies have killed a considerable amount of Donbass civilians more since February 24th alone than Ukraine in the 8 years of wars (most casualties then also being in the first years). Not to mention that the Pro Russian forces have killed magnitudes of more civilians if you count all the Ukrainian civilians killed since February 24th. It is more like a girl getting raped by a bully and his smaller friend, trying to defend herself and cutting the smaller friend and then the bully killing her because she hit the smaller friend. Then saying that she was the aggressor and you just defended the smaller guy. Ukraine is the victim and no twisting of facts will change that. I know it is a Russian thing to always play the victim. They do it now, and they do it about ww2. Casually forgetting about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the fact they invaded Finland and Poland and annexed Besserabia, Bucovina and the Baltic States. Not to mention the fact they tried to join the axis.

  5376. @justme !  "the West" never attacked Russia. France did once and Germany did once. That is all. Never "the West".as there never was the concept of a united West until after ww2. Both times a large part of "the West" fought with Russia. Also Crimean War, First World War? Two wars Russia (co-) started and which involved Western powers and in which it got demolished. Stop repeating imperialist myths. It isn't history and you sound really dumb for saying them. There is nothing special about Russia, or any other country for that matter. About Russia staying in its neighbourhood, Outer Manchuria, was not its neighbourhood when the colonisation by Moscovy/Russia started. Also colonisation remains colonisation, doesn't matter if it is your neighbour or if it is far away. So that is a bit hypocrite. Or do you say that the Circassian genocide was okay? Because it happend in the neighbourhood instead of the other side of the world? For me personally they are both just as horrible and Russia's wealth has been built just as much on the back of colonial subjects as that of the West. Any student of history would tell you that. I personally can't understand people like you. People that are, rightfully, so anti-imperiliast and anti-colonial, two things that are honestly horrible and sadly still not destroyed (including France's actions in West Africa), only to defend another country doing it because it is on your side. That is the definition of hypocrisy. Russia never attacked the West? Finnish War (against Sweden), Winter War. Hello? Lol.

  5512. Nee bedankt. Raadgevend referendum is geldverspilling en een bindend referendum wordt gekaapt door populistische partijen met een achterban die blind de leider volgt zonder zich daadwerkelijk in te lezen in het onderwerp. Waarbij de gemiddelde Forum stemmer zijn "onderzoek" zo ver gaat als "Twitter, Facebook, YouTube en wat Baudet en Meijers me vertellen". De rest van de Nederlanders interesseert het nog minder en doen al helemaal geen onderzoek en volgen blind wat andere politici en de media zeggen, because they can't be bothered with politics. Dus nee bedankt. Pure geldverspilling. We zijn een indirecte democratie met verkozen volksvertegenwoordigers. Het is hun werk om dit te doen. Naja van de meeste, Baudet is meer bezig met het verkopen van boeken en voedselpakketten, waarvan hij de opbrengst niet bekend wilt maken (lekker transparant van de volksvertegenwoordiger die vaker niet, dan wel aanwezig is in de Tweede Kamer bij debatten en het vooral gebruikt om zijn b.v. te verbeteren). Maar eh, hij krijgt wel geld vanuit het Kremlin. Ik wil graag een functionerende staat waar ik woon. Een referendum om de haverklap, omdat een Forum, PVV of aan de andere kant DENK het niet eens zijn met een plan van de regering, nee bedankt, geldverspilling van publieke gelden en destabiliseert de democratie. Of er moeten echt hele duidelijke criteria en regels aangebonden zijn, dat enkel is extreme or zeer belangrijke situaties, dit gebruikt kan worden. Maar goed wegsluizen van gemeente en provinciegelden is iets waar Forum goed in is. Zo moet elk niew Forum raadlids verplichtte Forum cursussen volgen, die betaald word door de gemeente/province en terecht komen bij de landelijke partij.

  5532.  @margaret9314  we don't blame Russia for anything because we don't care about Russia at all. If you wouldn't bring war back to our continent we would not even think about you. It is not whataboutism as I don't try to use the situation in Chechnya to accuse Russia of having done something. I am using it in the context of the right of self determination also applying to Russia. Aka it works both ways. Also the right of self determination is not the same as a right of independence. They don't have a right of independence, and let's be honest they won't ever be independent as Russia will annex them. They're no different than Manchuria under the Japanese or Slovakia under the Germans. They have a right to have their opinions heard within Ukraine. In which any potential independence should then be gained to referendums gained via political, not military means. Again a point I try to make is that you are pointing to a right of self determination whilst at the same time your country has threatend to retake Alaska (with a population that doesn't want that), end it's recognition of Lithuanian independence (again violation of the right you point too) and to nuke/bomb London as well as Rotterdam. Not to mention threatend with retaliation on Sweden and Finland on exercising their sovereignty as independent states by choosing their own future. The point I am trying to make is I support the right of self determination and the west should not ignore said right. But I think Russia is the last place on earth to advocate for this right as it seems to cherry pick when and when it doesn't want this right to exist.

  5535.  @margaret9314  first off I never said they didn't. I pointed you to the fact that self determination is not just the right of independence (which doesn't exist). Which is what seems to be what Russians think it is. Secondly the separatists are not recognized by the international community. What they do is not the proper way to exercise the right of self determination. A proper example of this, is Scotland. Any referendum held during military occupation, and yes that is the case with Crimea, DNR and LNR, are invalid, because of obvious reasons. Especially considering the fact that international observers were not allowed. Imagine if you lived in Kaliningrad and Germany decides that it wants it back. It invades, then holds his troops on the streets and calls for a referendum about joining Germany. While you want to vote there are soldiers outside and you know your vote won't be anonymous. What would you do mate? Exactly the reason why a referendum in occupied territories is not worth nothing. Then there is the ally part... well if they were proper countries, they could do so. They're not, they're an rebellion. It would be like if we caused trouble in Russia and then use it as an excuse to invade. Because let's call it what it is, just a fabricated casus belli. About the US/UK part no you can write about them, but use the dumbest possible example. Especially since there are good examples of the right of self determination in regards to Scotland, Northern Ireland as well as the Spanish region of Catalonia. But then again I shouldn't expect you to know about these things.

  5559. Deze situatie is de schuld van Rusland en haar imperialisme. In de eerste plaats omdat de huidige internationaal erkende grenzen onstaan zijn tijdens de USSR en het ethnisch Armeense gebied werd toegekend aan de Azeri SSR met als reden "divide and rule", immers waren de Armeense en Azeri SSR's drukker bezig met elkaar haten, dan met onafhankelijkheid. Ten tweede, wat hier niet benoemd wordt, begon de eerste Nargorno-Karabach oorlog in de jaren 90, toen beide landen nog SSR's waren binnen de USSR, waarbij Moskou dus faalde haar deelrepublieken onder controle te halen. Als laatste reden de oorlog in Oekraïne. Doordat Rusland zwakker blijkt te zijn dan men dacht en bovendien zijn handen vol heeft aan Oekraïne, is de illusie van Russische macht gebroken. Aangezien Rusland de veiligheidsgaranteur is van de regio, leidt dit tot instabiliteit. Dit werd versterkt toen men zag hoe de Russen, Armenië in de steek laat, waarbij men zelfs haar CSTO verplichtingen niet nakomt. Armenië heeft immers meerdere keren om militaire hulp gevraagd en ook bij het CSTO is officieel een aanval op één een aanval op allen, echter lijkt de CSTO dus enkel een papiertje en loze woorden. Rusland is inmiddels zelf zijn soldaten aan het evacueren uit Nargorno-Karabach en heeft zelf ook gezegd, dat ondanks dat het vredesverdrag moet worden nageleefd (door haarzelf bemiddeld, maar wat ze nu niet meer militair kan afdwingen), maar dat Armenië ook de nieuwe realiteit moet erkennen, aangezien het officieel de 1991 grenzen erkend sinds het laatste verdrag.

  5655. @Bedoem Shroom  dit is misinformatie en misquoten van getallen. Er zijn 14.000 mensen gestorven als gevolg van de Donbass oorlog. Dit getal betreft civiele en militaire doden aan BEIDE zijde gecombineerd. Dan is het nog het feit dat je "Russen" zegt alsof iedereen die in de Dombass woont ethnisch Russisch is. Als iemand met vrienden en familie in de Donbass is het duidelijk, dat je niks van de regio weet en vooral andere napraat. De meerderheid van de Donbass is ethnisch Oekraïens, niet Russisch. Russisch sprekend ja, maar een taal bepaald niet je etniciteit. Daar wil ik bijvoegen dat niet iedereen die Pro Russisch is, ook meteen ethnisch Russisch is en niet iedereen die ethnisch Russisch is, ook meteen pro Russisch is. Dat is een nogal racistische manier van naar het conflict kijken. De enigste regio in Oekraïne met een meerderheid ethnische Russen, is de Autonome Republiek van de Krim. De Donbass is, en zo is het altijd geweest, een ethnisch Oekraïense regio, net zoals de Kuban in Rusland overigens, dus gezien jullie manier van beredeneren, heeft Oekraïne een claim op dat gebied? Het is dus onzin dat her 14.000 Russen zouden zijn, alleen al, omdat de meerderheid van de inwoners daar Oekraïeners zijn. Bovendien is het verschil tussen een ethnisch Rus en Oekraïner uit hetzelfde dorp, niet re horen of te zien. Het gaat dus vooral om zelfindentificatie. Dus tenzij Oekraïne wapens heeft die specifiek in de mensen hun hoofd kan kijken om te zien of iemand ethnisch Rus of Oekraïner is, is dat dus echt onzin. Over Zelensky die niet ingreep. Je vent je bewust dat Zelensky pas sinds 2019 president is toch? Dus ingrijpen in de Donbass? Uhm de meeste doden zijn gevallen onder Poroshenko. Onder Zelensky viel er in 2021 bijvoorbeeld 7 doden, aan BEIDE zijde ten gevolge van over en weer beschietingen en nog een aantal doden door mijnen. Dus Putin had na 1 dag aanvallen in de Donbass, meer bloed van mensen uit de Donbass (aangezien de steden zoals Bachmut en Mariupol in de Donbass liggen) dan Zelensky. Ik kan het begrijpen, als je gemisinformeerd bent. Oekraïne is een niet heel bekend land, de meeste, inclusief jij, interesseerde zich niet in de staat for 24-02-2022, maar verkoop je onzin dan niet als feiten. Helemaal niet aan iemand die er gewoond heeft (ik studeerde daar) en er vrienden en familie hebben. Mijn pfp gemaakt op het consititutieplein te Kharkiv had je al een hint moeten geven.

  5656.  @wskroem  het tegenhouden van vredesonderhandelingen.. ja gek he als je bevolking geen vredesonderhandelingen wilt nadat ze de beelden zien van Bucha? Ik wil ook geen onderhandelingen met iemand die me vrienden en familie zou neerschieten puur voor het zijn van Oekraïner. Kan je wel een filmpje sturen van een Oekraïense krijgsgevangenen die wordt neergeschoten voor het zeggen van "Слава Україні!". Ja je waar twee oorlog hebben, hebben 2 schuld werkt niet en is ook historisch onwaar. Oekraïne is al sinds 2014 het doelwit van Rusland, omdat het zichzelf wilt losmaken van Russische invloed en zijn eigen weg wilt begaan. Het land heeft daar het recht op. Rusland brak echter het Boedapest Memorandum van 1991 door zijn invasie van de Krim. Rusland is de aggressor en de schuldige, Oekraïne heeft niks agressiefs gedaan jegens Rusland. Je beredenering is alsof je Czechoslowakije en Polen de schuld geeft voor de Duitse invasies. Of dat je zegt dat Nederland ook schuld heeft aan de Duitse invasie van 1940, terwijl het alles aandeed om neutraal te blijven. Oorlog is geen ruzie tussen kinderen, dus je stelling gaat niet op. Het laat vooral.een hele simpele manier van denken zien zonder enige kennis van de regionale geschiedenis op de geschiedenis van de 2 landen onderling. Als iemand van Oekraïense afkomst, die heeft niks met 24-02-2022 te maken, niks met 2014 of 1991 zelfs. Misschien niet eens met 1917-1921 (Oekraïnse oorlog van onafhankelijkheid, niet veel anders dan nu ook toen vielen de Russen, Oekraïne binnen). Dit gaat veel verder terug met telkens weer de Russen die het bestaan van een aparte Oekraiense natie, taal en cultuur ontkennen en tegenwerken. Waarin Rusland meerdere keren atrocities tegen Oekraïne en zijn volk heeft begaan. Van Katherina de Grote die het Kozakken Hetmanaat verraad door een afspraak eenzijdig op te zeggen en ze te annexeren, tot aan Tsar Alexander III die de Oekraïense taal verbied in Oekraïne (een van de reden waarom zoveel Oekraïeners Russisch spreken) en Stalin met zijn holodomor. Het is tijd, dat de Russische dominantie stopt en dat Oekraïne vrij kan zijn van haar invloed. Слава Україні! Смерть ворогам!

  5833.  @mobiuszero2424  so essentially you say, Ukraine is okay as long as they are pro Russian. They are not allowed to decide their own future, only Russia is🤔. Even if it was funded by the west, the elections afterwards have shown us that Ukrainians want to be part of the Western, and not Russian, world. I think the Ukrainian people have the right to decide this... not Russia. The reason the revolution of dignity happend is not as much anti Russian as it was anti corruption and pro Ukrainian. The revolution happend because their president turned more and more into a autocrat and he deliberately went against the will of the people (EU-Ukrainian association treaty, which is a whole mess on its own). I think Russia made this treaty way to much of a deal. Had Russia not intervened in Crimea and Donbass, we might have seen a pro Russian government form after the Euromaidan one would fight with themselves again. This possibility was destroyed by the Russian invasion and detaching Ukraine's two most pro Russian regions and actively lowering the pro Russian sentiment in other regions. After the orange revolution we had also seen pro Russian governments form. This had always been the case as Ukrainian voters hope everytime to finally find someone who is not some corrupt oligarch, I mean that is the platform on which Zelensky has won the last elections. Ukraine's largest port and most important Naval base Odessa, is still in Ukrainian hands, so Russia hasn't cut off Ukraine from the sea at all. It's blockade is only angering the UN member states at this point and won't do them favours in the general assembly. For the rest, even if he would miraculously take all of Ukraine, this war is a strategic loss. Putin has managed to reunite the West after decades of them bickering amongst themselves. He essentially gave the West a external enemy, which you know works wonders as it is what Putin uses time and time again in Russia to distract the population from the Russian Federation's internal problems. As well as he caused the application of Sweden and Finland to join NATO, and they probably will join the defensive alliance. Even if Turkey would block them, the two countries would become then Major Non Nato Allies of the US. If they are admitted into NATO, it will mean that Kaliningrad is effectively completely cut off from Russia and in case of war it would be indefensible. It lowers the strategic risk of the suwalski gap for NATO aswell and it will improve the security of the Baltic states and Gotland from Russian aggression. It would also mean that Saint Petersburg would be threatend from two sides by NATO territory. We also see a doubling of the NATO-Russia border and the threating of Murmansk/Kola peninsula and it's important military facilities, which if taken, would threaten the artic port of Arkhangelsk. You would gain some warm water ports in the black sea, but access to the Mediterranean can be blocked by NATO in the Turkish straits and Bosphorus. At the same time it means that NATO can now block the Gulf of Finland because of Finland joining the organisation. Ofcourse Russian ships could be blocked at the Danish Straits before but now the Baltic fleet will be effectively stuck at SPB and Kaliningrad. This is all without taking into consideration of the fact that a large part of a once brotherly people now hates your people. You lost a state that could have been a bridge between Russia and the West. Not to mention the loss of military capability and human live that Russia has suffered. This all on top off the damage to it's prestige and reputation on the international stage.

