I understand your point of view, but surely you can see the irony of fleeing to the same country that helped to ruin your homeland in the first place?

@007GoldenLion ..I'm not saying I disagree but you're being vague. Are you suggesting that Russia is not a Western culture? If so, you'll need better reasons than that. Greece also doesn't use the same alphabet and has Orthodox values (obviously, it founded the church). I think it is semi-Western. It has produced works of literature, music, and philosophy mostly appreciated by Western scholars, not Eastern. And yes, if you haven't visited, I encourage you to. It's a beautiful country.

I think an important distinction can be made by saying, "Russia is a Western society, but it is not a part of the West" (i.e., it is primarily a European colonialist culture, influenced by Greek and Roman traditions, but it is not currently a fully modernized, globalized economy, relative to other Western societies)

@warwicklewis8735 No, he wasn't. His grand plan following WWII was to completely wipe the Slavic population from the face of the Earth. He wanted all of Eastern Europe (the Slavic homeland) to be a giant breadbasket for the German people, as well as Lebensraum. He was only an "indigenous land rights activist" when it suited him and his delusions. His only desire was to impose his personal racial views on the world. There is no grand secret; he was just a racist, and that is what made him evil. Sorry. Rethink your position; at the moment you're incredibly wrong.

I feel like the Maori as a people group could be in a much better situation if they had taken the Japanese approach to allowing foreigners in..

@alangervasis Keep almost everyone out, at any cost, until you've adopted their technology and can negotiate with foreigners on equal terms

@verandi3882 It is very sad that the Egyptian culture did not last into the 21st century, the oldest civilization in the world, destroyed after almost 5,000 years..
