This is what it looked like in Slovakia on 21.8.1968. Armies of the Warsaw pact invaded Czechoslovakia. Why? Because we wanted democracy instead of a communist totalitarian regime.

They killed 148 people and almost half a milion people emigrated in the following years (many died attempting to cross the guarded borders).

They stayed until 1991, leaving behind them ruin, death, enviromental and cutural damage.

@janbogar i hope you'll also take position about what USA did in latin america. Or because it's USA, it was "for the good" ?

@HerNameIsTitou Why? I am sharing history of my country on the day it happened. I don't have to take position on every injustice that ever happened. Should I also express my position on Viking invasion of Britain, German invasion of Poland, Soviet invasion of Poland, or Sea peoples' invasion into Egypt?

And what's your position? Instead of taking any, you just resorted to whataboutism. If you wanted to talk positions, you shoud have started with that.

@janbogar it's more about when i ask peoples like you to describe "totalitarian communist regime" they end describing USA, or even NATO countries.

@HerNameIsTitou Lol, my parents lived in it and I was lucky enough to be born a year after its definitive fall. I don't have to explain it to you, I can just show you:

In USA, people can leave anytime they want. Here we couldn't. The border was guarded, like in North Korea. Yet still many tried and many died attempting it. That's all you really need to know.

We are a NATO country. We desperately wanted to be one. It's not even remotely comparable.

@janbogar Leave to go where ? Most of europe countries are USA puppet, and the others has been destroyed by USA imperialism or USA-funded countries. USA is a terrorist state.

@Titou :archlinux: You are only incapable uneducated moron. Try elementary school.

@martin now now, even though she acts like a moron, there is no reason to insult her by saying it to her face.

She might yet learn. But even if she doesn't, it doesn't help anyone. Culture is important.

@Ján Bogár Projel jsem si jeho/její profil a je to typický dezolát. 🤷‍♂️

@martin áno, je, ale nemám rád, keď sa vlákna pod mojimi statusmi menia na vzájomné pokrikovanie urážok.

A aj takí občas precitnú :D

Košičan, ktorý chcel preplávať do Ruska, je už na ceste domov. Skladbu ospevujúcu Putina hodil do koša

Už pár dní je známe, že dobrodruh zo Slovenska, ktorý 1. mája v neopréne a s nafukovacím kolesom preplával z Estónska cez rieku Narva do Ruska, je 46-ročný Košičan Ján Mazák. Slovenské médiá píšu o jeho súde v Rusku a hrozbe niekoľkoročného trestu za ilegálne prekročenie ruských hraníc, ale Ján…