  5835.  @mobiuszero2424  that is whataboutism and not even correct. My country is a big trading partner of China lol. I have no problem with China. Couldn't care less. I am not American lol. About Finland and Sweden not joining because of a sudden declaration of war... they signed defensive agreements with the UK, Germany and USA. Which means a war with them which will mean most of NATO joining. Everybody knew this risk of Russia attacking, so they anticipating it. I am not talking about a sudden blockade. I am talking in case of war. About the blockade, you actually proof my point. Ukraine doesn't have a navy. So the blockade is pointless. All it does is create a food crisis in the world, particularly the middle east and Africa (places Russia actually had some support) which means it damages it's own reputation and strategic position by maintaining this blockade as people won't forget who caused this food crisis. Also I am not saying that the current geopolitical situation is entirely Russia's fault. I think Ukraine has been a pawn used in the geopolitical game between Russia and the US. However the current war is, they decided to attack, nobody else. About the politicians being anti Russian no not really. Pro Ukrainian and Pro EU is not the same as anti Russian. This is what the Russians have made this situation though. I think most Ukrainians, before the war, had been against what the modern Russian Federation under Putin stands for. The corruption, poverty etc. So they want to join the West. It's more the Russian world they didn't want than necessarily Russia itself. This obviously changed after 2014. About Zelensky, well they choose him, just like how the Americans choose Trump. It's democracy. You can agree with it or not, be he is their president. I think to me it shows they were done with the established political elite in Ukraine. Russia won't attack the Finns or Swedes. Regardless of the fact that they're in NATO or not. Finland's military is much more capable than Ukraine's. Not to mention the fact that culturally Sweden and Finland are very close to Germany and Western Europe. You have seen the reaction of the West when slavic Ukraine was attacked, now imagine Nordic/Germanic Sweden and Finland being attacked..

  5866.  @jasonvoorhees8301  ben je wel eens in Oekraïne geweest? Volgensmij niet. 8 jaar lang vrouwen en kinderen verkracht in de Donbass? Absolute bs. Hoe ik het weet? Familie en vrienden in de Donbass. Ik was 2 jaar geleden nog in de Donbass. Ooit geweest of basseer je alleen maar op wat andere je vertellen? Bandera? Ja een verschrikkelijk mens, die door een groep Oekraïne in met name West-Oekraïne positief gezien word. Niet heel anders dan de Russen die Lenin (zijn lichaam ligt nog steeds in Moskou) en Stalin aanbidden. Met de eerste verantwoordelijk voor honderdduizenden mensen en de tweede voor miljoenen. Zou dus hetzelfde zijn als dat Duitsers, Hitler aanbidden. Nazis? Ja Azov (Азов) begon zeker als een neo nazi bataljon die oorlogsmisdaden heeft gepleegd. Net zoals de Sparta en Somalia bataljons aan Russische zijde. Hoe ik die groepen ook ken? Familie, dat woont in Donetsk stad. Ook die zijn neo nazi en hebben oorlogsmisdaden gepleegd. Dan vergeten we nog de Wagner groep dat letterlijk genoemd is naar een Nazi, waar ze ook nog naar verwijzen door zichzelf musicians to noemen. Die hebben ook oorlogsmisdaden begaan, onder andere in Syrië. Kortom je bent een hypocriet. Alle dingen waar je Oekraïne, doet Rusland ook en met nog een schepje bovenop. Aangezien Bandera een lieverdje is vergeleken Stalin en Lenin. Het ergste is nog dat je er niets van afweet ook, omdat je eenzijdig nieuws bekijkt en je niet verder verdiept dan je neus lang is. Слава Україні, героям слава! Слава нації! смерть ворогам/Російська Федерація! 🇺🇦❤️ En nog een keertje ook in de taal van je meester. Aangezien ik namelijk Russisch sprekend bent, wat je waarschijnlijk ook niet eens begreep met het feit, dat mijn familie uit Donetsk komt. Ohja omdat je wss niet zo slim bent, Donetsk oblast is onderdeel van de Donbass. Слава Украине! Слава героям! Слава нации! смерть врагам/Российская Федерация! Орк 🤦‍♂️

Everyone knows that in the Russian mind they are at war with NATO. A war the Russias themselves started btw. However this is exactly the fantasy world you are living in. We haven't done anything bad to you, you're obsessed with the West and paranoid beyond believe. We weren't you enemy, you made us your enemy. You invaded the Ukrainians and we responded by supporting them. Not the other way around. Now the war has become a proxy conflict between the West and Russia yes. As we can weaken the incredibly incompetent Russian army and at the same time use your countrymen as Guinea pigs for our weapons. If this was however an actual conflict between NATO and Russia, your army would have been destroyed by now. The actual problem is the feeling of superiority and being special that has been instilled into the Russian mind. You yourself an excellent example of this. But you are not special and you aren't superior in the slightest to anyone. You're just like everyone else. When Russia finally realizes that, we might have finally peace. Also yeah it are the Russians who are stupid. Result of an extremely bad education. If you could even call it education. I am always shocked with the lower level of knowledge that Russians have gotten from their education. Actual Russians with higher education call you guys stupid not even the West🤣🤦‍♂️the biggest critics of you guys are the actual Russians that got away. Those with higher education. Intelligent young people.

  6120.  @egns1700  het niveau van je taal is echt om te huilen. Maar goed. Om inhoudelijk in te gaan op je comment. Links facistisch? Dat is per definitie onmogelijk. Aangezien facisme een ultranationalistische ideologie is. Aka extreem rechts. "Facisme" wordt nu als belediging gebruikt tegen een ieder die het met je eens is. Links doet genoeg fout (een form van extreem links is bijvoorbeeld communisme), maar facisten zijn het niet🤦‍♂️. Want nogmaals als ze facisten zouden zijn, zijn ze per definitie niet links meer 🤦‍♂️ en als een facistische ideologie links wordt, is het geen facisme meer 🤦‍♂️. Snapje het of ga ik te snel? Over de Minskakoorden. Ja, heb je ook een idee wat dit zou inhouden voor Oekraïne? In de minsakoorden, die Oekraïne werden ongedwongen in een moment van zwakte, zou de Oekraïense staat zijn verzwakt. Met een defacto veto voor Donetsk and Luhansk oblast in Oekraïense politiek. Wat in de praktijk een veto voor Rusland zou betekenen gezien het feit dat de DNR en LNR satellieten zijn van Rusland. Dus in feite zou Oekraïne zijn souvereniteit hebben aangegeven. Dit zonder nog het Boedapest Memorandum te benoemen. Had Rusland die niet gebroken in 2014, dan hadden er nooit Minskakoorden geweest. Weet je überhaupt van het Boedapest Memorandum van 1994? Mondelinge afspraken gebroken? Ja dat is het probleem, er is geen bewijs, dat deze gemaakt zijn. Daarom maak je in diplomatie dus ook geen mondelinge afspraken. Heel naïef van Micheal Gorbachev (moge hij rusten in vrede).

  6166.  @the_mpower  Ruthenia is latin for the Rus' yeah, a term first used for the eastern slavic tribes, after the establishment of the Russian tsardom (a Moscovite state) the term Ruthernians would be used in for a increasingly small geograpgic term. With it being used in the 17th and 1i century for the people we now call Ukrainians (people change names, including my own the Dutch, even your people, the Russians, were first recognized as just Moscovites, one small part of the Rus') especially those living outside of the Russian Empire like those in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After Ukrainian independence the term Ruthenian would eventually be exclusively used for the Rusyn people living in Zakarpata Ukraine. So yeah when we speak about the 17th century, the term Ruthenia actually did refer to the territory and people of modern day Ukraine. Which is what I was doing. I was not refering to the use of the term Ruthenia as it was used in the 9th to 14th century. Trust me you are not going to win this debate with someone who does research for these things for a living. Especially not by arguing using Russian "history" which is proven false in so many parts of the history it teaches, that it can be considered a mythology not unlike the Greek one. Myths, that have been removed from other histories (like the old Dutch myth that they are descendants from the Batavians) are still present in the Russian history (like with the all-Russian nation, something you are now trying to sell as the truth). The Ukrainians are Russians as much as the Dutch are Germans or the Danes are Swedish. Meaning that they are similar people, once originating from the same people, but that over the centuries have developed into separate people. There was no "Netherlands" or "Dutch" people until the independence of the Dutch Republic in the 16th century either, yet nobody would argue that we should still be considered part of the German nations. Even if the Ukrainian identity would have only came into existence in 1991 (which it didn't, but it is the Russian narrative) this still would mean that after 31 years, there is an seperate Ukrainian identity form the Russian one. Swiss people are ethnically German, French and Italian, yet they are not part of any of these peoples as there is a distinct Swiss identity. Every nation on earth now, had a point in which it diverged from another group or came into existence from a merger of other groups. Every single one. Including Russia, which funnily enough itself as Turko-Mongolic influences. So your Khazar argument is quite ironic. Which would later be appropriated by the Russians. Which is the same as the Holy Roman Empire, which wasn't a Roman Empire. There are actually recorder uses of the word Ukraine from late medieval, early modern sources. The Kiev was build by Khazars is not historically proven. Again you didn't answer me, what is your education then? Also it is so clear that you're an orc, that it is funny

  6167.  @the_mpower  the last sentence is again the biggest bs. Also the primary chronicle speaks about the Rus' not modern Russia. By saying Rus' = Russia you are essentially saying that Italy = the Roman Empire, Iran = the Persian Empire and France = Francia (the Empire of Charlemagne). From a historical point of view this is the most moronic thing people can do. The Rus' isn't Russia (nor is it Ukraine, as some Ukrainians would have you believe), Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are mere successors to it. Claiming to be the same as a medieval state, in which time there were no nations in the modern sense, is absolutely idiotic and the basis of propaganda and myths. Especially when there is no state continuity between said medieval state and the current one. As I the case with Russia and the Rus' even in the case that there is state continuity (as with Francia and France) we should not equate said states, in particular with the modern states. Even if we just look at France, as state with historical continuity from the the middle ages onward, we can't equate the medieval Kingdom of France with the modern nation state of the French Republic. Let alone Rus' and Russia with modern Russia being foremost a Moscovite construct from the 16th and 17th century. Your first sentence was a ad hominem btw. Also you keep saying brainwashed whilst only posting imperial Russian myths and passing them as history. Whilst I mention facts and conventions as they are agreed on by actual historians. Including the convention to not equate medieval states with modern states. You are truly obsessed by the Jesus is Ukrainian thing aren't you? But to give an historians answer, considering the region he is from, and records stating that he was Jewish, and therfore not from foreign origin (in regards to that region) he wasn't Roman or Greek, and I would say not European ("white") either. So the depictions of him in the Russian orthodox churches are false too.. in fact considering the region he lived and time period, he probably was of Middle Eastern origin. Or do you think he was Russian and therefore a white Caucasian male?

  6171.  @Deathstroke-r7h  hahaha here we we see he classical Russian response. So indoctrinated with its imperial propaganda, that the creature (cuz Russians supporting the war and this narrative are orcs not humans, contrary to the actual Russians using their brains) actually believes the myths that its führer tells him without doing any research himself. Otherwise the Moskal would have know that is statement about there never having been a Ukraine before 1991, is false and easily disproven by a simple Google search. He would have found that after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Ukrainians had their own states in the form of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West-Ukrainian People's Republic. This is not my opinion but easily verified and established facts. Only his master denies this. If the orc would have had proper 19th and 20th century history, he would have known about the rise of Ukrainian nationalism and the attemps of the Czars to limit this. I might also have known why Ukrainian history as we know it today, specifically flourished in modern day Western-Ukraine, as the Austrians actively encouraged it to undermine the Russian Empire. If the orc exhibited a little more intelligence he might have also been able to find the Cossack Hetmenate. A distinct Ukrainian (then called Ruthenian or Little Russian, but it has since become a term that for obvious reasons have fallen out of fashion) state. Had he even had the mental capacity to understand he would need to find sources to confirm what he now found, he would have then found, that indeed the Cossacks and the people living in their state, had considered themselves a seperate people from the Moscovites. Maybe the orc will one day realise that some people, like me, actually study history and historical sources for a living. Maybe he will also someday understand that his master, his führer, is the worst amateur historian on earth. Mixing historical facts with myths and claiming certain things without referring to any source. Therefore his version of history, the one taught to his orcs, is one which source is "trust me bro" and "because our führer says so". Had the orc not immediately tried to insult me, he wouldn't have gotten such a hostile reaction for his ignorance neither. Lecturing someone who actually studies history on history is pretty dumb mate. Especially when your version of history is as reliable as calling Greek mythology, history. Russia hasn't yet moved away from the incorporation of myths in its history, like most Western countries have done since the start of the 21st century. Excluding national myths from history books or specifically mentioning that it is a national myth (like with the Dutch and the Batavii/Batavians) Instead in Russia it is still taught as if it is true history. Just pure out of curiosity, what do you know about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? Katyn Forest? Winter War? Hungarian Revolution?, Prague Spring? Treaty of Brest-Litovsk? Russo-Japansese war? Crimean War?

