Younger generation , mostly not. There are thousands of Youtube videos of ordinary Russians being interviewed about the war. Surprisingly , some hate the Ukrainians and wish them all dead. Others are on the Ukrainians side and wish Putin and his cronies were dead. There are also many fence sitters, who won't even answer questions that could get them in trouble, 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. And an enormous number of the immigrants the German immigrant racists refer to are actually funding their German state pensions right now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgMech Cowboy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The US is in Germany primarily as part of NATO... However, Russia did not leave Germany until after 1989ish and were still an occupying force. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Germany began to function as an independent state in 1949 and gained sovereignty (from Russia) in 1955 . It was an independent state the same way Hungary and Czechoslovakia were independent states. Or for that matter almost the entire east european/baltic bloc of nations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , 1989 was the year that the Berlin wall came down , Russia has left East Germany in 1955 , although the independent East German Government remained friends with USSR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at more comprehensible chunks fascist dictator Putin has taken Muscovy back at least 50 years and young people coming up there are going to have to live what that horror at least a generation or two.

It was the Soviet Union forces that defended East Germany from Allied invasion post 1955 Because it was the allies that behaved aggressively in postwar Germany? Does the Russian attempt to blockade West Berlin ring any bells? And you really believe the Russian troops were stationed there to defend East Germany from the west? Did Russian troops defend the Hungarians and the Czechs from the west, too? You think what the Russians did there might have some relevance to what they were doing in East Germany.? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts are always useful and there are so many links out on the internet if a poster can be bothered to look, instead of blundering about as several posters here do and get their unverified "facts" wrong as usual.
