Enoon Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, IamNoone88 said: How history quickly forgets that the Russians were the allies of Britain and France in World war 1 under the Triple Entente fighting against Germany. They lost up to 2.5 million soldiers in that war, fighting with the allies. In world war two, the great allies of Britain, the US and the Soviet Union formed the Grande Alliance and that was the key to Victory. Without the Soviet Union, the allies would have lost and life would be different today. Roughly 8.6 million Russian soldiers died fighting for the allies in World War Two. They lost about 20 million people in total from all causes. A huge sacrifice. No one recalls the history because we are too busy with Tik tok or Facebook BS but we owe a lot of our freedoms to Russia - once strong allies. Nato has a short memory as well. Under the Minsk Agreement, after the break up of the Soviet Union, they were not meant to expand into Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. They did, breaking that treaty which Russia allowed to slide ..... but not without objection. Nato and Europe then, having taken an inch, wanted to take the full yard and pushed for Ukraine to join and that was always a red line for Russian .... yet they kept pushing. Putin warned and warned again ...... you don't poke the bear. If the Minsk Agreement was observed by Nato, then it may be a different outcome today than the sh1tfight we have now. The foolish and manipulating leaders in the West should take a leaf from Sun Tze .... keep your friends close and your "enemies" (once our greatest allies!) closer. So have some sympathy for the Russian's stuck here. They are just caught up in something they cannot control and certainly most I meet are good solid people (as are Ukrainians). It is is mess of epic proportion .... caused by politicians. Britain and Russia. 19th century. Britain and Russia start off as friends....because Napoleonic France threatens all the monarchies of Europe and that of Russia. Then Britain and Russia stop being friends..............because Britain feels that Russian expansion South and East threatens Britains empire. Britain becomes friends with the Ottoman Empire (anti Russian) and, together with France (friendly now) and Sardinia, defeats Russia in the Crimean War. Later on the Ottoman Empire starts to get friendly with the rising German Empire, so Britain makes up with Russia to counteract Germany who, it feels, is challenging it's pre-eminence. 20th century A big war takes place during which Britain plays a large part in defeating the Ottoman empire, Russia fights Germany for a while but then goes "commie", and signs a treaty with Germany, and Britain, together with various other countries, invades Russia in 1918. For the next 20 years Britain and Russia are no longer friends, especially when Russia helps Germany to re-arm and signs another treaty with Germany. Germany and Russia invade Poland in 1939.....half each.......that was the purpose of the treaty, to grab Poland without upsetting each other. Britain is now, technically, at war with Russia, due to a treaty that Britain has with Poland..........but seems to ignore it. In 1941, to Stalins utter astonishment, Germany invades Russia and forces it into a war for Russias survival. Britain and Russia become friends "for the duration". Russia survives and grabs half of Europe.......thus half of Europe finds itself under a dictatorship not far removed from the one it thought it was being saved from. Mid 20th to early 21st century Britain and Russia cease to be friends......then they think they are again.......then they're not. Sometimes Russia are the good guys......sometimes they're not. Right now they're not. Edited March 8, 2022 by Enoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Russian Government it's Russian people. You have a point there. If I was in the UK armed forces and they decided to invade some country, I would be forced to go along with it, but no way would I aim my gun at innocent people, I would shoot my bullets at empty spaces instead. What is there to stop the Russian people from doing the same? In these circumstances, no one can force you to shoot people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silencer Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Of course it's not ALL Russians that are to blame for the war, just as not ALL American's (or any country) are to blame for their government's decisions. However, they are 'generally' to blame for allowing Putin to keep power and expand his authorities and control over the years in lieu of an increased standard of living (mostly from oil/gas profits). We can debate democracy vs authoritarian systems endlessly but the real difference is in a true democracy the citizens can change those in leadership if they don't like what they are doing. Russians say they can, but that is not really the case, and many Russians support Putin anyway. We forget that many former Soviet states, and many states across the globe, had to violently overthrow their government to achieve democracy. Russians did it with the Czars but not with the current authoritarian system that replaced it. So, I don't blame the 'average Russian tourist' for the current situation but they share some responsibility for letting Putin be the person he has become. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fdsa Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) no one is right, everyone is wrong. 1) russians will not "remove" Putin because the ones who are against him are massively outnumbered by those who are either zombified by the propaganda and thus support Putin, or are afraid to protest because of Putin's personal army "natsgvardiya" (the folks who are both zombified by the propaganda plus they get 5x average wage so they do not want people to "remove" Putin because they will lose their huge wages). Biden & friends seem to not understand that. So the sanctions imposed against average people will not make them "remove" Putin. They have to impose sanctions against russian people of power such as oligarchs and businessmen if they want to succeed. 2) Also Biden & friends do not understand why there is such a heavy support of Putin. It is quite simple: a massive amount of russians have never been abroad, 70% of russians do not have a passport at all. So they've never seen a life outside Russia and do not know what a life with a normal government looks like. So they believe the television and internet propaganda, that Europe is bad and Russia is strong, etc, because they've never seen how things really look like. Those who travel are usually less prone to propaganda's influence and usually become less loyal to Putin. Many russian people who can speak English and/or work remotely have fled Russia since the Crimean incident in 2014 (thus leaving even less opposition inside Russia). And they are those "good russians" you've met and wrote about above. Edited March 8, 2022 by fdsa 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand should try to help with some temporary lodging and food as a humanitarian action but Russia should also reimburse that. There are consequences to your citizens when your leaders invade sovereign countries, even if the citizens have no control over these leaders. How many stranded Russians are in Thailand now? Do they even want to return to Russia? It is not Thailand's responsibility to house and feed them indefinitely. What's YOUR trick to buy food and pay for accommodation without money in your wallet ?

So, I don't blame the 'average Russian tourist' for the current situation but they share some responsibility for letting Putin be the person he has become. I tend to agree with that last statement. But we should emphasize "some", let's not forget the massive propaganda Russians have been inundated with for so many decades. For many, even with the apparent opening of Russia to the outside world in the last 30 years or so, the state of mind has probably stayed with the view that "Mother Russia" should rightfully be placed above the rest of humanity and if that is not the case, it is because there are so many "unfriendly" countries out there. Is that not reminiscent of what happened in Germany between the 2 world wars? Yes, Germans shared "some responsibility" for what happened then, but not every single German was to blame. Completely brained washed people : can they be blamed? The list of "unfriendly countries" that was published today even includes Liechtenstein and San Marino, for fxxx's sake! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