  6292.  @kareldekale4987  wat Japan deed was niet goed nee, maar Nederland was ook een bezetter. Maar het verbaasd me niks dat iemand die Russisch imperialisme verdedigd en claimt dat Rusland het slachtoffer is, hetzelfde doet voor het Nederlandse Imperialisme. Indonesië is verre van een model staat, maar je kan je al afvragen wat wij daar deden in de eerste plaats. Daarnaast heeft Nederland er ook niks aangedaan om in Nederlands-Indië de nodige instituties en kennis op te bouwen waardoor er een stabiele onafhankelijke staat zou kunnen ontstaan. De koloniale overheid was enkel gericht op exploitatie van Indonesië. De slechte daden van de Indonesiërs en eerder de Japanners praat niet eeuwen kolonisatie goed. Waarbij Nederland, al voor de Indonesische Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog (door mensen die het koloniale verleden nog steeds verheerlijken de politionele acties genoemd) hele dorpen en in sommige gevallen eilanden afbrandde als strafexperditie. De Britten had groot gelijk om weg te gaan uit Indonesië toen Nederland liet merken het koloniale regime weet te bevestigen (zij hadden troepen gestationeerd daar na de overgave van Japan) en de Amerikanen hadden gelijk om uiteindelijk te dreigen met het stoppen van het Marshallplan als Nederland zich niet terugtrok uit Indonesië en diens onafhankelijkheid erkende. Nogmaals we hadden daar niks te zoeken. Wat geeft ons het recht om mensen aan de andere kant van de wereld te exploiteren? Ik wacht al op je Imperialistische antwoorden. Overigens ironisch, dat je de Japanners erbij haalt gezien het feit, dat je een ideologie lijkt aan te houden, dat aardig wat op die van de Japanners leek. Ook zij waren extreem rechts.

  6417.  @darzadarza4269  writing in caps doesn't make you seem smarter. More like a screaming child. Just saying. Also you should read again I think. As I pointed to the fact that no states have Spanish as a second official language as you claimed. Only the US territory of Puerto Rico has. For the rest most states don't have a official language or indeed English. With some of them having native languages as official languages too (like Alaska). As well as some states publishing laws in other languages for those not well versed in English. Again I am not against regional status for the Russian language (although now it will for sure it will never happen in Ukraine) but it seems you miss the historical context. Are you aware of the 1804 royal decree that banned all Ukrainian language schools within the Russian Empire? Or the 1888 royal decree banning the Ukrainian language in official institutions as well as banning Ukrainian names (imagine your name being banned for being Russian now..). Or the 1892 law that banned the translation of books from Russian to Ukrainian? Or the 1895 one that prohibited the printing or publishing of Ukrainian childeren's books? When you see this, the context is different. From the Ukrainian point of view, they try to somewhat undo the centuries of Russification of their land and the reintroduction and building of their own Ukrainian culture and language after centuries of having their culture being suppressed (now 30 years doesn't seem so long right?) by the Russian Empire and USSR (which for a time promoted Ukrainisation of Ukraine under Lenin but under Stalin the Russification processes started again). Do I agree with the way they do it? No. But it isn't a story of bad Ukraine and poor Russia. It is the story of a young nation finally being independent and trying to find it's way and place in the world. A nation that tries very hard to leave the past in which it's people almost always had been suppressed and dominated by more powerful neighbours. In particular Russia. It tries to leave the Russian world and choose it's own future away from Russia as it has under its rule for so long with terrible events happening during this reign. Their methods are blunt and misguided, but their motives were noble.

  6460.  @didac3918  mijn obsessie? Waar precies heb ik gepraat over geld? Wat een clown ben jij. Jij bent degene geobserdeerd door geld. Ik weetlegde al je argumenten en je weet er niks op te zeggen. Tijdens de Islamitische goudeneeuw was de Islamitische wereld tolerant vergeleken het Westen waar vrouwen en mensen van andere geloven geen rechten hadden. Cultureel gezien liepen the Islamitische wereld en China voor honderden jaren ver voor op Europa. Ik sprak over alles BEHALVE geld. Ik ben echter niet verbaasd. Het is een normale tactiek van Forum stemmers om iemand aan te vallen, als ze minder kenis dan een ander hebben van een bepaald onderwerp. Ik heb ook nergens iets gezegd over het profiteren van het slavernijverleden volgensmij... ik weerlegde jouw superioriteitsgevoel, dat gebasseerd is op een manier van denken dat in de 19de eeuw normal was. Je komt over als iemand die zou geloven in "the white man's burden". Je weet wat dit is toch? Het superieuriteitsgevoel in Europa is hypocriet. Buiten het eerder genoemde met de moslims, wij zijn met het kolonialisme in het midden-oosten medeverantwoordelijk voor het extremisme en de intolerantie die ze nu hebben, geld hetzelfde met de Chinese en Japanners. De Japanners zagen ons als barbaren, omdat we zelde ons zelf waste. De moslims zagen ons in de middeleeuwen ook als barbaren en raad eens, dat waren we destijds ook. Er is geen superioriteit in Europa of welke cultuur/land dan ook. Wat dus mijn punt was. Jij bent degene geobserdeerd door geld. Mijn advies zou zijn om de wereld rond te reizen I.p.v. te luisteren naar führer Baudet. Jij bent namelijk nu de intolerante persoon.

  6563.  @franklin9400  by all means send more people in the meatgrinder 🤡. Will you go as well? It will only cause more people to flee Russia, my little orc friend. Russia which has difficulties supplying its current forces, calling up millions of men? By all means do so, anyone killed of them would be a blessing for the world. About the NPP.. let's see what happens, its actions there show exactly that it disregards international law. About the civilian population, you reason like a nazi, without having learned any lessons of what the result was of their actions of specifically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. It will only cause the Ukrainians to become more resilient and hate the Russians forever. Any dream of conquering Ukraine will become impossible with these actions. The fact that they need to resupply by buying weapons from Iran (and North Korea) is actually a show of weakness and not strength. It seems that strategic thinking is something you are not well versed in. This war, regardless of its outcome, will have long lasting negative consequences for Russian power en reputation in the world and particularly the post USSR space. As we can clearly see in the Azeri-Armenian conflict, in which Russia failed miserably to protect its CSTO ally. As well as the Kirghiz-Tasjik conflict and the fact that nobody took Russia seriously during the Shanghai Cooperation meetings. Central Asia will become part of China's sphere of influence and the caucasus of Turkey. Russia is in an worse situation now than it was before February 24th. Including Sweden and Finland joining NATO, which will soon happen, considerably weakening Russia's position in the Baltic region. Then there is the degrading of the Russian forces, something you won't fix by sending more untrained men into the meatgrinder... anyone with atleast some mental capacity of rational and critical thinking knows this. However I expect you to have either enjoyed a low or no education at all. So I am not surprised that geopolitics and strategy are beyond you.

  6637.  @vkrgfan  "the Ukraine" already shows all we need to know about you. If by installing you mean the people democratically elected him president. Then yes. Also why would NATO invite a country that doesn't meet the requirements to join? Maybe stop blaming the west about the Ukraine situation. You caused this yourself. Ukraine has always been split between pro Western and Pro Russian since its independence. The fact the balance has now fallen to pro Western is because of Russia's actions and the fact they annexed crimea and detached Donbass, two of the most pro Russian regions in Ukraine. The current actions has eroded any pro Russian sentiment left. If Rusdia had reacted more calmly in 2014, the Euromaidan movement probably would have bickered among themselves and discredited the pro western side. Chances are that soon after the Ukrainians would have voted in a pro Russian candidate. Russia itself made this impossible and pushed Ukraine into the western camp. Promoting Russophobia also shows that you are Russian lol. Nobody promotes Russophobia, Russia already does a great job itself of making people Russophobe. People tend to not like to see themselves, their friends and their family being bombed and murdered. People tend to dislike cultures that bring dead and destruction on others. So the only country promoting Russophobia is Russia itself. Stop blaming others and stop playing the victim, it's getting ridiculous and annoying. Russia is so great right? For once in your history take responsibility of your own actions.

  6729.  @DezorianGuy  either way sorry if I called you a Putin fanboy, you clearly aren't. And saying this what you just said seems to me that you're reasonable too. People saying it was a good move by NATO aren't correct either btw. It was done for the right intentions as there was a genuine risk of genocide by Serbian troops on the Albanian population in an attempt to either kill or force them to leave. So ethnically cleansing the area essentially. However the way it was done was crude, even hitting the Chinese embassy. It was illegal by international law, that is a fact. And it set a precedent that it is okay to intervene and violate a country's sovereignty and territorial integrity for humanitarian reasons, which is exactly why Russia is using bs claims about genocide being committed in Donbass for a casus belli. But what we need to becareful is not to equate situations with each other. There are similarities but there are differences too. It is the same as people calling Putin , Hitler. Whilst there are similarities in their conduct, there are just as many differences. So they are similar to the point of both being facist, but that's about it. People say that history repeats itself, and on the artificial level if you only look at similarities, then yes it does. But when you actually analysis situations you will find just as many differences as every situation is in the end it's own with it's own nuances. I would therefore say that history doesn't repeat it self but that history is more like "dejavu".

  6811. @lati long btw yes Ukrainians and Russians are a seperate people. Similar, but different. As a Germans and Dutch people, Serbs and Croats, Spaniards and Portugese etc etc. The USSR thing was to point to the fact that most are happy within an INDEPENDENT Ukraine. One not ruled from Moscow. Call it USSR, call it Russian Federation or Russian Empire, to the Ukrainians it is the SAME thing. Those that are/were pro Russian wanted closer ties with Russia, not annexation. They cling to more traditional and Conservative values as well as historical ties. I didn't mean the Eurasian Economc Union (the fact that Yanukovich tried to get an agreement with the EEU instead of the EU, led to the Euromaidan, it was the last straw) at all. Ukraine even never formally joined the CIS and only was a observer state only. About the people not being happy of their Kyiv government after 2014... they voted for a new government after Yanukovich was ousted (he was a Ukrainian Lukachenko so to speak, so they spared themselves an autocracy) which saw Poroshenko become president. Then in 2019, no Pro Russian candidates would make it to the second round of the presidential elections. Which would be won with an absolute landslide by Zelensky. Who then dissolved the Verkhovna Rada and called for general elections. In these general elections Zelensky's party (Servant of the peoplel won an absolute majority, including in the South (with had before often voted in favour of Pro Russian parties) which is a novelty in Ukraine. Only in Donetsk oblast, Luhansk oblast and in Budjak part of Odesa oblast (the part of Ukraine across the Dnister in what used to be Southern Besserabia) they voted for the "for live" opposition party which is Pro Russian. So yeah I can tell you that this about the Kyiv government is simply untrue.

  6812. @lati long Russia has pushed Ukraine and the Ukrainian people towards the West. There were many Russian sympathic people in Ukraine before the war. I have been there alot of times, including in the east, and alot didn't hate them. They were neutral. Russia changed this. They first did so with their actions in Crimea and the Donbass, effectively making it impossible to ever again get a pro Russian government (consider that after the Orange Revolution there had also been a Pro Russian government) as he detached the, in the case of the Donbass ,part off, the most Pro Russian regions (Luhansk Oblast, Donetsk Oblast and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea). Any sympathy that was left after this clear violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in 2014 was destroyed on February 24th this year. I was Russophile before too)) not so much anymore, and with me alot of those I know too. I have seen friends that always spoke Russian, vow to never do so again and they now speak exclusively Ukrainian to me and correct me when I speak Russian to them. And again, the Ukrainian voted overwhelmingly for a Pro Western course due to the actions of Russia. As it seems the only choices for Ukraine are either independence and with it a pro Western course, or subjugation and ceasing to exist. With the Russians claiming the Ukrainian language doesn't exist (bs as it is centuries old) and that Ukrainians are just Russians who lost their way. A pro Russian path is not even possible anymore even if they had wanted so, as at the least it would mean subjugation like Belarus.

  6907.  @albo8404  your reaction says all. Difference between you and I is that I do my own research and not just believe anything either Russian or Ukrainian and Western media tells me. Lavrov is a liar and I don't trust anything he says as he has on multiple occasions blatantly lied or contradicted reality with his statements. Blindly following a leader and just believing all he said is the path the Germans followed in the 30's and 40's. See what that brought them and the world. The fact you immediately defend with the "Ukraine is winning" stuff says more about you than me. As no Ukraine isn't winning right now, the war is tactically currently a statement as both sides win and lose ground, but with a slight advantage to the Russians. Strategically the war is a loss for the Russians, which doesn't necessarily mean a victory for Ukraine. Russia is in a strategically in a much worse position than it was in before the war, even if it would take all of Ukraine. Its international reputation has been damaged and will take a long time recovering. Economically it has become much more reliant of China (which in the long run might be a bad thing for Russia in the might makes right world it has ushered in again) and military its shown to be extremely incompetent and the myth of Russian power is broken. We see this in the EU (even small Lithuania) and US taking much more hostile actions towards Russia than they would have a few months ago. Not to mention Finland and Sweden that will join NATO, which means actually extending the NATO-Russian border and threatening Murmansk and Saint Petersburg and effectively cutting of Kaliningrad in case of hostilities. The war was a strategic blunder, just like how Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan were for the US.

  6919. @DenUitvreter  your whole comment is full of arrogance. The only ignorant person here, are you. I'm glad to know you seem to know better than someone who's job it is. Maybe get your head out of your ass and start to learn from the newer generation as well. I personally hope I never get anywhere like you when I get older and that I stay in touch with the world I live in. The 20th century is a century of two world wars and a cold war. With my family being refugees of the first, resistance fighters in the second and having family in the USSR during the cold war. I think my family knows plenty, we just aren't stuck in the past. Also no the war against the Spanish was about religious persecution and disproportionate taxation of the low countries. It was at first not even aimed at the King of Spain. Where do you think the line "Den koning van Hispanje, heb ik altijd geërd" comes from? The newer generation doesn't know all and neither do you. You indeed have a 20th century way of thinking and I am glad this way of thinking will die out with your generation, as, again it let to two world wars, a cold war (we also have someone in the family who fought in Korea) and alot of colonial conflicts, including the Indonesian war of independence, or as you probably know it "de politionele acties". A disgusting conflict in of itself. What you glorify about our past, is the same stuff the Americans and Russians are doing on the 21st century. So I suppose you see the American interventions in the middle east and the Russian invasions of Georgia and Ukraine as normal? As to put into perspective what you think is normal. So maybe stop the "I know better because I am older and everyone who has a different opinion than mine is poorly educated/ignorant" attitude as that makes you the ignorant person here. I know change is difficult, but that is what happens, the day of today, doesn't exist anymore tomorrow. You can learn plenty of the younger generation, ironically the generations before you, spoke the same about you, as you do about the youngest generations.

