Overreact much?
Such nonsense
But still, you’re welcome to grab a gun and a plane ticket and go help :)
Whoa there pilgrim, slow down there! Yes, I knew there were two revolutions in 1917. I knew there was a civil war. I even knew about American intervention in Siberia in 1918.
The Russian Soviet Republic was the dominant entity in the USSR. Stalin ran that state, and in turn the whole country. He wasn’t replacing the Ukrainian language in schools with Georgian.
Wealthy British landowners lavished themselves whilst Irish tenants starved to death. In saying all this. I condemn the Soviet commies for the famine in Ukraine. In every conversatuon I have with a commie apologist I raise the famaine as an example of communist brutality whilst pointing out commies in the west glossed over it or down played it. But if the West is going to get mushroomed over past injustices and current occupstions they could at least call on their member states to end their own occupations
Time Ghost just put out an excellent episode about The Holodomor

It’s ok.
You’re not the only one on FR who doesn’t know history.
Plains Indians relied on bison for food and housing, and the wild buffalo was seen as a sacred animal. At the time,between 30 and 60 million buffalo are thought to have roamed the plains—and Sherman knew that if the buffalo went, so would Native Americans. “The government realized that as long as this food source [and] key cultural element was there,” anthropologist and Native American studies professor S. Neyooxet GreymorningtoldIndian Country Today, “it would have difficulty getting Indians onto reservations.”

The pictures don’t lie
Yes, I know history. And I never said all Russians were guilty of communist crimes. My advice is to try decaf tomorrow.
If the West hadn’t isolated the Soviet Union over its embracing of communism it wouldn’t have happened.
I have seen pictures of Buffalo bones piled so high i could not believe it.
Catherine the Great wasn’t Russian either, but her forces were still the RUSSIAN army.
No doubt all these injustices occured and carried out by many pointing fingers at Russia. That’s not to say a certain paralysis of action should always be the result. The Nazis pointed to the treatment of Africans in the U.S and Africa itself in its’ propaganda war. They had a point. But the point wasn’t big enough to allow them to take over all of Europe and beyond unchallenged. Shouid this be the case with Russia? In this case the cure could be worse than the disease. And if Ukraine has to be let go of to avoid hundreds or billions of dead, than that’s just the sad reality
I don’t blame you for being ignorant of history.
Anyone who disobeyed Stalin was be disappeared.
Not only themselves, but their entire family.
In reality, the ethnic Russians fought fiercely against the communists as “white russians”. There was a civil war.
The communists who overthrew and took over the country overwhelmingly were not ethnic Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. They killed both without remorse. The communists had massive foreign support and funding to overthrow the country.
But ignorant people like yourself want to place collective blame on Russia and Russians for what the communists did.
Enjoy your great reset.
Or, if you're anti-abortion, adopt a few unwanted babies.
I’m not ignorant of history. You however are going off on tangents.
Below are historical photographs documenting the industrial scale of the slaughter of 30 to 60 million American bison in order to eliminate the food supply of the Great Plains Indians and force the Native Americans onto military controlled reservations by eliminating their wild food source and the gutting culture of self-sufficiency by hunting.
Well put!

Let me guess, he was the 32nd President of the United States?
Oh, he wasn't. Who knew he was secretary-general of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953 and premier of the Soviet state from 1941 to 1953.
Stalin was born in the Russian colony of Georgia, which is not the same Georgia where Atlanta is located.
