The war started in 2014 but somehow half of Europe and all of the US forgot.
Not to mention what happened in Georgia.
Or what happened in Chechnya.
Or with people living in Moscow just because Putler wanted to start a war.
Or journalists.
Sorry,but Russia never was a beloved uncle.
Russia was always the “shady, violent, uncle who can’t keep his hand off his kids but everyone ignores that because some family image they need to uphold and furthermore while he is quite poor he makes great gifts to the rest of the family. So everyone tolerates him.”
Russia had some kind of chance during the wild 90s, before Putin and his fellow chekists retook all control. In some ways the West should’ve had a different approach to Russia during this period of time and in the early 00s. Not that anyone or anything but Russian pride and megalomania, and Putin’s ambitions, are to blame for the current situation. At this point Russia has to be defeated and their overblown self-understanding changed.
Russia was kind of the drunk uncle before Putin’s intensification, filled with vodka drinking bear wrestlers, insane driving, and comrade jokes. This personified especially in Jeltsin’s behaviour
And Russia spent 40 years violently oppressing east Germans - and every one else around them for the past five decades. Essentially Russians are like chihuahuas

And you would think east germans would learn a lesson but instead they are Russian base within germany lol
culture of bootlicking strikes again.
People are stupid. Never gonna argue against that
That’s why I was specifically talking about image
