Ok, unpopular take here:
Based Russia, we should all be doing this - and extend it to all the junk we import from China that we have to replace every year instead of only buying once, flooding them with money and sending local production out of business.
Just because Russia is a terrorist state that doesn’t deserve their sovereignty and should receive the 1945 axis treatment, it doesn’t mean that they can’t do one right thing once in a blue moon. This is it.
What an enlightening read, I enjoyed it through and through.
I am a bit confused though, as my car is electric and fucking my charging port somehow doesn’t feel as safe.
Obviously it’s a Hitler quote, I thought we were roleplaying warmongering here. It’s also a loading screen quote from HOI4, I thought it would be in theme. Apparently not, only the Swiss guy can LARP 😔
You mean temporarily occupied Kralovec
Switzerland is but a pimple in the face of Europe. It possesses the most disgusting and miserable people and political system. The Swiss are the mortal enemies of the new Germany.

Well written. Spasiba.
I understand your feeling man. But if I may: don’t identify with the Russians, rather, learn from them.
When you are feeling discouraged, look at them. They are showing us what happens when you give up. Let their failure to be decent humans be your warning. Stay politically involved.
I don’t understand, were you talking about me there?
I do not support this war in the slightest. Russia should not have started it, it was an idiotic mistake to start it and it is an astonishingly stupid mistake to continue it. If I could snap my fingers and let the war be over I would do it, I’d give a lung for the war to be over.
That does not mean I want Ukraine to fold. I want a just and durable peace, I want the peace that Ukrainians want. Unfortunately, the only way to achieve that is to keep fighting - so while I do not support the war, I support Ukraine’s resistance. As long as they will want to fight they will have my support - moral, political and economic.
And on this very rare occasion where history gives us a war with a clear aggressor and a clear victim, I have no sympathy for the aggressor and its personnel. May they all die.
Hope I made my position clearer, “chickenhawk”.
You are right, and that is part of the problem.
Yes, it’s not easy being a dissident in Russia and many chose the easy way out by leaving the country. No judgement there. But if you stayed and you kept quiet you are responsible for what is happening.
Let me be absolutely clear: Putin is allowed to be a dictator because people chose to be “uninterested in politics”. Those who chose to not get involved politically are not the result of the oppression but the cause. Ask anybody who knows anything about the Russian people.
And yes I know repression is hard. But as I was saying, when Ukrainians faced a similar problem they went to the street and rallied, staring at death in the face. They fought for freedom ten years ago and are still doing it. Russians did nothing of the sort.
As an Italian I have no problem admitting that all those who did not side with the partisans - my family included - were responsible for the atrocities that my country committed. I don’t see why I should hold Russians to a higher standard.
I’m so tired of hearing this, can we stop with the “poor Russians under the tsar” narrative?
When Ukrainians got pushed towards the russian empire by their aspiring dictator they did Euromaidan, they got shot at and bravely pushed on, and have been fighting for their freedom ever since. They get to complain about Putin, and they get my sympathy for their suffering.
Russians have completely given up their agency, a couple of arrests and beatdowns by the police were enough to pacify them. I don’t see any protests or rallies anymore, I don’t hear about any partisans. Those in favour of the war have no sympathy from me. Those who are against it but kept silent because they chose a 0.5% chance of getting shelled in Ukraine over a 100% chance of getting arrested have no sympathy from me either.
To the dead Russian who “didn’t want to be involved”: cry me a river, you had your chance to not be involved. You get what you chose. Good riddance.
They’ve been preparing for this for a while. Months ago already I remember reading accusations of the ICC being antisemitic by Israelis and various sympathisers. The old fiddle that never stops playing.
Yeah right 😔
