I know a few Russians. Yes, Russians who moved to Poland or the west years ago so not completely representative.

But they don’t worship war.

What is a Russian trait is acceptance of whatever crap the lords above shove down on you

When they have to live with the krauts sand all the others that don’t like them one can see why they’re so paranoid. With their resources would they be rich?

So true. The Second World War in Europe was won on the backs of the Russians.

This is an ironic article. The country with the most wars in modern times is the US.

Perhaps as much as US Citizens do, but there’s no way they could worship it more.

Full article, definitely goes beyond “modern times” and it’s not so much about the “amount” of war, but the existential nature of it all...whereas you can argue US’s wars have been more...elective, rather than existential...

But the “revolution” of 1917 in Russia was not truly a revolution.

It was an insurgency orchestrated and funded by the globalist bankers.

Russia is not the Soviets. The Russia of today is free from the infiltrators. They are God-fearing traditionalists like American patriots.

But the same globalist bankers continue to fabricate propaganda about Russia, to prevent the American people from realizing Russia is our ally and the globalists our true enemy.

Russians worship war as long as the Chechens, Buryats, Dagestanis, Tuvans, Kalmyks and Norks are doing all the fighting for them.

“war is an indispensable part of how Russians see the world and their place in it”

The very same applies to to US.

And to all of the nations of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Where does this garbage come from?

Russia has been invaded numerous times over the centuries, but never conquered.

Successfully repelling invaders does not translate into “loving war.”

Gary Saul Morson is a Russophile, and tenured professor whose entire life’s mission has been to expose the treasures of Russian Literature to the current generations of Americans.

As a percentage of territory taken in a war and permanently held until it was ripped from the victor’s hands, I wonder how the US fares historically?

What, with all of our conquered lands and such...

Since WWII, the USA has fought or meddled in more wars than the Russians, and none of them have been in our backyard.
