I think this is the biggest problem among all russians and this is why they end up in this situation now. If everybody will be scared to move a finger, nothing will change. Like it never changed for the last decades.
It's time to stop being chickens and put this dictator to sleep. Otherwise - welcome russians to new world similar to N. Korea.
I’m not for war and certainly not for death of innocent people. After COVID these people have had to endure s**t I couldn’t even imagine.
Putin can see what is going on and this world is becoming more messed up every day.
Iraq there was supposedly weapons of mass destruction. They were never found and all of their gold is missing?
The Middle East oil producing countries share their oil revenue with its citizens. This was based on Colonel Gadaffi template. He started to get the rest of Africa to follow, by not letting other countries exploit them. A true pan African. The dictator is now dead, Gold and billions of dollars missing.
These are 2 examples of countries who citizens were looked after by the state in regards to health care, income, education (including international education) and some of the best quality of life. Now they are fucked and where is NATO in all of this? Left the people destitute and broke!!!!!!!!!
Just look at it as Russia is just like any mineral rich country the west want to control but can’t because their leader will not agree. So they sanction the country and sorround them with US (I mean NATO) army. The difference is Russia has the army and the arsenal to protect themselves where Libya didn’t. They will push back and defend themselves especially since the country they help to build has turned their back on them!!
The issue here is NATO and that they promised not to let Ukrain in, to Russia. Ukrain desperately want to join the EU and the president has gone against this deal.
Russia has given (not loaned) Ukrain billions to develop their infrastructure and trained and educated a lot of their population. They gave them help in setting up industry like arms manufacturing which is one of the largest employers and revenue generators to Ukrain.
The west told Ukrain that we will support you especially USA. They went to war with Russia and have been left on their own. Everyone is pretending to help by sending their military but no one has actually got involved. Unfortunately the Ukrainian president found out the hard way that no one is coming to help!!
Ukrain wouldn’t be what it is today without Russia.
As for sanctions they don’t hurt the wealthy, so they get the poor to do their dirty work.
Russia has leant the west hundreds of billions which now won’t be paid back.