  6983.  @marune1975  nee dat was je eigen kind. Ik ben afgestudeerd in Utrecht. Maar terug naar topic. Als je wilt kan ik je de Russische-Oekraïense relatie vanaf de 17de eeuw uitleggen hoor. Inclusief de roots daarvan in 9de tot 13de eeuwse Kyivan Rus'. Met als opmerkelijkste gebeurtenissen, dat nog steeds effect heeft op de huidige situatie: afschaffing van het Kozakken Hetmanaat door Katherina II "de Grote" van Rusland. Maar ook de Russificatie pogingen onder met name Alexander III, waarbij onder andere de Oekraïense taal verboden werd. Natuurlijk moeten we ook niet de Sovjet periode vergeten, specifiek de periode onder Stalin waarin de Holodomor plaatsvond. De wens voor onafhankelijkheid en het hebben van vrijheid van Moskou, is al te zien in de gedichten van Taras Shevchenko, een 19de eeuwse Oekrainse schrijver. Onder andere in zijn gedicht "Kaukasus". Dit in tegenstelling tot het imperialistische Russische gedachtengoed van de "all-Russian nation" waarin de Russen, Oekraïeners en Wit-Russen zogenaamd één volk zouden zijn. Dit is echter een nationale mythe, niet anders dan de Nederlandse nationale mythe, dat we afstammen van de Bataven (Batavii), en dat doen we dus niet. Met de Russische claim gebasseerd op de Kyivan Rus' een middeleeuwse Oost-Slavische staat. In tegenstelling tot wat Oekraïense nationalisten zeggen, is Kyivan Rus' niet Oekraïne, het is echter ook niet Rusland zoals de Russen zullen zeggen. Het is simpel weg een voorloper van de huidige oost-Slavische volkeren (net zoals het Rijk van de Franken een voorloper is van Nederland, Duitsland en Frankrijk). De all-Russian nation mythe is hetzelfde als wanneer Duitsers zouden claimen dat wij hetzelfde volk zijn als zij, enkel omdat we ooit onderdeel van dezelfde rijken waren. Dan is er de recente geschiedenis, waarin Yanukovich al eerder veroordeeld was voor verkiezingsfraude, zijn politieke tegenstander Yuliya Tymoshenko liet opsluiten, en miljoenen stal van de Oekraïense staat. Waarbij de laatste druppel was, dat hij zich niet aan zijn afspraken hield en op het laatste moment net voor het tekenen van het EU associatie verdrag, deze afwees en daarvoor in de plaatst een verdrag sloot met de EEU. In het geval van Euromaidan/revolutie van de waardigheid, deze begon als een vreedzaam protest tegen Yanukovich, maar er werd keihard tegenopgetreden. Onder andere door snipers te plaatsen in het "Oekraïne" hotel (hotel achter het plein van de onafhankelijkheid). Dit harde optreden zou leiden tot doden en hierdoor werd de situatie onhoudbaar voor Yanukovich en hij zou vluchten naar Rusland. De rest is bekend. Dit om weer on topic te zijn. 😉

  7008. @Werner von frankfurt Russische burgers in de Donbass? Je bedoelt Oekraïense burgers op Oekraïens land? Ja precies. Het feit, dat je ze als Russische burgers ziet zegt al genoeg over jou verstand. Mijn familie woont in de Donbass )) Zij zijn Oekraïeners. De Donbass oorlog was een door Rusland georchistreerde burgers oorlog in het oosten van het land. Zichbaar aan het feit dat FSB agenten belangrijke posities binnen de DNR en LNR innamen. Buiten het feit, dat ik sowieso geen "Hollander" ben gezien het feit, dat ik niet uit Noord- of Zuid-Holland kom, weet ik meer van de situatie in de Donbass dan jij. Ooit daar geweest? Ik meedere keren sinds 2014. Gezien ik vrienden en familie had zowel in Oekraïens en seperatisch gecontroleerd gebied. Dit nog naast het feit dat ik een geschiedenis major heb, gespecialiseerd op Soviet and Post-Soviet geschiedenis van Oekraïne en Rusland. Met de huidige tactieken dat Rusland in Oekraïne toepaste in de Krim en Donbass, al eerder toegepast in Transnistrië (Pridnestrovische Moldavische Republiek) om gebied van Moldavië te bezette in 1991. Het paste deze tactieken ook toe in de Georgische Burgeroorlog waarbij het Abkhazië bezette en nogmaals in 2008 om Zuid-Ossetië te bezetten. Vervolgens hebben Kremlin personen ook gedreigd richting Kazachstan over de ethnisch Russisch gebieden daar. Rusland creëert zelf deze conflicten alvorens het de lokale bevolking komt "bevrijden". Als je problemen hebt met bijna al je buurlanden, ligt het dan aan de buurlanden of aan jezelf? Wat Rusland doet is niet anders dan wat de Nazi's deden in Oostenrijk en daarna het Tsjechoslowaakse Sudetenland en daarna Polen. Of lag dat ook allemaal aan de buurlanden. Om jouw worden te gebuiken "Jezus wat is het verstand van de gemiddelde FvD wappie anno 2022". Ik weet, dat je een facist bent, maar iets minder naar führer Putin en lakei Baudet luisteren )). А теперь иди в след за своим уебким русским кораблем, то есть на хуй:) орк )). (Aangezien je zo veel van de situatie denkt te weten en zo pro Russisch bent, denk ik dat je de taal van de vijand wel kent ))

  7091.  @masterofdisaster7427  hahaha. Ik denk, dat ik meer weet van de gehele regio en de geschiedenis daaromheen dan jij. Aangezien ik afgestuurd ben op geschiedenis en gespecialiseerd ben in Oost-Europa. Ik zou je aanraden je ook zo te verdiepen, maar ja dat kost jaren tijd en ik weet niet of jij die tijd hebt. Hoe is je Russisch trouwens? Dan kun je namelijk ook Russische bronnen gebruiken. Dan is er nog het feit, dat je hier puur Russische propaganda verkoopt en de kenmerkende actie uitvoert waarbij Rusland altijd als slachtoffer word neergezet door zijn supporters. Hetzelfde geld voor wo II waar men dan maar al te lief het Molotov-Ribbentrop pact en diens gevolgen vergeet te benoemen. Hetzelfde is nu het geval met NAVO uitbreiding naar het oosten. De Centraal en Oost-Europese landen zijn soevereine landen, die zelf mogen bepalen waar ze wel of niet bij horen. Ze zijn niet gedwongen, maar traden vrijwillig toe. En ik zal je uitleggen waarom. Omdat Rusland geen slachtoffer is, maar een dader. De Baltische Staten herinneren zich de deportaties na 1939 en 1943. De Tsjechen (waaronder familie van mij) herinneren zich 1968. De Hongaren herinneren zich de Hongaarse Revolutie. De Polen herinneren zich ook 1939, maar ook specifiek Katyn en ook Soviet ingrijpen toe zij wilde hervormen. Tot slot herinnert Oekraïne zich de deportaties van de Krim tartaren, maar ook de rode terreur en de Holodomor. Misschien inlezen in echte Russische geschiedenis en niet mythes. Verder is het NAVO standpunt sowieso onzin, want we zien Zweden en Finland die willen toetreden tot de NAVO (Finland herinnert zich 1939 ook nog heel goed) en daar doet Rusland niks aan. Terwijl strategisch gezien dit minstens net zo gevaarlijk is als Oekraïne in de NAVO. Ook deze gang van zaken is niet geïnitieerd door de NAVO maar door de imperialistische ambities van een staat, dat geopolitiek gezien nog vast zit in de 19de en begin 20ste eeuw. Waarbij gelijkwaardige relaties onmogelijk zijn voor de Russen. Hun relaties zijn altijd gebaseerd op een dominante en ondergeschikte partij, nooit gelijkwaardigheid. Zolang Rusland zijn buren niet als gelijkwaardig beschouwd, zullen zij zich zelf willen beschermen tegen dit imperialisme. Want de overige voormalige Soviet Republieken zijn net zo souverein en hebben de zelfde rechten als de Russische Federatie. De RF is de laatste functioneerde ouderwetse koloniale en imperialistische macht op aarde.

  7186.  S D  then don't support Russia 🤦‍♂️. There is only one country that has set up camps in this war. I am a decendant of a Czech man, born in Germany (but of Czech parents) as his mom fled the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This Czech man, which held the German nationality, moved to the Netherlands before WW II, because he didn't agree with A. Hitler. But sadly A. Hitler would come for his new country as well. So the Czech man, with at this time still the German nationality, living in the Netherlands, joined the resistance. He would be captured and brought to a camp (imagine what the Germans would do to a fellow German national they consider a "traitor".) He would be freed and survive the war. After the war he would get Dutch citizenship, in particular for his actions defending against facism. This man is the father of my grandfather. So facism and nazism is something my family despises to the core of our being. Whilst there are nazis in Ukraine, like there are in any country, the state that meets the definition of facism and being a facist state, is Russia, not Ukraine. If you properly analyse his speeches, you will find similarities to those of Hitler. Including the terminology used. About socialism, well I am glad we have a decent health care and educational system in most of Europe. Americans sadly associate "socialism" with communism and when they here the world socialism they think of the USSR. Whilst some countries with quite some socialist influence, like the Scandinavian and Benelux countries, are some of the happiest and richest countries on earth as well some of the strongest democracies on earth (with them outperforming the US in terms of the happiness of its population as well as the strength of democracy).. The only mistake of the US in ww2 was waiting so long to intervene. It could have prevented alot of suffering by acting sooner. I am glad that the US has now this time decided to act earlier. In the long run it will safe American lives mate. Because if you think he will stop in Ukraine, than sorry my man, but you're living in a fantasy world. Crimea was his Austria, as he annexed it without a reaction. And he tried to make Ukraine his Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia as a whole. After which he would have attacked the Baltic and Poland. But this time the dictator was stopped at the Czechoslovakia part if we speak in ww2 parallels.

  7187.  S D  wait did you just say rehashes of Hiler's or very communist? You mean the exact opposites of each other hahaha. Have you studied history yourself or are you just repeating the words of other people? Also you definition of socialism is so wrong lol. Where do you get this from? Hahahahaha. As someone who has a master in history it is incredible funny to read. Marxist "socialism" is a form of communism xD it is extreme left and is the startpoint of communism from which Lenininsm, Stalinism and Maoism developed from. These are all forms of communism and against extreme left. Then there is normal "socialism" or democratic socialism which is leftist, just as liberalism is on the right. But these are both non extreme ideologies that function within democracies. It is clear that you have a very wrong understanding of what socialism is. National socialism (nazism) is extreme right as it is a Facist ideology, with the "socialism" part being its economic policies, not its ideological thoughts nor political actions. National Socialism in the end isn't trully socialism at all. Were have you gotten the bs definitions from that you got? As I would love to read this bs xD fascists are not socialists. Mussolini was even kicked out of the socialist party in Italy before forming his facist party. Facism and communism (not so much socialism) are two sides of the same coin though. They are the exact opposites of each other, but according to the horseshoe territory the extreme left and extreme right are closer to each other than to the political centre. Which is the reason why Stalin and Hitler were two sides of the same coin, whilst being archenemies and believing in opposite ideologies. About the speeches, as someone who analysed Hiler's speeches as part of studies and now work, this is factually untrue. Also saying he loved the USSR nd the making this claim is kind off weird. Considering Hitler considered the USSR and communists the biggest evil on earth. I also analysed Biden's speeches (leftist) and Putin's speeches. With Putin's speeches using terminology also seen in mein kampf. Including his use of the facist trope of self cleansing of society to root out traitors. I speak Russian (and Ukrainian, it happens with Ukrainian family and girlfriend) but will quote him in English for you. He literally said about "national traitors" (as a single word/ term as seen in Mein Kampf) that :"We will spit them out like a fly that flew into your mouth". That is a reference to self cleaning of Russian society.

  7189.  S D  Marxism isn't right.. have you actually read his work? Marxism is from which communism arose, a leftist ideology. Nazism is extreme right my man. For once don't be a typical American and believe the people from countries that actually experienced living under the nazis. Also the communist/facist similarities are explained by the use of the horseshoe theory. An actual accepted theory. Facism is supremacist. Extremely/ultra nationalist. To quote from Wikipedia, because I can't be bothered to go and search for the scientific books I have about the subject, :"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy." "Fascism rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries, most notably Germany.Fascism also had adherents outside of Europe.[6] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum". Democratic socialism: "Democratic socialism is a left-wing political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management within a market socialist economy or an alternative form of a decentralised planned socialist economy. Democratic socialists argue that capitalism is inherently incompatible with the values of freedom, equality, and solidarity and that these ideals can only be achieved through the realisation of a socialist society. Although most democratic socialists seek a gradual transition to socialism, democratic socialism can support revolutionary or reformist politics to establish socialism.[7] Democratic socialism was popularised by socialists who opposed the backsliding towards a one-party state in the Soviet Union and other nations during the 20th century". "Democratic socialism is contrasted with Marxism–Leninism, which opponents often perceive as being authoritarian, bureaucratic, and undemocratic in practice. Democratic socialists oppose the Stalinist political system and the Soviet-type economic planning system, rejecting as their form of governance the administrative-command system formed in the Soviet Union and other Marxist–Leninist states during the 20th century.Democratic socialism is also distinguished from Third Way social democracy, because democratic socialists are committed to the systemic transformation of the economy from capitalism to socialism, while social democrats use capitalism to create a strong welfare state, leaving many businesses under private ownership.However, many democratic socialists also advocate for state regulations and welfare programs in order to reduce what they view as the harms of capitalism and slowly transform the economic system."

