Russophobia, Islamophobia...

Russophobia doesn't exist. It is a propaganda term which exist to equate the dislike of Russian imperialist ambitions with a mental disease. As if people disliked Russia for no reason (phobias are irrational).

poor Russia

they illegally invade an innocent neighboring country, starting the biggest land war in Europe since WWII, and killing thousands of innocent civilians in the process ...

yet we’re supposed to believe *Russia* is the victim here

LOL

“Phobia”?

For any of the Baltic republics to be profoundly concerned about Russian aggression is completely rational.

Russian troops invaded Estonia prior to the German invasion. They arrested anyone who had ever hired another person as capitalist, took over the local media, print and broadcast. They suppressed the church, and arrested priests. They murdered hundreds of thousands Estonians. In fairness, they also murdered millions of Russians, too.

The SS raised a Division to fight the Soviets. Estonians have justifiable fear of a resurgent Soviet Union, and an incandescent hatred of Russia.

That’s not Russiaphobia, that’s well founded fear. If I am wary around crocodiles it’s not crocodyliaphobia, it’s common sense.

Russia threatens to nuke and invade their neihbors. Russia attacks and invades their neighbors.

Then they whine like little girls if someone stands up to them.

Well, if a phobia can be a rational fear, I would say Estonis DOES have Russophobia.

It is interesting to note that Estonia is comparable in population to a city like Phoenix or San Antonio, and as such the whole dust-up reminds me of “The Mouse That Roared.”

Remember when you asked me what I think will happen and I said that I think Russia will invade Ukraine and try to kill them all.

This was at the time when all the Putinistas here were shouting about the Russian invasion being an “idiotic fantasy, that will never happen”.

Russians hate us because we understand how their evil minds work.

An apt visual. Perhaps the remake of the film could be called "The Mice That Roared."

It's amusing to think that, if a population of 1.5 million is a measure of what population should have its own ambassador, then Warsaw should have its very own. And New York City could have more than five, by a fraction.

Yes, I remember. I treasured your insight then as I continue to do so now.

Russophobia doesn’t exist. ==

Adolph Hitler was a Russophobe for example. SO Russophobia exists very well. Today EU like Hitler EU also Russophobe completely.

As if people disliked Russia for no reason (phobias are irrational).==

Same people who poke Russia to her eye and undermined her security for years. Now her patience just ran out. It is quite hypocritical to make a surprise face..

Russia threatens to nuke and invade their neihbors.==

But first those neibors attack ethnic Russian population. It is actually a cause of invasion.

Then they whine like little girls if someone stands up to them.==

They didn’t stand up at all. They simply jackals barfing behind fence of NATO.

And believe me it is your mistake you took them in. They will bring a unnecessary war on you. War with no your interests in it. And your whole life and future might be destroyed.

I don’t agree. Nuclear superpower can’t lose. She will go nuclear before it if feels danger as promised. So she won’t lose.
