Who in his right mind would trust a treaty signed by Russia? Such a treaty isn’t worth the paper it is written on. Russians are pathological liars. Lying is a national sport in Russia.
Seriously, do you really believe that no Freepers know anything about the history of Eastern Europe? The Lithuanians know their history. For your information (but you probably know that), Russia has always had a tyrannical government, it has no tradition of free political institutions. I suppose the Provisional government in 1917 was an exception, but it wasn’t really in control and didn’t last long. Or we can say that Russia is either full of tyranny, or full of chaos.
Russia hasn’t abandoned its imperial ambitions either. It wants to subjugate the neighboring nations. The Russians openly say that the Ukrainians aren’t a nation. Why shouldn’t we call what Russia is doing in Ukraine genocide? Ukraine isn’t the only Russian target. The Russian propagandists want to de-nazify (= attack with the Russian military) Poland and the Baltic states as well.
It is really puzzling that some Freepers, who supposedly love the concept of limited government invented by the Founding Fathers, defend Russian despotic imperialism.
Lying is a national sport in Russia.
Of course. Lying and cheating are in the very fabric of Russian culture. You’d be hard pressed to find a more immoral place on this planet. That’s what makes it so hilarious when the Kremlin’s useful idiots sing of the praises of Putin as a defender of Christendom.