  7190.  S D  "Marxism–Leninism is an authoritarian communist ideology which was the main communist movement throughout the 20th century.[1] Developed by the Bolsheviks, it was the state ideology of the Soviet Union,[2] its satellite states in the Eastern Bloc, and various countries in the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World during the Cold War,[3] as well as the Communist International after Bolshevisation.[4] Today, Marxism–Leninism is the ideology of the ruling parties of China, Cuba, Laos and Vietnam (all one-party 'socialist republics'),[5] as well as many other communist parties, while the state ideology of North Korea is derived from Marxism–Leninism.[6] Marxist–Leninist states are commonly referred to as "communist states" by Western academics." "Marxism–Leninism was developed from Bolshevism by Joseph Stalin in the 1920s based on his understanding and synthesis of orthodox Marxism and Leninism.[16][17] After the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, Marxism–Leninism became a distinct movement in the Soviet Union when Stalin and his supporters gained control of the party. It rejected the common notion among Western Marxists of world revolution as a prerequisite for building socialism, in favour of the concept of socialism in one country. According to its supporters, the gradual transition from capitalism to socialism was signified by the introduction of the first five-year plan and the 1936 Soviet Constitution.[18] By the late 1920s, Stalin established ideological orthodoxy in the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the Soviet Union, and the Communist International to establish universal Marxist–Leninist praxis.[19][16] The formulation of the Soviet version of dialectical and historical materialism in the 1930s by Stalin and his associates, such as in Stalin's book Dialectical and Historical Materialism, became the official Soviet interpretation of Marxism,[20] and was taken as example by Marxist-Leninists in other countries. In 1938, Stalin's official textbook History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) popularised the term "Marxism-Leninism".[21]" "The internationalism of Marxism–Leninism was expressed in supporting revolutions in other countries, initially through the Communist International and then through the concept of socialist-leaning countries after de-Stalinisation. The establishment of other Communist states after World War II resulted in Sovietisation, and these states tended to follow the Soviet Marxist–Leninist model of five-year plans and rapid industrialisation, political centralisation, and repression. During the Cold War, Marxism–Leninism was a driving force in international relations.[vague][22] With the death of Stalin and the ensuing de-Stalinisation, Marxism–Leninism underwent several revisions and adaptations such as Guevarism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, Hoxhaism, Maoism, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and Titoism. This also caused several splits between Marxist–Leninist states, resulting in the Tito–Stalin split, the Sino-Soviet split, and the Sino-Albanian split. The socio-economic nature of Marxist–Leninist states, especially that of the Soviet Union during the Stalin era, has been much debated, varyingly being labelled a form of bureaucratic collectivism, state capitalism, state socialism, or a totally unique mode of production.[23] The Eastern Bloc, including Marxist–Leninist states in Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Third World socialist regimes, have been variously described as "bureaucratic-authoritarian systems",[24] and China's socio-economic structure has been referred to as "nationalistic state capitalism".[25]"

  7191.  S D  "Nazism (German: Nazismus) (/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/ NA(H)T-see-iz-əm),[1] the common name in English for National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, German: [natsi̯oˈnaːlzotsi̯aˌlɪsmʊs] (listen)), is the far-right[2] totalitarian[3] political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany. During Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Europe, it was frequently referred to as Hitlerism (German: Hitlerfaschismus). The later related term "neo-Nazism" is applied to other far-right groups with similar ideas which formed after the Second World War." Nazism is a form of fascism,[4][5][6][7] with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates a dictatorship,[3] fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist neopagan Völkisch movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century, and it was strongly influenced by the Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's underlying "cult of violence".[8] Nazism subscribed to pseudo-scientific theories of a racial hierarchy[9] and social Darwinism, identifying the Germans as a part of what the Nazis regarded as an Aryan or Nordic master race.[10] It aimed to overcome social divisions and create a homogeneous German society based on racial purity which represented a people's community (Volksgemeinschaft).". "The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of socialism, as an alternative to both Marxist international socialism and free-market capitalism. Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism, and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good", accepting political interests as the main priority of economic organisation,[11] which tended to match the general outlook of collectivism or communitarianism rather than economic socialism. The Nazi Party's precursor, the pan-German nationalist and antisemitic German Workers' Party (DAP), was founded on 5 January 1919. By the early 1920s, the party was renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party in order to appeal to left-wing workers,[12] a renaming that Hitler initially objected to.[13] The National Socialist Program, or "25 Points", was adopted in 1920 and called for a united Greater Germany that would deny citizenship to Jews or those of Jewish descent, while also supporting land reform and the nationalisation of some industries. In Mein Kampf, literally "My Struggle", published in 1925–1926, Hitler outlined the antisemitism and anti-communism at the heart of his political philosophy as well as his disdain for representative democracy and his belief in Germany's right to territorial expansion.[14]"

  7361. En wat vind je eigenlijk van het Boedapest Memorandum van 1994, immers als deze door Rusland was nageleeft, was Minsk en Minsk II niet nodig geweest. Kortom je bent een hypocriet. Deze situatie ontstond in 2014 door toedoen van Rusland, notabene een permanent lid van veiligheidsraad, met de invasie van de Autonome Republiek van de Krim en het interveren met wapens, de FSB en zelfs het leger, in de Donetsk en Luhansk oblasten. Duitsland is geen permanent lid van de VN veiligheidsraad, wat dus ook meteen laat zien hoe weinig je van het onderwerp weet. Aangezien de permanente leden van de VN veiligheidsraad: Frankrijk, Verenigd Koninkrijk, Verenigde Staten, Volksrepubliek China (die deze status heeft overgenomen van de Republiek China) en Rusland (die deze status heeft overgenomen van het niet meer bestaande USSR door zich de enigste juridische opvolger te noemen, een status dat al sinds 1991 betwist wordt door Oekraïne). Waar bij gemeld moet worden, dat Rusland nooit de juiste stappen voor VN lidmaatschap heeft ondergaan (aangezien Rusland niet de USSR is en zich er onafhankelijk van verklaarde). Duitsland, als een verliezende partij in ww2, is dus geen permanent lid. Als we jouw beredenering gebruiken, moeten we dus concluderen, dat de Russische Federatie uit de VN veiligheidsraad gezet moet worden op grond van het niet naleven van Boedapest ('94), Minsk en Minsk II. Aangezien in het OSCE rapport over de Donbass oorlog ook duidelijk was, dat de meeste schendingen van de door Minsk en Minsk II gecreëerde staakt-het-vuren gemaakt werden vanuit Seperatische kant en dat de meeste gevechten begonnen na, met name ДНР (DNR/DPR) provocaties.

  7475.  ♠️ Манька Облигация  lol you are clearly Russian and not Ukrainian. It surrounds you like a stench. The bs about Ukrainian neo nazis using Swastikas is funny when you consider the fact that Russians use the "Z" in a way similar to how the Germans uses the "hakenkreuz". Not to mention that the extreme right has no presence to speak of in Ukrainian politics. Which despite being corrupt, is a democracy that even since 2014 has had successive democratically elected governments. This in contrast to Russia which is an autocracy which is turning more and more totalitarian with a leader that can considered extreme right, I'd even say facist considering his latest actions in regards to human rights and fundamental freedoms. This is without mentioning that is rethoric, including in speeches, resembles of A. Hitler and his "mein kampf" which is what makes the irony complete. And about the image of christ, I am a Christian too and if you were a proper Christian you also know that there is no justification for invading your neighbours. Once more people like you, use our faith for Ill purpose. You disgrace christianity by bring banners with his face to the battlefield and bring death and pain in the name of our lord, especially since besides these banners, you have flags of the atheist and evil (not because they were atheist) USSR. About the tattoos... I think God takes more offense at you killing fellow Christians as well as innocent people including children, than he has about some people having certain tattoos on their body. You claim to be a Christen but seem to lack any Christian morals. The Germans also believed they were the good guys fighting evil, only finding out that indeed it was good vs evil, but that in fact they were the evil. This is exactly the same now. If you are truly Ukrainian, which I doubt, you have been brainwashed by Russian bs to the point that you've become a Judas. It is clear to me that, if you are truly Ukrainian, you are sadly stuck with the little Russian attitude, in which case I feel sorry for you.

  7477.  @S.v.a.r.o.g...  hahahaha I love how Serbs and Russians always blame the west. You're no different than the Nazis always blaming the communists. The reason your country and Russia are economic shit holes is because of your own leaders. Stop blaming others for your own mistakes and grow up. The fact you believe in USSR could win the war single handedly myth is adorable. WW2 was a combined effort of the allies (including USSR). But it sounds your Russian superiority complex. The USSR destroyed it's own economy because it was a flawed system lol. There is one person here that is only blaming others without admitting the faults of it's own country. And it's you. Nationalism and propaganda has rotten your brain. I want to ask you, after the Putin facist regime has fallen, can I interview you in 20/30 years? It will be like with how they did with the Germans after the nazis. You will also be like "yeah but we didn't know better" and stuff like that. So is that good? Also I am actually a history major xD I know more history than you'll ever know. I even know about Serbian history (including the Kosovo is the original Serbian homeland myth) US dictates EU policy, how stuck in propaganda are you 🤣🤣. US has nothing to do with the EU idiot. It's France and Germany that mostly dictate EU policy lol and every country has it's own policy lol. If the US dictated EU policy we would already have completely boycotted all Russian gas and oil, which we still haven't lol. This literally contradicts US interests which wants to sell US gas and oil and itself already boycotted this from Russia. What an idiot are you

  7531.  @blazn0  of je support Baudet, een man die antisemitische opmerkingen in de privésfeer oké vind. Die zo'n beetje in alle complottheorieën geloofd die er zijn op de aarde en wiens opmerking over dat Oekraïne geen recht heeft te bestaan doordat er meerdere ethnische groepen leven op dit gebied, duidelijk geen kennis heeft van Rusland want deze bestaat uit honderden ethnische groepen. Bovendien steunt hij vrij open het Russische facisme, met name in het Westen geintroduceerd als Alexander Doegin's Eurazianisme (zijn dochter heeft al geleerd wat karma is, helaas kan ze deze les niet doorvertellen). Waarschijnlijk, omdat het Kremlin hem financieert. Verder heeft hij ook openlijk banden met Alexander Dugin, die zelfs door Poetin als extreem gezien wordt. Ja Of je volgt zijn meester direct. Poetin, een man die in zijn speech over Oekraïnse rethoriek gebruikte, dat vergelijkbaar was met dat van Hitler over Polen. Een man die Polen de schuld geeft van WO II, en die als casus belli voor de oorlog de exact zelfde casus belli gebruikt als Nazi Duitsland deed. Dan is er nog de repressie in Rusland zelf dat van de autoritaire staat een steeds totalitairdere staat maakt. Het feit dat hij de term nationaalverrader gebruikte in zijn speech waarin hij sprak over de zelfreinigging van het Russische volk. Termen die voorkomen in meinkampf. Bovendien was er het voorstel omdat Poetin de Russische variant van de titel leider te geven i.p.v. president. Voor de mensen die geen Duits spreken Führer betekent ook leider. Met het feit, dat Poetin's ideolgie duidelijk is beïnvloedt door Ivan Iljin (Ilyin) (niet Alexander Doegin zoals veel Westerlingen denken).

  7661.  @antoniodomene  the first part is the problem (the Russia part, not the fact you have sons or that they are Russian). You clearly have a biased view. I have a Ukrainian girlfriend, Ukrainian family and Ukrainian friends. Living all through Ukraine, from Lviv to Donetsk and from Kyiv to Odessa. These people don't want a pro Western government because the US, or anyone, intervened in their country. They are pro Western, because they want something different than the past. They don't know what the EU or the USA will bring them, but they do know what a future within the Russian world brings them. They remember the holodomor as well as the anti Ukrainian and Russification policies that have been happening there for centuries. They didn't hate Russia, they do know, but just wanted a better future. Russia as achieved what no Ukrainian politician could have ever done, unite the country. I would like to remind you that Russia chose this war. They can also end it by just leaving Ukraine. Ukraine has no chose in the matter, as stopping to fight the invaders, will mean they country, culture and people will seize to exist. No Ukrainian "loves" this war, but the war is an existential one for them, there is no choice. They all just want their country back, in the borders that were agreed in 1991 (which even leaves alot of ethnic Ukrainians in Russia, namely the Kuban, so they really don't ask much) and be left alone by Russia. All they want is freedom from Russia and that Russia leaves them alone. That is the only reason they want to join NATO. About the last part, I am a Dutch national but with clear Ukrainian roots. I would fight for them if needed. Would you not consider it my war? After all are we not all responsible for upholding international law so we won't slip back into the 20th century was which were so destructive? Imagine those conflicts with modern technology. Btw this applies both ways, I also strongly opposed the American interventions in the middle east and Libya. Vietnam was before my time.

  7735. @kocik  The war is an imperialist project. If we look back at history, it is not the first time the Russians have done this with Ukraine (or the other states around them). The essay Putin wrote himself (published on the Kremlin website) as well as his statements about Ukraine make it very clear that he doesn't think Ukrainians exist, nor their culture or language. A recurring theme in Russian history is the repression of Ukrainian culture, language, and other expressions of a nation. This is because of the believe that without Ukraine under Russian controll, there can be no Russian Empire and for Russians the notion of Russia existing without being an empire is inconceivable, just like those growing up in the 19th century couldn't have imagined the UK not having its empire. About Sweden joining, they want to be protected. There is the old saying from Latin that those who desire peace should be prepared for war. European countries aren't interested in war, but by being tied to the US and together as well, you ensure that you're not invaded. There is a reason Russia invaded Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2014 and 2022) and not any of the Baltic States. Countries tend to only invade those countries they consider weaker or, at maximum, equal to themselves. Joining NATO means you add all of the other NATO members on this power scale. Russia itself is an aggressive, imperialist power, and therefore, it believes its neighbours are the same. Someone who easily kills others also thinks others can do that to him.

  7742. @Theo 30  putin just recently unveiled a new statue of Stalin my dude. So yeah. Russia before and after the start of the war are two different states my dude. I mean that with all repect. Unless the Russian troops in Moldova are 50 years old, they are not the same troops lol. What I mean is that they keep cycling their forces there so yeah they are occupying the region. Russia can wish countries to be neutral, I understand that, but Russia doesn't decide the actions of their neighbours. The countries are independent and they make decisions that are important for them, not Russia. Those countries aren't just bufferstates. That is a very 19th and 20th century way of thinking, an imperialist way. Those countries are souvereign states too. Nobody wants to invade Russia, war is kinda bad for most democratically elected governments. The US has lost most of its recent wars due to the population losing support for it, not their military might, nobody is going to support an invasion of Russia where there is nothing to gain for us. I think most in the West do not wish to go fight in Russia for no reason in an offensive war, and public opinion does matter here, defensive wars, as you see with Ukraine, is different though. The fact is mate, that many countries are traumatised by Russian actions in the past. You can try to rationalise this, but that won't work. Traumas and fears are not often rational, so I understand those countries wanting to protect themselves and they have right to do it. For the rest I respect your opinion on it and I understand Russia's viewpoints but in this case the path they choose is the wrong one. I think most Europeans would welcome a democratic Russia as a partner when they abolish their Imperialism, they are not our archnemesis although they seem to think we are. We won't agree on this, so lets agree to disagree, but it is good to see someone who uses his brain, although we disagree, compared to most here.

