Are you sure you're commenting in the right thread? This isn't related to war

I just read some of your posts before replying. Assuming you really are Ukrainian, I'm very sorry about what you and other Ukrainians are going through, and of course I'm 100% on your side on this, but I have to warn you that this attitude is exactly what Russian leaders would like to see: people around the world hating everything Russian indiscriminately, so that they can play victim. You're not helping your cause at all this way.


I assume, you just don't know reality good enough, not ignore reality.

In reality, from USSR times, exists sort of non-written deal, in which Russian tops allowed to do everything, even craziest things, like invade Ukraine, in exchange to relatively high life level for Russians (close to 1st world countries) and some civilization level achievements, like human space program (or something, their culture consider large achievement, like bloodless seize of Crimea).

These are extremely close to extreme-left maxima, that everything acceptable, in exchange to weighty enough something else.

Also, nearly all Russians have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_relativism

For example, nearly all Russians think, that is is acceptable to sacrifice tens of millions people, to achieve something like human flight to Mars, and high percent of them accept to sacrifice their own life, or lives of their relatives, if this will be decide of random generator. Yes, they really thought themselves as just substitutable parts of huge machine changing world.

Very few Russians (~1% of population), who don't agree with such thoughts, are constantly flee from Russia and got residency in some other nation, in many cases, just not so aggressive.

And this is not just my attitude, these are extremely rational thoughts, based on tens years of observations, read books, math modelling and testing. (For example, Algebra of conscience, Book by Vladimir Lefebvre)

Yes, it is not easy, but I have myself tested relations with Russians, and at the moment, even with tens years experience, even with closest friends, I cannot make good enough prediction, if some person nearest time will behave as normal human, or switch to totally agree part of Russian totalitarian machine.


I do not think that Russia wants to play the victim (completely different culturally for that). Plus, they have been the scapegoat for a really long time now. It became a meme. The Russians did it!


BTW, do you know, Russians are raised as Nazis?

- They just don't accept thoughts, that other nations have right to make their choice.

To be honest, they divide all nations to great and not great. Rule is simple - Russians had wars with near every nation in Europe, and after WW2 in other parts of world, and who had before in well know history kicked them in the teeth, considered great nation, all others are not great, victims.


Wtf are you talking about?


I say, this is road to nowhere. This efforts will not lead to anything real, only papers and pseudo-scientific talks. Nothing more.

Oh, sorry, forgot about Russian national sport - extreme sized embezzlement of budgets, for which need super-duper fantastic projects, so in any case could say "they just suffer from budget cuts, just few additional billions could lead to success".
