You’re probably one of the millions West Europeans and Americans who were deluded for decades that Russia is a great country… I live in West Europe, I’m amassed to realise how many people here have Russian names without having anything to do with Russia - it’s just fancy, sounds exotic and women get excited when hearing russian names, because of all those narratives that depict Russians as “real men”… For more than a decade I fight as much as I can with those delusional perceptions, and the reason is that I grew up in the Soviet Socialist state of Bulgaria where I was forced to study Russian, I was forced to watch Russian television, I was forced to adopt the idea that Russia is a leading liberator of the world… while on personal I had to experience the whole cruelty of those savages which had (and have) nothing to do with the international image they have. The West just projects on Russia qualities which Russia never had. With other words, you just had to find someone like me who has seen real Russians.

Unfortunately, many of those missing people may literally never be found. According to the US DoD, in WWII, the US military had over 74,000 missing troops in addition to the 400k+ combat deaths the Americans suffered. In a city that was bombed to oblivion, missing people may have been forcibly repatriated by the Russians (an act of ethnic cleansing, like the forced deportation of Crimean Tatars and Polish Jews by the Soviets, which is why my country and others have classified this war as Genocide), buried under rubble, vaporized by an explosion, or just hastily buried (adding to risks of disease outbreak). It is a shame that this has to happen for Westerners to finally understand what us Easterners have been saying about Russia for generations. Poland and Ukraine have had a lot of beef through the centuries, but if there's one thing for certain, it's that we hate Russia a lot more than we've hated each other in the past.

[@Psych0technic]

Poland, Ukraine and Baltic states should form their own economic and military union outside the EU to more effectively oppose Russia in future.

[@arohemq]

@@Psych0technic Huh? That makes no sense, at all, so I think perhaps you are not fully aware of what the EU is and entails. If you're British, be aware that I voted Remain and do know what the EU is about (I am a dual-national and still hold an EU nationality). Ukraine has already had their application to join the EU accepted. Poland and the Baltic States already belong to NATO, so they are already "more effectively able to oppose Russia". Individual nations within NATO, however, are free to support Ukraine as best they are able without directly involving their troops. If they left NATO, they would effectively open themselves up to invasion and would be worse off.

[@Psych0technic]

@@arohemq I'm Russian, actually. EU is bloated, ineffective, overly regulated, disjointed mess, where pro russian states like Hungary can sabotage effective punitive policy response. 8 years ago, after crimea annexation all that EU did came up with is slapping Putin's wrist, then they proceeded to business as usual and keep filling up his pockets, and close their eyes on human rights abuses in Russia, so the current events are in large part their fault. Another, smaller economic and military (maybe some kind of defense pact in addendum to NATO) union between countries that are all actually on a same page in their cultural norms, and which aren't corrupted by Russian money would make tremendous difference in quickly and efficiently deterring russia in this region in the future, in my opinion.

[@kunatosftw]

@@Psych0technic tell me which country of all you mentioned has a strong enough economy to do that? Its not realistic. Both western and eastern european countries need each other agaisnt russia Dont sow more division

[@Psych0technic]

@@kunatosftw well, actually Poland has both a healthy economy and very capable army. Ukraine's has huge economic potential, so maybe a closer economic ties with Poland could be the jolt it needs after the war instead of waiting for years for EU membership. I'm not saying that these countries should necessarily leave the EU and turn their back on western countries, although it's their decision. I just don't think that EU project is viable long term in it's current form with it's deep divisions and overregulation. But European countries should of course strive for friendly relationship and free trade in the future, regardless the the EU membership.

When I watched it, I knew that country, which I have to admit I've always found interesting, was doomed. A "strong leader" in other words, an autocrat, is actually what leads a country to its downfall.

@@HSstriker not exactly rich at all myself. Three different times in my life I have starved. After three days your stomach stops gnawing at you.

Yes, it is important to get the "free speech" out of Ukraine. The bloggers in this video are pro-Russian and talking about how Russians are helping to restore the normal life back into the city. Yes, the Russian and pro-Russian forces did attack this city, but this city was held captive by NAZI AZOV movement which opressed to any idea of freedom for Russians or anyone else than Ukranians. This video was edited in a such way that one would think these people are held captive by Russians in their own city.

[@user-ih4so4gx3r]

@@KommandantGSR Mariupol has been relatively peaceful for the past few years, ever since the Ukrainian army retook control over it. But I guess your friend must be an ethnic Russian who has been brainwashed by the Putin era propaganda, as no sane person would be happy about "retaking" a city by aniquilating it and leaving thousands of people dead. I live in Poland and my friend's family recently took in a Ukrainian family from Mariupol that's made up of a granny, a mother and her daughter. I was invited to the daughter's 18th birthday party to help her adapt in the new enviroment and got an opportunity to talk to her. She actually studied law in Moscow, but she decided to join up her family that was forced to escape to Poland. They were all Russian speakers, they have lived alongside Russians for years and the daughter even moved to Moscow in spite of all the separatists-related shit. And yet her hometown got absolutely destroyed, her neighbours killed. She was supposed back to Mariupol this summer to meet up with her old friends at the Theatre Square, but instead she got permanently separated from her friends, got forced to adapt to life in a new country and even the iconic thetre is gone, together with lives of dozens of people who were hiding there. The only thing that Russia brought to Mariupol was its doom, and yet stinky vatinks like you dare to argue that you "liberated" the city. Pathetic.

@@user-ih4so4gx3r Well that kind of sucks for your Refugees, I really don't know what else to say except regards. I have Lost three of my good friends from this damned war which is why i got stuck up in this agenda in the first place. But taking it to note Ukraines government had the chance for a solid 6 months to Allow russia to have back The Donetsk region AND keep their government yet they refused to. If they didn't refuse it, It wouldve cost ALOT less civilian casualties since everyone knew russia Is not a Peaceful proposition and Ukraine's leader damn well knew that they couldve saved alot of lives hut instead made it worst thanks to NATO pushing pressures.. My friend is a full on Ukrainian man who has a Bulgarian fathers side, He doesnt care about russian propaganda or ukrainian propaganda and so does Four other ukrainians and Six russians who are in a group chat all together with me to Translate such and Help eachother out. Yet The media of the west blockaded what Mariupol suffered under, Under ukrainian Rule mariupol was affected by the Water blockage that was Affected towards Crimea. The media also has blockaded out that Ukraines Troops have been killing Russian speakers for 8 years straight, said by the Citizens who were completely safe in russian territory. Azov was Founded Slaughtering/Using civilians as Defences including the hospital that was Attacked with That famous story of a pregnant woman, Everyone believed it was just a warcrime when In reality both sides admitted That ukraines troops used it as a bunker. Just like the Steel plant, when citizens were founded they all spoke out against azov about them being used as shields. Claiming people immedietaly to be "Oh they are just brainwashed and only believe what putin says" is kind of Hypocritical and selfish despite the fact you could've atleast done deep ass research without just believing "It was fine" when in reality the entire eastern world is never fine and the west just wants to fuck with it til they get to the point that it is too late. I dont side with either russia or the west, I collect these information to keep it studied and to pear it out before i make my articles to those that are struggling in this conflict because both sides cant make up there damn minds whether to tell the truth or lies.
