Why don’t you ask why other Eastern European nations hate the Russians so much? They hate the Russians because they were subjugated by Russia for centuries. Their elites were sent to Siberia or killed. Now the Russians are killing again, this time Ukrainians. Don’t you understand that it is impossible to negotiate with someone who either wants to subjugate you or kill you? Putin himself said that the Ukrainians didn’t have the right to exist as an independent nation.
By the way, why do you think that the United Nations could achieve anything positive? Isn’t it common knowledge among conservatives that the UN is a useless institution?
Not all Eastern Europeans have such a negative view of the Russians. Serbia and Bulgaria have viewed their fellow orthodox Russians as their protectors from the Islamic abominations of the 14th thru the 18th centuries. Sadly many seem to feel that the more russians killed in this war, the better. Others feel that this slavic death fest is just another Euro civil war that further erodes Western culture. also you might want to consider how many Americans would not exist if the Russians, at tremendous cost to themselves had not mauled and destroyed the best elements of the German army. How many of their fathers and grandfathers would have returned home if the American army had to liberate Europe against an intact German army. Give the Russians some credit however bitter you may be about their behavior in the post war era.
