I really hope this thread is filled with bots because otherwise you have really hit the bottom. The thread is filled with racism and bigotry, and it's allowed only because it's against russians...
Maybe you can provide an example?
Imagine a thread filled with people insulting brazilians
No examples then. Cool.
Explain
Now do this with Israelis.
The whole Grad is seething I'm loving it.
russian economy after over 1k days of war is evaporized and putin now is Xis little dog. so if we all work together now nobody will remember a country called russia in 100 years. nations are just a phantasy and it wont hurt to let go of some.
The Russian economy after over 1k days of war ~~is evaporized~~ has evaporated and now Putin is Xi's little dog. ~~so~~ If we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just a ~~phantasy~~ fantasy, and it won't hurt to let go of some.
I think it's scary that the Russian Federation will probably "Balkanize" if Ukraine won't capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that's terrifying to consider.
Then again, they probably don't work very well given what we've seen about the performance of the so-called "2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth". But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.
I wonder what the secret baltic/polish/sauce is that they improved so fast after the fall of the wall?
Why are moldova/ukraine/belarus struggling.
As you mention, the balkans haven't experienced the same rate of improvement after the fall of the ottomans.
Honest answer, fear of Russia. Baltic states and Poland know first hand that given a chance Russia would gobble them up so they focused on getting into NATO and EU while Russia was still weak.
Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus stuck with CIS (Russian sphere of influence) and it hasn't paid off for them. Ukraine got what Baltic states and Poland feared (which is why they're one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine) and Moldova went "oh fuck, Russia can't be trusted" as they decided to go down the path of leaving the CIS and joining EU and NATO.
The countries who decided to embrace the west got a better deal than the ones who decided to stick with Russia.
well the fall of the udssr was a joy so i expect part 2 to be great aswell. from what i understand the russians also want to buy mcdonalds, iphone and porsche and not live gulag life. when hitler was dead all of a sudden my fellow germans werent into nazi shit much. once putin gets to eat bullets chances are good russians lose interest in killing their neighbours. stupid russians.
russians also want to buy mcdonalds, iphone and porsche and not live gulag life.
First and foremost, Russians do not want to kill Ukrainians. But that's like saying that people do not want to pay 40% of their income on rent and utilities. Nobody cares what people want
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