  8036.  @Matt-yg8ub  lol no my argument does not come down to whataboutism at all. As in this case Russia's bad reputation on the world stage considering its early actions in both Ukraine and its current actions in regards to violating the terms of its agreements with European countries and the sanctions opposed on it by its recent actions is exactly the reason why Lithuania has taken these actions. They're direct consequences of Russia's actions and therefore what I said is relevant for this subject. But nice try, it would have been whataboutism if I would have pointed to other actions of the Russian Federation, like it's invasion of Georgia of 2008 or the numerous political killings and imprisonments of Russian opposition members. As this is irrelevant to the current situation. Again nice try. You exactly point to the exact point I try to make with the sentence "Ukraine had a revolution and Russia no longer recognized an agreement they made with a different government". Russia has no right to just not recognize a government that was put into power by it's people, especially since there have been two governments since, which have been democratically chosen by the Ukrainian people. The fact Russia doesn't like they are pro Western governments, doesn't mean they can't just recognize any agreement they made with the country in the past. It's laughable especially considering the Russian cries about NATO promising not to expand to the east. In which case the agreement, if it ever have been made in the first place, was made with an entirely different country and government. In that case Russia is like "we are the USSR's successors, so any agreement made with them, still applies with us". You can't just stop recognizing agreements because you don't like the government the people of another country chose. Russia has taken this one sided unrecognizing of international agreements to the extreme with its earlier threat to annul the USSR's recognition of independence of Lithuania (which is not how recognition and international law works). Yet now it cries about Lithuania allegedly violating an international agreement, after the clear threat they made to Lithuanian independence. An international agreement that is not violated at all since there is still free movement of people and unsanctioned goods between Kaliningrad oblast and the Russian mainland. I think countries should keep their agreements, but when you yourself have shown to be prone to break agreements and are prone to disregard your own promises, you can't expect others to keep to their word when dealing with you. This happens with people that lie and break their promises and agreements too, other people won't take them serious anymore and don't give alot of value to agreements with such people. So stop playing the victim, which is also a Russian trick, and always blaming the West. This one is on you yourself and take responsibility for this.

  8037.  @Matt-yg8ub  "the West" didn't invade these countries. The US did. Maybe learn to differentiate the two terms okay? That would maybe help you understanding the world better. The vast majority of Europeans did at no point support the US's actions in the middle east and Latin America. Again it wasn't "the West" putting missiles in Turkey, it was the US. The Cuban missile crisis was between the US and the USSR not "the West" and the USSR. I, and with me alot of Europeans, are against the US's invasions as much as we are against the current Russian invasions. But it is again the Russian mind, which doesn't understand nations can disagree but still be friends like the European countries and the US. So no double standards at all. Also is it really strange Europeans react differently considering Russia brought war back to Europe? Shattering the notion of finally a peace Europe, you know the continent on which most of ww1 and a large part of ww2 was fought and both were started.. yeah really strange huh. People always react more on things happening close to them then further away. This is human psychology. Had Russia broken one agreement, I would have agreed with you. But it has a tendency to break it's agreements. Otto von Bismarck already famously said :"agreements made with the Russians aren't worth the paper they're written on". Do I agree with counties breaking their agreements? No, is it understandable now? Yes. Would you give any value to an agreement you made with a person that has constantly broken it's promises and agreements with you?

  8127.  @FreekSlot  het probleem is, dat er al een diplomatieke oplossing was. Het Boedapest Memorandum van 1991. Waarin Oekraïne als 3de kernmacht I de wereld, zijn kernwapens opgaf in ruil for neutraliteit en garanties op zijn territoriale integriteit en soevereiniteit. Dit werd gebroken in 2014 en pas toen wilde Oekraïne bij de NAVO, om zichzelf te beschermen van Rusland. Veel van de landen in de voormalig Oostblok (het bestaat immers niet meer) hebben trauma's aan de Russen, denk aan 1939 voor de Polen, net zoals Katyn en Russisch optreden toen Polen wilde hervormen, de Praagse Lente voor Tsjechië en Slowakije, de Hongaarse Revolutie etc. Deze landen wilde zichzelf beschermen tegen imperialisme (het idee van bufferzones/Staten is imperialistisch. Immers hebben zij, zoals je aangaf, ook het recht op zelfbeschikking). De enigste reden waarom Oekraïne bij de NAVO wilt, en hetzelfde geld voor Zweden en Finland, alsmede de Baltische Staten, Tsjechië etc. Is Rusland zelf. Rusland is de beste salespitcher van de NAVO. Oekraïne word door de grootmachten als een pion gezien, maar ik steun hen die hasr onafhankelijkheid beschermen. Rusland ontkent het bestaan van Oekraïne, zijn taal, cultuur en natie. Daar heeft de NAVO geen rol in. Ik ben het niet eens met de NAVO op veel vlakken, maar deze oorlog is de schuld van Rusland, en een beetje van de VS met grootmachtspelletjes, maar met name Rusland en Oekraïne is het slachtoffer wiens enigste "misdaad" is dat het bestaat, iets wat een belediging is voor alles wat Russisch nationalistisch is.

  8156.  @luckyluke1503  you are Russian aren't you hahaha. You repeat the Russian propaganda lines over and over. You seem not to have a mind of your own but just be a parrot of the Kremlin. Then again Russians never have learned to think for themselves, it's been like this since the Czars of old. About Serbia, well bad move to intervene without UN approval, especially since it set a precedent. NATO intervened to stop the genocide on the Albanian population in Kosovo, which I am sure you are aware of yourself. Yet it did result in territorial change and this excuse is now twisted by Russia everytime they want to invade someonr. About Libya, bad man but economic reasons behind the intervention. This governments partaking in them have all been voted out of government by now and I think nobody would disagree with saying what we did was not smart and shouldn't have been done. Because we actually take responsibility for our actions instead of you Russians always blaming the others. It's always the Americans, the West, now the Ukrainians but it is never the fault of Russia. Ohw poor Russia always the victim🤮. The biggest difference between NATO interventions and Russia's invasions are well that NATO doesn't invade other countries and annex parts of their countries. The dead Russia has brought to Ukraine, I remind you a formerly brotherly nation, is unprecedented. Stop playing the victim and actually take responsibility for your own actions. For once the Russian people should stop behaving like children. Are you guys actually corrected by your parents if you point to others when you do something stupid? My mom would tell me "so if somebody else jumps of a bridge, would you do so too?" and that only I am responsible for my own actions, nobody else. Currently Russia is occupying and has annexed lands from Ukraine both directly and through its proxies in Donetsk and Luhansk, is occupying lands for decades in Georgia (even a former ally in the Commonwealth of Independent States) through its proxies Abkhazia and South Ossetia, with South Ossetia soon to be annexed if Russia gets it's way and has been occupying ,through its proxy Tranistria, territory of Moldova, a neutral country. Considering you are listing the mistakes of NATO let's also include Chechnya and the horrors that Russia brought on that people trying to use their right of self determination, something Russia now keeps saying in regards of Donetsk, Luhansk, Abkhazia and South Ossetia P.S. before you start about Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq those were American invasions, not NATO interventions, most allies were against the actions taken there and didn't support the invasion.

  8390.  @bartlint5502  ziehier mijn punt over anti intelectuelisme dat ik in een andere comment maakte. Je gedeelte over de VS (NAVO als organisatie heeft niks met imperialisme te maken, de VS wel) is whataboutisme en een kenmerk van Russophiles, omdat hun standpunten zwak zijn. De acties van de VS rechtvaardigen niet die van de VS, maar ik zal er antwoord opgeven. Ook de Amerikanen doen aan imperialisme en ook die steun ik niet. Sommige van ons zijn geen hypocrieten. Jij toont wel een hypocriet te zijn door Russisch imperialisme te steunen en tevens Amerikaans imperialisme af te keuren. Verder zie ik geen punt om woorden vuil te maken aan Amerikaans imperialisme, of Frans en Brits neo imperialisme. Allemaal ook slecht en problemen, maar geen rechtvaardiging voor de Russen. Over Russisch Imperialisme, ik heb geen tijd en zin om je de Russische geschiedenis uit te leggen. Rusland handelt echt namens een aantal dingen. Het idee van de "all-Russian nation" en daarmee de ontkenning van o.a. de Oekraiense cultuur, natie, staat en taal als bestaand en ziet ze als "mini Russen" en Russen die de wegkwijt zijn. Dit is niet anders dan de acties van het Russisch keizerrijk ontrent Russificatie. Wie zien dit dan ook gebeuren in de bezette gebieden van Oekraïne. Dan is er nog het Karakanov doctrine, dat zegt dat Rusland per definitie bepaald wat er in de post Soviet ruimte gebeurd en dat die landen daarin "bufferstaten" zijn. Dit idee is per definitie imperialistisch aangezien ook die landen het recht op zelfbeschikking zijn en gelijken zijn aan Moskou, al ziet Moskou hen dus als ondergeschikt. Het deed dus al aan imperialisme door indirecte overheersing van onafhankelijke Staten en doet het nu ook directer in Belarus en sinds de invasie van Oekraïne heeft het zelfs daadwerkelijk gepoogd gebieden te annexeren. Overigens kun je de definitie van Imperialisme zelf opzoeken. Voordat je met claims komt, dat Oekraïne historisch Russisch land is, het overgrote gedeelte van Rusland behoort van oorsprong tot andere landen. Dus ik neem aan, dat Rusland die gebieden dan ook teruggeeft?

  8425.  @kareldekale4987  de gouden koets was een gift van de stad Amsterdam aan Koningin Wilhelmina. Dus je slaat de plank volledig mis om die aan te halen om daarmee het koninklijk huis aan te vallen. Bovendien word de koets al nier meer gebruikt en word deze nu najuist ingezet bij het vertellen van het koloniaal verleden. Dan is er nog het punt, dat voor het grootste gedeelte van ons koloniaal en slavernij verleden, we een republiek waren en geen Koninkrijk. Waarbij de Oranjes enkel de post van Stadhouder bekleedde en niet eens altijd. Feit is, dat de meeste slavenhandel gedreven werd door de rijke handelaren, mensen die niet van adel geweest waren. Ik vind het wel oprecht grappig, dat je schuld van een feit in een collectief verleden, bij één familie probeert neer te leggen. Een familie die niet een berokken was bij de VOC en enkel voor een korte tijd als koningen absoluut macht hadden. Namelijk enkel Koning Wilem I. Dan is er nog het ironische, dat zonder de familie en de acties van de vader des vaderlands en diens broer en kinderen, vele die hun leven gaven voor Nederland, er geen Nederland zou zijn. Hetzelfde kan gezegd worden over Stadhouder-Koning (hij was koning van Engeland en Schotland) Willem III. Belangrijk man tijdens de Hollandse oorlog. Voor iemand die de naam van een Frankisch koning (West-Francia modern Frankrijk) en afstammeling van Karel de Grote gebruikt als pseudoniem, heb je een beroerde kennis van geschiedenis. Bovendien als je had opgelet bij staatsinrichting, dan had je begrepen dat we ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid hebben sinds 1848. Dit gecombineerd met het feit, dat de koning formeel onderdeel is van de regering (de koning en zijn ministers) zou je tot de conclusie moeten hebben leiden, dat wanneer er excuses gemaakt worden namens de Nederlandse regering en de Nederlandse staat, dit dus ook de koning inhoudt.

  8518. 1. Als iemand die zijn roots in de Donbas heeft, wat een onzin. Ethnische Russen zijn in Donetsk en Luhansk de minderheid. Het conflict gaat ook niet over etniciteit, dat is een Russische obsessie. 2. Aangezien de meeste mensen in de Donbass pro Oekraïens zijn (grootste gedeelte Donbass kwam niet in opstand, aangezien de Donbass groter is dan het gebied gecontroleerd door de LNR en DNR) is dat ook onzin. 3. "Kunstmatige" staat Oekraïne (dat is hoe we de naam van het land schrijven in het Nederlands), buiten het feit, dat Oekraïne in 1917 voor het eerst opricht is onder die naam en de eerste cultureel Oekraïense staat uit de 17de eeuw is (Kozakkenhetmenaat), is elke staat Kunstmatig. Elke staat is namelijk door mensen bedacht. Ook Nederland is kunstmatig. Prigozhin is eerlijker dan de meeste Russen. Ik moet hem niet, maar hij geeft meer om zijn land dan de corrupte leiders aan de top. Wagner heeft zijn eigen tanks en vliegtuigen... weer iets wat je dus niet weet. Het percentage dat Putin steunt is niet belangrijk. Buiten het feit, dat polls in Rusland onbetrouwbaar zijn, kunnen situaties snel veranderen. Het feit, dat je de VS de schuld geeft, laat zien dat je niks weet van Rusland, laat staan van Oekraïne. Ik kom uit de Donbass maar ben absoluut geen Moskal. Донбас - це Україна! Донбасс это Украина! Слава Україні! Героям слава! Слава Украине! Героям слава! Vandaag is territorium heroverd, dat de Moskals al sinds 2014 bezetten

  8622.  @dimitrisgregan553  so first of the coup thing... nope it wasn't. It started as a peaceful protest by the Ukrainians against a corrupt, self serving government. Guess what, the people have the right to do that, perhaps not in your facist state, but in Europe it is. By using deathly violence against the protesters he made the situation for himself impossible. Yanukovich himself fled the country causing a constitutional crisis. He was replaced, soon after there were DEMOCRATIC elections, I know something you don't know in Russia. Poroshenko was elected as well as a new government. Azov, you idiot, didn't even exist at the time. Azov came into existence because Russia illegally invaded Crimea. The whole referendum was bullshit. In polls it was revealed that had their been an option to vote to stay within Ukraine, it would have gotten the majority. Not to mention armed men near the voting sides.. doesn't really encourage democratic voting. Then the separatist uprisings in Donetsk and Luhansk by a minority. In Kharkiv they also tried this, but they were defeated. Later they found out that the protesters didn't even come from Kharkiv. Due to the almost collapse of the Ukrainian state and army under sudden Russian aggression, the government had to rely on armed militias. And this is when Azov came into play. The Ukrainian far right movements don't even have a seat in the rada. Stop believing everything your führer tells you. Ukraine chose to leave the Russian world, characterised by corruption and poverty, and try to join the Western world. They have the right to do this. They have seen the result for Poland and the Baltic states joining the western world, not crazy they want this right? The whole reason they want to join NATO is the aggression of 2014... they were, and still are, a neutral state militarily since their independence. Luckily I do have Russian friends that use their own brain and see what is really happening instead of believing all that the old lunatic says.

