I used to think Putin and Russians were ok. Their Crimea invasion was not on my radar. The Russians used to own it, so I figured, OK.
I am 100% against them since these dumb, evil, rats invaded Ukraine. A very civilized nation. F’em!
The Ukraine Slavs are more European blooded and more Europe oriented. While the Russian Slavs are more Mongolian barbarians. End result -— Putin now looks away from Europe to solve his economic problems. By selling his oil and gas to Asians, China and others.
Russians have never been free. And I mean NEVER. That is why they are — generally speaking — fatalists. And, as has been said in literature, Russians simply endure.
That is very sad. Russians tend to just go along with, and accept, their history of subjugation.
