Personal reflections are great, but everything happens for a reason, yes Germany and Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, but not everything is that simple.

Republican, democrat… it doesn’t matter. SOMEWHERE there is someone who is spoon feeding ideas into people’s heads and purposely keeping them uneducated so as to better make them feel weak and indebted to whoever’s side they align to. Confirmation bias and groupthink to the highest order. And yes, I’m well aware that as an American, I may not be fully aware of exactly how bad it can ultimately get; that part of history is yet to be written. But just looking around and LISTENING to what the masses have to say is disheartening… and I know we aren’t alone in this regard. Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain… all have started to fall under this umbrella of “only I/we can save you”. I wish I had more exposure to the rest of the world, just to see how everyone else spouts their “true beliefs”, when obviously it’s just regurgitating what the politicians say 😔

My mothers home village was about the way when she left, it really was like I had a change to go back in time. And I did swim in Ladoka, too. Nostalgic trip.

Every time I hear about some war of expansionism by the Orcs in our recent history, from Georgia to Ukraine to God only knows where next, my mind always returns to the original great theft of a huge chunk of a peaceful country that got completely f***ed over by Fascism & was abandoned by the Western Allies for simply being unable to protect itself from either of its wretched enemies...in TWO subsequent wars between 1939-1945! So when the rest of the world experienced a single uninterrupted War, Finland really experienced THREE! And for all that, Stalin's unprovoked & bloodthirsty aggression towards the Finnish people was rewarded in the end; & this grave miscarriage of justice has been COMPLETELY ignored in the British & North American literature about the history of WWII. I am shocked that I hear no one pointing to Karelia as an example of what a frozen conflict in Ukraine is going to look like if we don't ensure their TOTAL victory over the evil 👹Orcs👹; never mind what the Georgians can look forward to if NATO doesn't destroy the RuZZian state by defeating it militarily so that it can collapse in on itself, AGAIN, like it did in 1991!

In short, I want to say that in the West (especially in the United States), there was no revolutionary stage of changing the system of government, I think it will be difficult to understand why the Russians are now choosing Putin out of two evils, because he is the only guarantor for the majority of Russians that Russia will now remain as it is, and it will only get worse

As a Hungarian, I completely understand this man. I was raised under "socialism," but the situation in Hungary today is far worse. Viktor Orbán is a close follower of Putin and employs similar tactics. Hungary risks becoming a mirror image of today's Russia: Orbán is undermining education and healthcare, controlling the media, and consolidating power. In 2010, he secured 50% of the vote and immediately began altering election laws, making it nearly impossible to defeat him if he wins 30% of the vote. Unlike a genuine political party, Orbán operates without a strong base; he possesses the authority to unilaterally change any regulation within a day due to his control of 2/3 of parliament. Imagine: a mere 30% of the vote translates to 67% parliamentary control. Orbán, like Putin, exhibits dictatorial tendencies and displays concerning body language, leading some to suspect mental health issues. This is a cautionary tale: never, ever grant a politician unchecked power, as the Hungarians did in 2010. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and anyone in such a position can become a monster. This political "virus" is spreading, infecting countries like the U.S. with Trump. Please, be mindful of your vote and choose wisely!

Viktor Orban has been in contact with the former Solntsevo criminal group since the 90s. Russia has a huge amount of criminal dirt on him, including child molestation.

You can say your Prime Minister is a member of a Russian international criminal group from which he will not leave even if he wants to.

@@lisette2060 " I actually admired Hungary until that deeply corrupt maniac came into power." - now there's 2 of us, and I'm from Hungary. Sadly, the conclusion of the past 14 years is that (most of) the people of Hungary need a daddy figure. If they see people arguing within one party, they immediately think they are not trustworthy because they can't even agree with each other, even though that's the right way of finding the right solution to a problem, as opposed to never second guessing "the one leader's" every decision. People born in the ex-Soviet states grew up in a similar atmosphere. It's just mind boggling that it doesn't just apply to ex-Soviet states: just look at what's happening in the US, with Trump (a politician with 90+ criminal charges, impeached, proven to have lied even to his own voters a bazillion times, supported and possibly orchestrated a coup attempt against US democracy) claiming to start a literal dictatorship and his voters even cheering him for it. Far right is on the rise all around Europe and the US; politicians becoming even more populist, more fascist, mysogynistic, raising hate within society against various cultures, races, sexualities etc. - it's like the world hasn't learned from the mid 20th century.