  8623.  @dimitrisgregan553  first off Azov =/= UPA, so Bandera being linked to Azov is stupid. About the Germans, yes correct, but they weren't openly known to be Jewish. There are Nazi's in Ukraine yes, as there are in any country, including my own, including Russia. Sadly it's something that can never be fully eradicated. Part of Azov is neo nazi correct. And it's symbolism like the black sun and the wolfsangel are neo nazi, nobody except Ukrainians, will deny this. However not the whole battalion is neo nazi, they are nationalist yes. Nationalism has risen in Ukraine due to Russian aggression. This tends to happen in countries that are in conflict. Ukraine is as much nazi as say Sweden or Finland, aka not. Russia itself nowadays shows more facist traits than Ukraine. About Bandera, I am perfectly aware of him. He was a nazi collaborator, leader of the UPA. Who was of no importance to the Ukrainians. Until the USSR killed him and mishandled the whole situation. Suddenly Ukrainians saw Bandera has this great fighter for Ukrainian independence. Especially in Western Ukraine (seen this myself) he is considered a hero. This simply is myth forming. The Bandera the Ukrainians see as a hero, isn't not the historical figure Bandera. His myth has only grown because of USSR and Russian mishandling of this phenomenon. It has become a classic story of the hero of one country is the enemy of another. But as I said historical evidence has shown that Bandera was insignificant. A man who collaborated with the Germans and did mass killings himself. It has also shown that the Bandera the Ukrainians support is a pure result of mystification and myth forming. Essentially they are no longer the same person. He is just a symbol that represents Ukrainian independence as much as the Ukrainian trident is. By continuing to focus on this, the Russians make the (West-) Ukrainian believe in him even bigger. I base this few on the research of a historian specialized in Ukrainian political and social history. If you want I can search for his name, as I forgot, and the article he wrote about this subject. It is actually a interesting read. It showed me how dangerous myth forming is (the Russians have the same problem surrounding Stalin).

  8650.  @tonyatgoogle6076  I know that Iraq was about oil as well as removing Saddam so they fabricated a casus belli. Not unlike Russia has done now. I know Libya was about French oil interests actually. About Syria, that's one complicated mess, I wouldn't know enough about it to be completely honest. I do know the result in the form of Aleppo. I don't blindly follow any media, although there is more independent media in the west, which are often more reliable, they are obviously still biased. I am blessed with speaking multiple languages and therefore I am able to see multiple sources )) the Russian sources are a lot less reliable now due to independent media being shutdow. Any state media is biased. As anyone would also understand about BBC for example and even FreeEurope that is sponsored by the Americans. However, Russian state media is currently in a league of its own. I do have the luck to know alot of people in Ukraine, including my best friend, and also people in Russia. Some supporting and some against the war. What I saw is that with the people supporting the war there is this, well almost paranoia of the West. To the point it is unreasonable. You shouldn't forget either that the West =/= the USA. My country and yours have a history together. Your flag is even based on ours, as well as Peter the Great having lived her for a while. I can say from experience that Russia has been more obsessed with the West than the other way around. I can't speak about the Americans, but in my country Russia was hardly in the news and hardly ever discussed.

  8689.  @sopissedoff  mate stop pushing your anti EU message that is what I am trying to tell you! As you are preaching division. Your entire statement of Ukraine not being were it is without the United Kingdom for example. Ukraine is were it is because of Ukraine. Without their heroic efforts, there would have been no point in supporting them. Has the UK helped alot? Obviously and the Ukrainians love the UK for it. But lets be honest, all credit for this amazing job they are doing is for the Ukrainians themselves. We are in this together mate. That is what I am trying to keep saying to you. Keep the anti EU crap out of this. Let's discuss that again AFTER the war. To say the EU hasn't contributed, that isn't right either. And about the oil, yeah thank Hungary for example. And the reason they put up the EU flag. Which is what I am trying to explain to you each time, is not because of the EU in of itself. I myself think the EU should be reformed and that it is flawed. However for us on the continent the situation is different than for you on the island. I personally am very glad that my country isn't at risk of ending up a battlefield once more in a Franco-German conflict and that instead they work together. The EU flag for such Ukrainians just stands for becoming part of Europe, of the West. Alot of Ukrainians that I know, they have this idealic idea of Europe and the West overal. Do the point I often have to tell them that things aren't perfect either. So I try to say it once more , keep the brexit stuff to brexit related stuff mate. Don't bring it into the Ukrainian stuff. Because whether you like it or not, the EU is also your ally in this. Truth is, that I have seen more EU flags in Ukraine during my time there, than in my own country, which is an EU member. That is why I say the flag means something else to them, than to us. I personally don't feel pride at that flag, but it has meaning to atleast some Ukrainians. A contrast to the русский мир I guess. A hope for a better life I guess. If the EU flag is the right one for that, that's a different question. But again now is not the time to speak about what divides us, but instead what unites us. That said. Слава Україні!

  8779.  @nikolasvenetidis9608  "they can back pay NATO for the 60+ years they claimed neutrality", yeah sure let's punish countries for having wanted to stay neutral in the cold war, seems fair. Do you also know why Finland was neutral during those times? I'd advise you to open a history book and maybe you should look up the term "Finlandization" as well. Finland and Sweden in my opinion are welcome in the alliance. A alliance created by the Americans btw )) About it being not the US's problem, well actually it is. The current situation in Ukraine is the direct result of the geopolitical "game" that the US and Russia are playing with Ukraine caught in the middle. Then again during the USSR, both powers also fought each other in other counties and continents and never directly. So next time the US decides to go bomb or invade some Middle Eastern or North African country we can also say "well this is not our problem?". It's called being allies and it works both ways, considering the US has dragged us into so many bs situations. This combined with the fact that, luckily, US policy makers can actually think further ahead than you. Any idea what the result for the US would be in Europe would be dominated by the Russians? Exactly. The way you think once dominated European and American minds during the interwar years "why die for Danzig (Gdansk)?". This passive way of thinking has cost millions of lives. About "most liberal Europeans slamming the US" learn to be able to accept criticism mate. People criticize my country too and often they do have a point. You can actually learn from it or you just ignore it. It's that simple. Europe and the US have been friends for such a long time, friends do criticise each other too. I mean the constant shootings for example, it is a problem is it not? Ofcourse people will talk about it for example or the US's foreign wars. At the same point my country should finally spend the 2% of gdp which is agreed to for its military. When the US complains about it, people here say well yeah they're actually right. I hope that with your friends you are actually capable of taking criticism, it makes people and nations grow.

  8781.  @thedeepAlcove  about the not expanding eastward thing, which shows me that you are actually Russian as it is one of its main propaganda points, well there is no l proof of it. No written treaty or commitment. So if it is true, it was naive of Gorbachev and scummy of the West. But we don't know as everyone can say anything without proof. Then there is the matter of the state that would have made this agreement (if it actually happened) not existing anymore. The very argument Russia likes to make itself (we made this agreement with another government and don't recognize the current one). About Russia wanting to join NATO, that is correct. But Russia, just like any other state, has to meet the requirements. It didn't. Russia just expected to be invited, instead of having to apply themselves and get through the application process. As in typical display of Russian arrogance and their misplaced sense of superiority, they considered themselves to be above the other nations and didn't want to wait in line. Not to mention the fact that what they wanted was a European security system without the US, aka Russia wanted to replace the US. As a European descended from people living under the domination of the Russians/Soviets and myself growing up in the West, I prefer having the US as the leader of NATO as they have a record of leaving you alone whilst part of their alliance whilst we have the Soviet example of how they threated their former Warsaw pact allies when those tried to reform. Even now Russia intervenes in other CSTO member states, eventhough this was with the invitation of the Kazakh government, this is not okay. I am glad I can protest against my government without the fear of US troops coming to kill me.

  9146.  @GENleecossie  je punt over Amerika is echt zo dom. Als Rusland een probleem heeft met de VS, kan het de VS aanvallen. De landen hebben een maritieme grens met elkaar. Of het valt een Baltisch land aan. Wat jij zegt heeft letterlijk niks met Oekraïne te maken, dat probeert eindelijk zijn eigen pad te kiezen. Waar het alle recht toe heeft. Sorry voor je, dat je moet wachten op een afspraak bij de longarts. Daar heeft de oorlog echter niks mee te maken. Dat probleem is er al jaren. Wees blij, dat jij niet elke nacht met slapen, bang hoeft te zijn, dat er een raket je huis in vliegt. Relativeer je situatie een beetje. Het lijkt alsof je jaloers bent op Oekraïne en de Oekraïeners, terwijl je thuis zit in alle veiligheid. Terwijl bijvoorbeeld mijn beste vriendin een kind probeert op te voeden in een oorlogssituatie. Iets waar zij ook niet om gevraagd hebben aangezien het normale mensen zijn zoals jij en ik. Ik snap je frustratie, maar soms moet je ook klaar staan voor andere als het jou niet direct wat oplevert. Persoonlijk ben ik blij, dat de andere geallieerde niet hetzelfde dachten als jij nu doet tijdens ww2. Anyway je uit je frustratie op een volk van mensen als jij en ik, die een normaal leven willen opbouwen. De oorlog is een politiek machtspel tussen grootmachten ten koste van Oekraïne. Oekraïne dat zelf zijn eigen beslissingen mag maken, zonder inmenging van Rusland. Zoveel dode jongen mensen om de ambities en grootheidswaanzin van een oude man die zelf een lang leven geleid heeft. Zoveel vernietigde levens door iemand met een Napoleon complex.

  9187.  @cedricsurveynen638  als iemand die daadwerkelijk familie in de Donbass heeft er gewoond heeft voor studies, wat een bs. Het getal 14.000 is het totaal aantal doden, zowel militair als civiel, aan beide kanten. Waarbij benoemd moet worden, dat in 2021 het dodental 7 was als gevolg van bombardementen over en weer. Verder is niet iedereen in de Donbass ethnisch Russisch, sterker nog de etnische Russen zijn een minderheid, met 60% van de inwoners die Etnisch Oekraïens zijn. Russisch sprekend (net zoals ik) maar geen Rus. Ook is het onmogelijk om specifiek etnische Russen aan te vallen, gezien het feit, dat het met name zelfindenticatie betreft. De families daar zijn zo gemengd namelijk. Dan is er ook nog het feit, dat je geen verschil hoort tussen een ethnisch Oekraïener die Russisch spreekt en een etnische Rus die uit hetzelfde dorp/stad komen. Maar ik moet toegeven, dat je de Russen goed kan na papagaaien. Aangezien je zoveel denkt te weten van de regio, dan weet je vast ook over de miljoenen pro Oekraïense mensen die de Donbass moesten ontvluchten door de Russische interventie in 2014. Duizenden vrouwen verkracht is een leugen. Er zijn helaas verkrachtingen over en weer geweest (Azov aan Oekraïense kant en Somalia en Sparta aan Russische kant hebben oorlogsmisdaden gepleegt). Zelfs Girkin heeft aangegeven, dat zonder Russische inmenging, deze insurrectie al gestopt was. Daarmee dus Duizenden (en nu sinds 2022 honderdduizenden) levens gered hadden kunnen worden. Opnieuw, je bent een goede papagaai, maar duidelijk nog nooit zelf in UA geweest en al helemaal niet de Donbass.

  9237.  @Dizle81  ik zei al, heb je telegram? Daar kan ik je de kanalen sturen lol. In het geval van een pro Russische president? Als iemand met Oekraïnse vrienden en familie daar mijn roots daar is het lastig om daar rustig op te reageren, omdat het oprecht onwetenheid is. Yanukovich was een Lukachenko maar dan in Oekraïne en het is goed dat hij weg is. De Donbass erkennen als Russisch? Ja toch fijn, dat mijn familie, die in de Donbass wonen maar toch echt bij Oekraïne willen horen (net zoals de meerderheid btw) dan verplicht Russisch moeten worden? Fijn. Over de Krim? Ja tuurlijk laten we invasies als goed erkennen. Ging zo lekker de laatste keer met het Sudetenland. Misschien moeten we anders de Russen, Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe geven voor vrede? Je hebt geen idee van de daadwerkelijke situatie daar. Over, dat Oekraïne neutraal moest zijn, Ja dat waren ze tot 2014 door het Boedapest Memorandum van 1994. Maar notabene een van de landen die garantie stonden voor Oekraïense soevereiniteit, viel het binnen. De meerderheid van de Oekraïeners wilde van Yanukovich af in 2014 doordat bleek, dat alles in zijn verkiezingscampagne leugens waren (deze man was al eerder veroordeeld voor verkiezingsfraude btw). Vervolgens sloot hij politieke tegenstanders op en toen er protesten kwamen besloot hij dat er op hen geschoten moet worden. Als je echt iets van de Russische-Oekraïense geschiedenis wilt weten vertel ik je er graag over, maar verspreid geen Russische propaganda alsof het de waarheid is. Als Rusland, Oekraïne met rustgelaten had in 2014 en nu, dan zou het land een stuk beter af zijn geweest dan daarvoor. Want zelfs met de oorlog bestrijdt het corruptie. Rusland kan het echter niet veroorloven om een democratisch Oekraïne naast zich te hebben. Laat staan eentje die zijn eigen toekomst wilt kiezen, want alleen de Russen mogen bepalen hoe en wat toch? Laten we de Russen maar ook bepalen wat Nederland doet dan. Alles wat Oekraïne "fout" deed, is ze eigen weg willen volgen en het pad van de democratie willen opgaan.

  9432.  @yellowtunes2756  if my family and I were speaking German (better example because it is our larger neighbor) because this part of the country had been germanized for a long time and they would tell my children that they would need to learn Dutch at school, because we are part of the Netherlands, I would understand. I would ask for the possibility to be able to speak German at home and in public. But would understand them needing to speak the national language on school and administration. Kinda like how it is in every other country including Russia. Their children can speak Russian, most of my friends speak Russian and teach it to their children. The fact they need to speak Ukrainian at school or when going to government institutions doesn't mean they can't speak Russian in their free time and with their family. You can still teach your child Russian, you are exaggerating the problem. I could switch the story for you as well, so you can also see the Ukrainian point of view. As this story has two sides and not just the one you have. Imagine if Ukraine would occupy Kuban for a few hundred years now. Ukrainenized the region and because of it the people now speak mostly Ukrainian, having completely banned the use of Russian and it's culture within the territory (which Russia did yeah during the Russian Empire to Ukraine, the Ukrainian language was forbidden within Ukraine itself imagine that). Then finally Kuban returns to Russia, wouldn't you want this region to speak Russian again? Because it used too? So wouldn't you also reintroduce Russian school etc? To me it sounds that many Russians and Russian speaking people often consider the Ukrainian language inferior (the same that happend here with French. Dutch was inferior the nobility spoke French). I don't deny there are nazi elements in Ukraine, they are not "glorified" though. That would be the same as me now saying that you are a supporter of a mass murderer for idolising Lenin because he is responsible for 5 million deaths. Let alone Stalin. Then there is Alexander Dugin, someone I would consider a facist, who directly inspires Putin. So yeah when you're country is saintly in this regards, start to criticise others. Btw the whole we need to protect Russian speakers or ethnic Russians... I hope you are aware how similar this sounds to the reason for the anshluss and the claim on the Sudentenland as well as that it was a casus belli for the German invasion into Poland... so yeah I don't agree with doing that mate. It's an excuse of an aggressor state to justify its irredentism.

