Hey Frederick Foresight, if not racism, then tell us how you classify it. What about discrimination? And why are the black people so often victims of racism in the US? Are they a seperate race? Who knew? Yes, English is indeed a tough language to master, isn’t it, Uncle Samo?!
well compared to the slaughters Europeans Did over last 2 centuries, Russians do not look too bad. They only slaughters their own mostly.
Was it any better in the US? I sometime ago had read somewhere that more than 95% (or was it even 99%?) of the natives (aka "First Nation") in the US have been "eradicated" by the US...
eradication happened well before US, small pox killed so many over early years of discovery that it pales all else. the point is that every country has violent past. The difference is that out of major civilized nations only USSR/Russia and US showed global scale aggression over last several decades. And this is very sad of course.
There's economic sanctions in place against Russia in many spheres, that tells you how likely it is they're being honest about not approving Sputnik.
The wolves and bears in Siberia are racist against humans in general. Gotta watch out for those racists. They're everywhere!
