This is nonsensical. Napoleon and Hitler were the invading armies so what choice did Russia have but fight them? I mean there was a party to these wars that was left small and insignificant but it sure wasn’t Russia. Google the procession of Nazi POWs in the USSR if you want to see a picture of lost glory. |
Yes, they beat Napoleon AND Hitler (albeit with lots of help) and raped Eastern Europe for 100 years. Now they have lost all that land and power and feel sad, hence the need to conjure up Nazis and rape again because they feel collectively like tiny little people. Thanks for the history lesson though! |
It’s still the biggest country in the world. I think you know very little about Russia and Russians if that’s your premise. They collectively feel that they are a glorious world power with a mighty military and thus they deserve more respect. No one there feels little and sad. They do not see themselves as a regional power. |
They are bullies, and most bullies grandiosity is fueled by feelings of inadequacy, projection, power and control. "Well balanced" countries dont send legions of baby rapists and civilian crucifiers onto their neighbors and justify it Yes, agree that they want to be a glorious world power - but they are not that at all |
| Also, they are big geographically if you count all the frozen tundra. Not big population wise . |
Also, please explain how you figured that their rape of Eastern Europe started in 1922? |
| You sure are a "latcher" huh? My theory is that Russia has a huge inferiority complex due to the diminishment of the USSR, causing them to lash out. This is akin to the rise of Hitler/Nazis after the humiliations of WW1. I'm not sure if it's a theory or more of a fact, since Putin himself has been bemoaning this territorial loss for the past twenty years But you do you and your theory - that it's a huge, grandiose country with a superiority complex?. Maybe it's both. Russia is the neighborhood *ss-hole right now + it may help to counter them if we understand the drivers of this aggression. |
Russia is geographical significant. Nuclear capabilities significant. All other relevance to human society irrelevant. |
By land mass alone (most of it frozen.) I mean if that is the criteria, I guess we should be afraid of Canada. |
Russia was originally in cahoots with Hitler, so there's that. |
They both loved sending folks to death or near-death camps, that's for sure. Now Russia is kidnapping children. |
