There is no question that Russian history, culture and art is incredibly deep and incredibly rich, this is the land that has produced the Bolshoi and the Kirov, Nobokov, Stravinsky, Malevich, Popova, Kandinski, etc. 

 

But most of that is ancient history, these days they're producing munitions, they're creating warfare, they are sponsoring corruption, they're creating oligarchs out of thin air from state enterprises, they have a leader who's one of the richest men in the world from extortion and pure corruption, who also happens to be a serial killer, and they just do not seem to be contributing much in the way of positivity to the planet as a whole. If I'm wrong, if you are aware of some wonderful things that the Russian nation is doing for the planet, please let me know. I would love to hear about that. 

 

There are a multitude of reasons why very few around the world have sympathy for the Russians. Those reasons are not limited to their serial killing, despot, thieving multi billionaire dictator for life. It is more about their nature, their history as ruthless, homicidal Cossack warriors, and their total lack of manners, and class. Not to mention the dignity, class, decency, civility, and social skills decades of Leninism, Stalinism, and now Putinism has stripped them of. 

 

Some observations on why Russians seem to be so grumpy, annoying and unhappy:

 

In one series of studies with Helena Slobodskaya, a psychologist at Novosibirsk State University Research Institute of Physiology and Basic Medicine, we found that mothers in Russia, compared to American caregivers, reported that their infants and toddlers were more likely to demonstrate negative emotions, such as anger or frustration. The Russian mothers also reported that their young children exhibited lower levels of positive emotional expression, including smiling and laughter.

Thailand has invited them in freely and without limitations, and they are now paying the price for this kind of foolish rush for quantity over quality. 

 

I just spent 3 days in a very nice hotel in Karon, Phuket. Most of the hotels other guests were Russian and what I observed backs up all that you say above!

Oh really, Your Mr. P thinks he is still in the 1940s using his populace as cannon fodder.

 

What happened to his strolling into Kyiv..........🤔

 

Wasn't Biden's supplies was it that........?   😂

Getting rid of them all will be the problem once the Thais realise their mistake.

 

In my crystal ball I see the visa free entry being revoked, extensions for longer term visas being refused, then followed by loads of them staying illegally.

 

Time will tell if I am correct.

It was destroyed before that by the Czars. The average Russians have always had a tough life and it's made them what they are.

Of course, Russia has been an expansionist empire for centuries. Without communism there might be some sort of democracy and civil society though.

pretty sure they're doing just fine now...Ukraine need some men however, most are dying!

Quite clearly SOME are dying. Your statement that “most” are dying; ie 50% or more, is simply a falsehood.

 

so maybe correct your own statements before you correct those of others others and make yourself look stupid

I was in Tesco Lotus yesterday, and a Russian seemed to be complaining loudly that ONE apple that he had brought to the cash out till from the fruit and veg dept didn't have a price on it!  

Look at the way he's dressed! Haha! Yes, Russian Businessman aka common criminal. Deport them all!!

Yes,unfortunately, he won't have to deal with the loud, ignorant, rude types with no manners! He'll see the outstretched hands of the diplomats with the smiling faces! (If he's lucky!)

He's dressed no differently to thousands of other tourists here, which is why he would probably have gone unnnoticed had it not been for someone/his girlfriend reporting him to the police for assault  - "A woman scorned ......."!

Russian, Italian Restaurant................🤣

Mind you, with his firearms experience he will be welcomed with open arms back home.......

Restaurants are a favored method of laundering money. This guy obviously had money if you look at the toys they found. I bet a deeper dive will show him connected to all sorts of interesting activities. 

He owns a Italian restaurant as well certainly settling in setting up his own  business

Probably plenty more Russians like him being welcomed to Thailand 

And owning businesses good for employing local Thais 🤔

There is a difference between aggression and defense. 

This is how it often ends when foreigners mingle to much with the local ladies. Enjoy, have fun, but the last thing to do is to set up the lady in one's own house. Sooner or later, it's trouble even if you are not Russian or what so ever.

There is a reason why Russia is so large but not strong enough to have military bases all over the world. So that is why they need to bully their neighbours. A classic whataboutist argument but American imperialism doesn't make Russian imperialism any more acceptable.