  9433.  @yellowtunes2756  the use of the swastika is illegal here too. About Donbass, tragic. Casualty of the great power game between US and Russia. Arming different sides of the conflict like they always do. About Crimea, childish move but a reaction on a territory being illegally annexed. I am all for the right of self determination but to a certain degree. It must follow law. Referendums should be achieved politically not militarily. I feel sorry for those killed in Donbass too. Sadly most believe either one side completely or the other getting these ridiculous situations. About regional languages, we have those too including Frisian. They can speak it and learn it at school. But Dutch is used for inter regional communication and is simply more important. Russian is this in Russia and Ukrainian in Ukraine. Should it be a special status language, no. It should get protected status though like they also give European minority languages. However calling it a ban is an exaggeration. The West of Ukraine was Polish yeah but when you speak about the difference between western and eastern Ukraine this difference is more due to the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary. Within Austria-Hungary, Ukrainian was recognized as a regional language and flourished. Whilst it had always been oppressed in Poland-Lithuania (and interwar Poland) and the Russian Empire. USSR allowed Ukrainian again under Lenin, but under Stalin it returned to Russification policies. The war, which has been raging since 2014, is the case of a minor power again being the victim of great powers who don't care about international law and do as they please but lecture us minor powers about international law when we don't agree with them.

  9460. @ricardoblikman2676  "Although Soviet accounts have routinely belittled the significance of Lend-Lease in the sustainment of the Soviet war effort, the overall importance of the assistance cannot be understated. Lend-Lease aid did not arrive in sufficient quantities to make the difference between defeat and victory in 1941–1942; that achievement must be attributed solely to the Soviet people and to the iron nerve of Stalin, Zhukov, Shaposhnikov, Vasilevsky, and their subordinates. As the war continued, however, the United States and Great Britain provided many of the implements of war and strategic raw materials necessary for Soviet victory. Without Lend-Lease food, clothing, and raw materials (especially metals), the Soviet economy would have been even more heavily burdened by the war effort. Perhaps most directly, without Lend-Lease trucks, rail engines, and railroad cars, every Soviet offensive would have stalled at an earlier stage, outrunning its logistical tail in a matter of days. In turn, this would have allowed the German commanders to escape at least some encirclements, while forcing the Red Army to prepare and conduct many more deliberate penetration attacks in order to advance the same distance. Left to their own devices, Stalin and his commanders might have taken twelve to eighteen months longer to finish off the Wehrmacht; the ultimate result would probably have been the same, except that Soviet soldiers could have waded at France's Atlantic beaches." - David Glantz (Amerikaans militair historicus).

  9507. @Данила Милицын  the fact you use whataboutism orc, shows precisely the point. Poiting to the mistakes of others doesn't justify your own actions. I am against the intervention in Serbia, so that isn't going to work on me. About the Falkland war, we shouldn't forget that the Argentines attacked the UK and not the other way around. Whilst I don't support the mistreatment of people, the Argentines are hardly the victims in that situation. You are a hypocrite, because you apparently understand doing those things is bad, but you are okay with Russia doing it. When you have to point to the wrongdoings of other countries to try to justify your actions, you have a weak argument. Every country has done horrible things, so if we use your reasoning we can all keep killing each other. In your logic it is okay for me to kill people because someone else has done so before. Your way of reasoning is that of a small child. Besides the fact that after Bucha, Izium etc, you're the last one to speak about such things. Even right now the orc army bombs Kherson every day. A city that according to the laws of your country, is Russian and thus according to your own twisted logic, the people living their are "Russians". Also, Danila, the way you try to talk to me is full of arrogance. Let me be the one to say this to you, Russians aren't some special people. Nobody is. I know more about your actual history, not the myths führer Putin tells you, than you ever will. As I am specialized in Russian and Ukrainian history. If we play the what about game, I could keep naming Russian atrocities. Including the Holodomor and the Circasian genocide. Your country is just as imperialist as the European countries used to be centuries ago. But I will repeat. Russians and Russia aren't special. You're equal to the rest of us. Nothing more.

  9674.  @kitdikiy  easy examples: the complete erosion of the right of demonstration or freedom of speech. The complete destruction of any opposition. The use of the letter "Z" in a way very similar to the German Swastika. The extremely nationalistic rhetoric, which resembles the speeches given by Hitler. The aggression towards its neighbours. The "snitching" culture resurging in Russia. In which people snitch on each other for being against the war. The massive amounts of propaganda and historical revisionism that is taught to the children. Which are essentially indoctrinated. The lack of value of human life in Russia. The revanchism and irredentism in Russia. I could continue doing this. There are so many examples. With not the least the rally in the Moscow stadium which reminded me, as a student of history, of the Nuremberg rallies. About the Russian economy. No it is not important to the world. It is a complete natural resources economy. The problem with this, is that others can fill that place. The problems we see now is due to over reliance on one source. We will move to sustainable energy and other sources, including your former ally Kazakhstan. Russia is stuck in the past and must accept that it no longer is a great power. Just like how many European powers had to realize this. Result is that we moved forward and accepted the situation. We have become better for it. About the food, that is Africa idiot lol. We don't import that much Russian food About Russia being isolated, it is isolated from the Western world. Which was the goal and which I completely support. Why be in contact with a nation that constantly threatens and lies to you. Isolating from common sense... you are the one defending a war against a brotherly people. Not I ))

  9676.  @kitdikiy  lol LGBT propaganda....how messed up are you. I am also raised with traditional family values. But we live in the 21st century mate. I don't support the LGBT community, but don't hate them either. It's called live and let live. This once more shows your ignorance and the fact you generalise an entire contintent and more. Russia isn't rising mate. It's doing the age old thing of creating and external enemy to hide internal difficulties. You are falling for it. Your whole post is full of indoctrination mate. You are the example why nazis supported Hitler.... I feel sorry for you. Not to offend you, but until Crimea, nobody in the west cared one bit about Russia. It was just another country. However Russia always have this misplaced arrogance of needing to be a great power, and here we are. The example you give about freedom of speech was an American. I don't really care about that. The list of examples of what Russia has done in this regards is a lot longer. But that is exactly the point, you react on something I say with a counter accusation. That says that you know what your country does is wrong, but try to make it right in your mind, by saying others did it too. Two wrongs don't make a right. We can have different opinions, that is the western way of thinking. You can be against LGBTQ and not support it. But let the people be. The difference is that I do think progressive about women, I am not more just because I was born a man, and I think that we should live and let others live. Whilst your government is imposing its views onto others. I sincerely hope that one day you will see that you were fooled and indoctrinated by your own government. Russian people are lovely people just misinformed and massively used by their governments. It's sad you never had real freedom. You are being taught to hate, like the nazis were. You even talk like them. I hope one day the Russian people will be freed from this and see the truth. Just like the Germans did. In the end the arrogance, aggression and the world you are creating now, in which international law means nothing, will backfire on your country. As it did the Nazis. They too spoke about the rise of Germany and that they didn't own the west anything. Just want to remind you.. I think Hitler would be proud of you.

  9677.  @kitdikiy  you are a walking propaganda parrot mate. I honestly feel sorry for you. You lack basic historical knowledge seems limited. The Western influence is what I'd the reason modern Russia exists in the first place. Peter I "the Great" of Russia, besides a conqueror, was also a wise man. He knew he needed to modernise Russia and look to the west. The first Russian navy was build in the Netherlands and needing a flag for his navy he picked a modified version of the Dutch flag. Which is now the Russian flag. He also modeled his capital Saint Petersburg after European cities including Amsterdam. You blame the west for everything as you always have. I have many Russian friends but a large flaw is that they always blame others and never take responsibility for their own actions. The Nazism argument about Ukraine shows that you are detached from reality. Have you been to Ukraine? I have, and there is not anymore Nazism in Ukraine than anywhere else. I doubt you even really know what nazism is and instead have this twisted version of it in your head that has been taught to you. A Nazi state wouldn't democratically elect multiple successive governments into power. A facist and Nazi state would have a single leader ruling with almost absolute power for a long period of power... like Russia.... the irony of Russia calling Ukraine nazi is funny to me. They have a problem with nationalism yes. Azov started as Nazi yeah, with the wolfsangel and black sun as part of their insignia (doubt you know what they are) but became a nationalist battalion. Every army has nazis. Yours too. You even want to call Putin "leader" because president is to western. You are aware that Hitler's title "führer" also means leader right? Also the victory in ww2 was a combined allied effort. It's truly a Russian thing to try to appropriate this victory for themselves. Ofcourse without the 14 million Russians and 8 million Ukrainians that died in the war (that means more death per capita for Ukraine than Russia btw) we wouldn't have won the war. But neither would the USSR without US lend lease and the UK holding on and with it tying up alot of German soldiers. Again that was a combined effort. But considering you state of mind, I am not surprised that you try to appropriate this victory. It's the Russian thing to do. What is happening in Russia now is nothing less than the "Gleichschaltung" in Nazi Germany in 1933-1937. I advise you to read about it. Although I think you're to blind to see it, you might actually see the point that I am trying to make. I wouldn't be surprised if soon we see the complete elimination of anything that remotely opposes your führer. As someone descended from a resistance fighter in a country actually occupied by the nazis, having heard the stories, it is Russia that reminds those that survived the war of Nazi Germany, not Ukraine.

  9823.  @arnoldsaunders7885  have you ever been to Eastern Europe? Ever been to Ukraine, to Donbass? I have. Don't start talking about Czechoslovakia as I am a half Czech. I know more about the history of the slavic peoples and eastern Europe than you will ever know. You twist and turn history. The Czechoslovak land was Carpethenian Ruthenia, funnily enough the "Hungarian" land you claim was transferred is exactly the same land. In Czechoslovak times it was an autonomous region within the state because the majority of the people were Ruthenians, aka Ukrainians. When Czechoslovakia was split by the Germans, the region declared itself the Republic of Carpathian Ukraine before being invaded by the Hungarians. The Romanian land of Bucovina and Besserabia was annexed by the USSR from Romania. Ukraine as a nation had nothing to do with this. Southern Besserabia and Bucovina became part of Ukraine whilst the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic was created from the remainder of Besserabia + the Moldovan ASSR (Tranistria, which was part of the Ukrainian SSR) in regards to Crimea, yes it was transferred by Kruchev to Ukraine, just before regions of the Ukrainian SR were transferred to the Russian FSR. Kinda a Soviet practice. Donbass has always been a part of the Ukrainian SSR. The regions of formery eastern Poland were once again annexed by the USSR, the majority Ukrainian regions (eastern Galicia) were added to the Ukrainian SSR, whilst the majority Belarusian regions were added to the Belarusian SSR and the Wilno/Vilnius region to the Lithuanian SSR. The Polish people were moved by the USSR to nowadays western Poland. The Czechs remember the prague spring too btw. Apparently the Czechs were facists too? Again you twist and turn history to suite your own needs. You tell half truths or keep out half the story. If we were to give the Crimeans to their native population, it would be the Crimean Tartars, displaced by the Russians btw, and guess what? They want to be part of Ukraine. The Russians living in Donbass and Crimea are colonists, moved there by the Russian Empire and USSR a remnant of colonialism. Donbass is a Ukrainian region and Crimea a Crimean tatar region. That said obviously the Russians there can live there but historical claims are bs overall, as it would mean Germany could claim alot of land, and as we can see with you, history is often twisted to suit ones need. These regions are as integral part of Ukraine as Kent is part of the UK. About the coup... don't even start, a corrupt politician was ousted by it's people. They have that right. He was self serving, they wanted to choose their own future. That's their right, just like the UK did with Brexit. It wasn't a coup. They want to be more European, I know this because I actually have Ukrainian friends and family and my sources aren't just Kremlin lies and propaganda. And yeah the other part of the country didn't like this, had you known Ukrainian history, you know the country had always been divided between pro European and pro Russian. That is until 2014, with Crimea and Donbass, and now in 2022, country is more United than ever. I guess they should thank Putin for that atleast.

  9837.  @Orwellian-Purple-Grapes-1984  ah ja die vrouw organiseerde, dat. Omvolking is echt, en welke andere complottheorieën kom je nog mee? De 2014 revolutie van waardigheid is overigens geen coup. Aangezien het begon als vreedzame protesten tegen het authoritarianisme van Yanukovich. Iets wat een volk mag doen. Ze wilde niet het pad volgen van Rusland en Belarus. Ik betwijfel, echter of je de politieke situatie van voor 2014 kent, aangezien je vooral een kremlinpapagaai lijkt te zijn. Yanukovich was verkozen op de beloften de banden met de EU te versterken. In plaats daarvan sloot hij zijn politieke tegenstanders op en nam hij geld aan van Rusland (corruptie dus). Hij was al eerder veroordeeld voor verkiezingsfraude btw )). Door zijn handelen tegen de demonstranten, werd de demonstratie geweldadig. Oekraïeners zijn immers geen "p*ssies" zoals de Russen. Yanukovich vlucht zelf, hij werd pas uit zijn functie ontheven, toen hij zijn ambt niet meer kon uitvoeren door in Rusland te gaan zitten. De interim regering die daarna kwam, heeft maar een aantal maanden geregeerd, voordat algemene verkiezingen Poroshenko aan de macht bracht. Hij heeft 4 jaar geregeerd en in de nieuwe verkiezingen werd Zelensky president. Om het in perspectief te zetten, in dezelfde periode hebben de sepratisten 0x een regering democratisch verkozen. Ze worden nu zelfs ondemocratisch vervangen door Russen. De coups vonden plaats in het Oosten. Oekraïnse soevereiniteit houdt ook in, dat het volk een autoritair leider mag afzetten. Ook wij hebben het recht dit te doen, wanneer een regeringsleider handelt in strijd met de grondwet.
