    So nice of you to want us to take the word of an anonymous poster in an internet forum.

    Russian ethnic minorities bearing brunt of Russia's war mobilization in Ukraine | CBC News

    Soviet Apartheid: Stalin’s Ethnic Deportations, Special Settlement Restrictions, and the Labor Army: The Case of the Ethnic Germans in the USSR | SpringerLink

    Tons of links.

    Can you volunteer to serve in the Army to confirm how awesome you're doing in Ukraine?

    Russia found adequate "neighbors".....yes, Chinos are your ....neighbor.

    I'll tell you something @Vitaliy...Chinos are a neighbor...but not your "friend"....OK.

    After this $hitshow fiasco in Ukraine is...over?....and RuZZia is significantly exhausted and beat the crap out of.....I suspect China will make its "demands" .....one of them being RuZZias resources....as many RuZZkis were killed in Ukraine....China will suggest developing resources ....JOINTLY? China will send many thousands upon thousands of migrant workers and consultants (aka Chinese military & intelligence in disguise) to assist in development of those Russian resources. After some time the Chinos will fabricate some kind of "incident"....and things will escalate quickly from there?....those Chino migrants ....basically military intell ....will act as a Trojan horse for many more thousands if not millions to pour into Siberia and Far East and annex large portions of the Siberian landscape. Hope this was informative about your good "neighbor".

    So, if Putin and Russia is SOOOooooo afraid of an attack from NATO, why is Putin not guarding it?

    Maybe it's because he's not afraid of an attack by NATO and all this NATO stuff is Russian agitprop spread by propagandists and morons who believe it.

    Generally speaking, yes. Europe has relied on the U.S. for defense since WWII and still does. Europe cannot match the U.S. productive power right now. Might that change in the future? Sure might. But I doubt it.

    Maybe. MAYBE!

    But what is the benefit to you from this? Territories in Eurasia that were settled by Europeans, pro-Western in spirit people, although Russians will be settled by Chinese instead. What is the benefit to the Western world from this?

    Do you need help counting to ten?

    That's a joke.... Data covers the period from January 24th 2022.... Ending about a year later

    The US has committed well over 100 billion to the Ukrainian fascist

    How come the US is the only country to invoke Article 5 of NATO, because it is so fantastic?

    So, you're having difficulty with the counting? Because "a few" is not a number.

    Its actually $25 Trillion vs $26 in US, but its irrelevant, and they ARE financing it.

    Correct. They are very committed to it. ​

    It's even more interesting seeing people who marched to the tune of the left wing Masters... Unable to see that a disinterest in supporting either side and a belief that we should not have anything to do with it and throw our tax dollars at it.... As somehow supporting Russia.

    Binary thinking prevents an accurate perception of reality, and mixing that with partisan bias is a very toxic combination that creates a mindset that cannot conceive outside of what it has been trained to see.

    Classic George Bush mentality of, if you are not with us ; you are against us

    Wow, you're demonstrating quite a bit of U.S. hate with that post. Why do you hate the U.S. so much?

    Do you believe the U.S. deserved 9/11?

    Come on . . . be honest . . .
