Since 2006, the Holodomor has been recognized by Ukraine and 15 other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet government. Up to 7.5 million Ukranians were murdered. These people don't have to work in chinese or arabian restaurant as they are dead. Were they lucky or are we lucky? Are that the Russians you speak about? We should be happy that they exist?
The Soviet government was an equal opportunity offender... Stalin did a number on a whole lot of people. What is the point of going back in history and cherry-picking episodes like this? Unless you're implying that it's the fault of the Russian people, who are somehow fundamentally "less moral" and "more evil" than people from other cultures...
History repeats itself, that is the point. Watch the "trackrecords" of Lenin, Stalin and now **in. The average Russian is not evil, he is poor and afraid from mighty corrupt politicians. It is the top class, the billionaires who are evil. To become billionaire in Russia you have to be evil, and hope that you stay alive will others try to kill you and steal your business. Business that was first stolen from the Russian State when it collapsed in 1990. I did a lot of business in East Europe (including Russia, Ukraine and Crimea). Believe me they are "slightly" different from the average West European citizen. I saw many small but subtle ways how people were and still are terrorized. I will tell you a small real story just to proof how deep this Russian terror goes. In Simferopol (Crimea) there is a statue of a (dead) Ukrainian writer. People put every year flowers at this statue. Last time people were arrested and put in jail because they "did not follow the correct procedure". Today there are camera's installed all around the statue. Everybody who puts flowers now risk to have problems. That's how good live is in Russia. Repression, scare people... This kind of things are impossible in democratic countries. Why do you think that East European states don't want to go back to the "Russian dream"?
Ukranians destroyed SU.Brezhnev, Khrushchev, Gorbatchev...Holodomor was mainly due to disastrous management in Ukranian agriculture.Years later, Ukrain was the main food supplier for SU and other republics. Don`t even want to talk about Ukrain.Anywhere Ukranian is showing up expect disaster.They couldn`t even defend themselves.Two russian guys: one of which is an ex car washer, another an ex security guard from supermarket took over and control two ex Ukranian regions for years.
Well, I do remember the Russian occupation and it was pretty terrible in many ways. There's something about a foreign soldier with a rifle telling you where you can step that seems to infringe on your nationalistic feelings and makes you "biased". But hey, recession16 has no experience with Russia outside of being an avid news reader, he's clearly the smarter one here. Saudi Arabia has no power to dominate Europe, there's no fear about that. Maybe you meant Muslim nations in general, they have so much infighting that dominating Europe isn't a priority. Chinese are mostly welcome as are Americans since unlike the Russians, they won't be conquering, just profiting.
A certain section of Russians are exactly that. How else do you explain how they carry pictures of Stalin around proudly in the 21st century (!). There's also the intelligent part of Russia which is almost like a different species of human. They have nothing in common with the Russian-Olympic-suit-wearing, Mercedes-driving, gun-toting Putin lovers who I wouldn't even call human.
Saudi Arabia is the American colony.I meant German,France mainly where local people are getting hit, raped and robbed by muslim immigrants monkeys.Russia is also a colony to some extent, but once Putin decides to go on on his own, all sort of sanctions and ultimatums appear. If i were Putin i`d also pitching ultimatums too,to you guys.Either 50/50 or i`d close the borders and start the arm race again.But you want Russia as your vassal. Chinese dont conquer that`s true, yet, but they already have a 150 million army.How welcome is that?
