Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

The nazi's never pretended to be anything else other than those doing the exact same thing. I instinctively dislike Trump but the west still needs better relations with Russia, they seem to be the last sane man standing. Modern Russia might be just our best friends. The EU certainly isn't, the bullshit constrictor. They even are planning to abolish cash so that a negative interest on savings can be used when they screw up, what they always do, paying to save? Go team Putin

And you think your life will change for the better? Go team North Korea is what you will shout next.

For your consideration, how could a Russian leader respond to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjCOJoytLNY

I can see the name of the name of who posted it, and what's above the video, but it's pretty wtf. How could there not be a response?

I thought we were through with the discussion of who is more nazi/criminal/racist and so on. My argument was that every country has nutjobs, even embracing the highest positions. Pointing to them and trying to turn a blind eye upon other countries will not prove anything.
As a reply to the video you linked: the Russian leader allowed a nazi to be a deputy head of the parliament in 2003-2004:

The same position is now held by Zhirinovsky - you can google yourself and find out about his bigotric lunatic ideas.

If you mean that Putin had a right to interfere into Ukrainian events after he had seen the video you refer to, then I will say that a sober- minded leader (of any country) ought to know better than to overreact after seeing nutjobs airing their views in public. Ohterwise Obama would have started a war with Russia each time he heard Zhirinovsky speaking. And he is not a random adventurer, but a deputy head of the parliament in 2000-2011.

I meant not respond, my bad. He just had to do something otherwise he would look weak.

Just google for pictures (videos) of parades in both countries and you'll see.

You do know that German officers were mostly responsible for training Russian army since Peter the Great, so it is quite normal for Russian and German military traditions to be similar.

As for similarity in uniforms, that's a laugh.

A follow up on the topic - posters of two countries in question:

Flashing news!

Uniforms and propaganda posters from the same time look similar! Soviet and German cars, too! Even, the toothpastes! Just look at these suspicious little devilish cylinders!

Not to mention that both their leaders had a mustache. Coincidence? I think not.

What he did exceeds the common sense (of a country leader) and looks like a knee-jerk reaction. Anyway, he together with his country are much weaker now. Was it worth it?
