I will tell you a story. It's about name calling, much like you did there.
My father is not ethnically russian, but spent his formative years in Stalin's Russia. I grew up with him, I have first hand experience how a mind corrupted by that sick culture works. He is a NICE man. Kind. Never violent.
Thade, hi. I don't question your history. The start of this whole conversation with you and Barbara was that I do not agree to put everybody in the same pot. Not all russians are bloodthirsty psychopaths. I guess most of the footsoldiers are victims too.
I just don't support ... Sippenhaft....
No soldier is a victim. They hold a weapon. They always have a choice. There may be very well victims among russians, but there are absolutely NONE among those who go to war and not among those who carry the imperialist mind rot. Those 3 questions will reveal them easily. Try them.
this is what you found offensive, now tell me where i say every single russian is evil, not once have you shown any interest or compassion for the babe and it's mother . were they killed for instance . i have no sympathy for you or your false compassion . https://bsky.app/profile/silverbirds.bsky.social/post/3leqv4tcu5227
But he believes that crimes committed to maintain the communist power were justified, needed even. That it was a tragedy USSR fell apart and it was a mistake to not kill a few more millions to keep it going. He believes killing is just fine to maintain power and called ME a fascist for disagreeing.
You did the same thing here - tossed out the universal slur of your time just because your attempts at whitewashing a sick diseased culture aren't working.
But, would I be? You?Navalny was. He is dead. My friends told me about oppression, about fear, their kids. I don'tblame them, and I don't blame the kid from Siberia who went to war for Putin and some Rubles , dreaming of feeding his family. Neither those poor canon food corean kids .Slava Ukraina.
I hear what you say in particular the North Korean boys and my heart breaks for them too, however there is no excuse for plundering and stealing baby carriages, what happened to the mother and babe who it belonged to???they were laughing !!!! It is decadent .
Barbara, I just don't put everybody in the same pot. You do. We certainly agree that terrible things were done by russian soldiers. One raped my aunt, in 1945 in Berlin. But I also have very nice russian friends who don't agree with Putin at all. Are they the heros we wish they would be? No
If you read my words , you would see that I consistently said that there are russians that are not servile cowards , not once did I say all russians were vile .
Ok, I respect, but that was not what came over to me reading your posts. You did say... some are not... true. Some. The rest are cowards or violent with no human compassion. Just.. some... are not . Like what? Two or three? And again, we do find the horrors unbearable, both of us.
