The Estonian weekly Eesti Ekspress interviewed the heads and several employees of Estonia’s, Latvia’s, and Lithuania’s state security agencies. This is what they had to say regarding Russia. ...
Toots wasn’t surprised by the atrocities committed in Bucha. Nor were any other of the counterintelligence agents I interviewed in Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania. They’re aware of how Russians conducted themselves in the Baltics during the Second World War. Of how they conducted themselves before that. Of how they’ve always behaved. The West lacks such awareness.
„[The West is] fortunate,“ Toots remarks. „We’re a buffer between them and Russia. They’ve forgotten a lot and think Russia is just like them.“
It isn’t. ...
„If you want to know Russia, then don’t go to St. Petersburg or Moscow,“ says Toots. He once spent six months in Kronstadt, a stone’s throw from St. Petersburg but filled with an entirely different breed of people. There, no one removed their hats at the table or knew a single thing about etiquette. Everything was decaying and chair legs were on the verge of snapping off beneath you, but no one lifted a finger to fix anything, simply sighing „Ah…“ and giving a dismissive a wave of the hand. The atmosphere was infused with something intrinsically foreign to the West – Russian society is accustomed to suffering. An injustice that sends Parisians out onto the streets won’t make a single resident of Novosibirsk scratch the back of their necks. ...
„Look at what they did in the Second World War,“ Sinisalu says when we discuss the mass graves, rapes, and deportations in Ukraine. „It’s the exact same.“ Sinisalu’s maternal grandparents were deported to Siberia, where both perished. What’s happening in Ukraine today has been seen and endured before in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius.

Cry more Baltic nazis.
It's the Ukrainians that have used civilians as human shields (which Amnesty International even admitted), target civilians in Donetsk and shelled a nuclear power plant. And, the Biden regime is complicit in it all.
Ukraine HAS NO AIR DEFENSE. Russia could turn what's left of it into a parking lot if it wanted to. It refrained from even taking the energy grid out for almost eight months because it wanted to spare civilian lives.
There is going to come a time when the lies and propaganda won't work anymore. That time is coming soon.
Might be of interest.
Because the globalist left, unlike the Russian-nationalist left, values human life. /sarc
I remember seeing a video of a silent UAV drone that carefully hovered over and dropped a small bomb on a single Russian soldier in a trench. That wasn’t cruel at all seeing him writhe in pain. Nope, not cruel at all /s
This proxy war of Biden’s, the MIC and RINO warhawks is not my business. It shouldn’t be any of our business at all, IMO.
The cruelty on both sides pushes the envelope.
Human history is loaded with violence and despair.
I would guess there is a place in Kentucky or Alabama or Detroit that has broken chairs as well
LOL
There is hope that Putinists will soon get the Zot?
Is morality a concept totally foreign to you? This is simply incredible. The Russians committed horrible atrocities comparable to Nazi atrocities. They killed millions. They deported the elite of the Baltic nations to Siberia. They murdered tens of thousands of Polish officers in Katyn and elsewhere. And you have the nerve to say that the Baltic nations are the Nazis.
How can you call yourself conservative?
Shame on you!
What’s embarrassing is that people like you defend this kind of behavior. It is entirely consistent with countless other accounts of this kind of treatment.
A regime that cares about “sparing civilian lives” does not recruit Chechens and align with the Ayatollah of Iran, the CCP, North Korea, Syria, etc. It also does not launch a pointless war just because it wants more territory and wants to recreate the Russian Empire / USSR to feed its leaders egos. You should be so embarrassed and ashamed of yourself to defend this regime.
Soviet treatment of minority populations soured millions of people on Communism in general and Russians in particular. It is no wonder they cooperated with the Nazis as no one else was fighting Stalin.
This is what happens when you have the blood of every invading army over the last three millennia flowing through your veins, and worship grain alcohol.
It was a soldier attacking a foreign country. The Russians killed millions of civilians in the 20th century - foreigners as well as their own citizens. If you can’t see a difference between killing an occupant and murdering civilians, you must be morally blind.
“Cry more Baltic nazis.”
Is everyone who doesn’t share your embrace of your beloved Russia by default a nazi?

Just look at American progressives, 63 million dead babies and they want more and we as a culture allegedly “value life.”
“I remember seeing a video of a silent UAV drone that carefully hovered over and dropped a small bomb on a single Russian soldier in a trench. That wasn’t cruel at all seeing him writhe in pain. Nope, not cruel at all /s”
A single enemy soldier gets taken out and you get the vapors.
And that wasn’t “cruelty.” Cruelty is the intentional infliction of pain for its own sake, and for the perverse gratification of the inflictor.
mac_truck is the kind of person who would ambush a special ed kid on the school bus, and then boast of it.
I appreciate these Saint's patience with us Westerners in our failure to understand how superior they are to Russians.
An old Intel analyst told me back in the’90s that Russia was basically a third world country with a first class military. The military seems to have a eroded but it’s still a third world country, the old Soviet satellite of countries were in most cases third world shitholes as well.
