So the Ukrainians today are subhuman “Nazis” because of the crimes of their ancestors 80 years ago, but we should forget about the crimes of the Russians, both then and now. Why not a equal horror about the deeds of the Soviets against the Ukrainians? Do not look at the past, but at the present. Today it is the Russians who are attempting to subjugate another nation, destroying cities and leave death in their wake. But I guess that does not count because of what happened 80 years ago.
Who's forgetting about Russia's past crimes? Certainly not me - we all know the history of Stalin's purges against his own people, his murderous rampages and his creation of the gulag system. I have read Solzhenitsyn. . .
Yes, Russia is trying to "subjugate another nation," and a simple question must be asked: Why? The answers to that question are complex. An honest observer of the situation would have to conclude that to be the case. Yet some folks here on FR blather on about how Putin's the second coming of Hitler, a madman intent on the conquest of Europe and world domination. That's a mighty ignorant point of view.
