  8. Russia attacked Ukraine because Ukraine wanted to join NATO, and Russia believes that NATO poses a danger to it. Russia has the right to consider NATO a threat and to be concerned about this threat - the same Americans in 1962, when the USSR placed missiles in Cuba, were also scared, so much so that sanctions are still being imposed against Cuba for no clear reason. And there was also a military operation of American troops in the Bay of Pigs. In 2003, America invaded Iraq because the Americans were afraid that Iraq might develop nuclear weapons. In 2000, the Americans deployed nuclear weapons in Poland and Romania. The German Foreign Minister assured Gorbachev in 1989 that there would be no expansion of NATO. And in 1997 and 2004 it happened. Ukraine and Georgia are certainly independent states. But you cannot ensure your own safety by sacrificing the safety of your neighbor. The USSR collapsed in 1991. And NATO existed in 2007 - 16 years after the collapse of the USSR. In 2007, Russia had not yet attacked Georgia. In 2007, Russia had not yet annexed Crimea or invaded Ukraine. So why did NATO exist in 2007? Why did the Americans place nuclear weapons in Poland? Russia would never have attacked Ukraine if Ukraine had not tried to join NATO. Ukrainian society has historically been located in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Austria, and therefore Ukrainians as a nation have grown freedom-loving. Ukrainian society has always, since the 19th century, been split into Westerners who wanted Ukraine's integration into Europe, and Slavophiles. In 2014, a liberal revolution took place in Ukraine, the pro-Russian government was overthrown, and liberals came to power who wanted Ukraine to join NATO. That's why the war started, because Russia considers NATO a threat to its borders. Russia had very good relations with Ukraine until 2014, and Russia would never have attacked Ukraine if it had not tried to join NATO. Ukrainian politicians are no less to blame than Putin

  11. Japanese soldiers had killed a lot of Russian civillians in China during the Russo-Japanese war. Soviet soldiers hadn't killed Japanese civillians in the WW2 - probably some amount of Japanese civillians died as a result of acccidential hits during the shooting. But who killed Japanese civillians - this is Americans, who drooped 2 nukes on Japanese civil dustricts, populated by civillians.

  33. Russia at now don't have any Polish territories. Germans during the WW2 commited genocide of Slavic population on the territories of USSR. After Germany was defeated by USSR with enormous casualities, USSR had all rights to capture this German territories. Kaliningrad is Russian territory and Germany have no rights on Kaliningrad region.

  38.  @Chillerll  if NATO isn't threat, why this alliance was existing in 2007, and why they placed nukes in Poland? NATO probably wouldn't invade Russia, but they would use their strategicall location to supress and command Russia in questions of politics and economic deals. Russia would be in the trap like China in 19th century - British army controlled Chinese sea ports and controlled Chinese trade, resulting the collapse of China as empire and colonization of China by foreign powers in 19-20th centuries. Russia even before the war economically was placed in non-equal position - a lot of Russian productions are the property of foreigners, economically Russia is a cake, full of oil, gaz, food and resources. But this resources Russia is trading aboard for low prices. Russia is a World leader in wheat production, one of the leaders in oil and gaz exports. German production of meds is dependent on Russian resources. Russian export of chemicats are playing big role in the World computer production. Russia, after the collapse of USSR faced herself in the global economic system as a supplying colony of more developed countries. Just like India in 18-20th centuries - India was supplying the British Empire by all resources, while the country was poor. Russia faced herself in a familliar situation - Russian economy is dependent on foreigner imports and tech, productions are controlled by foreigners, Russia is exporting and poor country, that provides the developed World by all resources. And this war with Ukraine would isolate Russia from Western World. Putin wanted this sanctions, this is why he invaded Ukraine. Russia don't wants to repeat the history of Asian countries, that were colonized economically by non-equal deals without a shot
