Trump: "You're gambling with World War III."
History: "WWII started with a right-wing authoritarian leader allying himself with a Russian dictator and agreeing to mutually devour a country on Russia's borders. That's essentially identical to what Trump and Putin are attempting to do now. The way to stop WWII was to hold a dictator in check. The way to prevent WWIII is the same."
Yea, USSR lost more people than any other country, but no, they didn't defeat fascism alone, they did together with many other countries ...
And today? Today, it is Russia learning from history by re-imposing fascism...
Edit: oh, and btw, the USSR in those days wasn't even led by a Russian, but rather by a Georgian named ... yes, you guessed it, იოსებ სტალინი
Бессмысленно прельщает вас
Борьбы отчаянной отвага —
И ненавидите вы нас…
За что ж? ответствуйте: за то ли,
Что на развалинах пылающей Москвы
Мы не признали наглой воли
Того, под кем дрожали вы?
За то ль, что в бездну повалили
Мы тяготеющий над царствами кумир
И нашей кровью искупили
Европы вольность, честь и мир?
@chesheer what do you want to tell me with that? That we don't honor what USSR did in WWII? Or that I had to watch Eastern Germans be shot when trying to cross the wall to Western Germany and let to bleed to death?
I am thankful for what the USSR together with all the Allies did in WWII - freeing Europe from tyranny.
But I also know what the same USSR did in that war and what it kept doing to Eastern Europe until 1990 - and now, Russia doing since then. And no, I won't forget it.
@ics
Вы совершенно верно говорите, СССР освободил от фашизма Европу. Поэтому, для нас Степан Бандера - преступник, а для Украины - герой https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera
И этот факт невозможно пересмотреть и изменить.
А Берлинская стена появилась не просто так, ей предшествовал Берлинский кризис 1961 года, и стена возникла как ответ на полную недоговороспособность западной стороны.
@vinnimix The Berlin Wall did not appear, it was built by humans, by people who wanted to oppress others, who saw their people fleeing into freedom, and who'd rather kill their own people (with the tacit or explicit support of the USSR) than let them move to freedom.
Yes, I know Stepan Bandera (the history), and yes, he was a criminal - and that's why Russia wants to kill all Ukrainians now? Children? Women? Men? Everybody??
(and no, it was NOT USSR alone; I don't know how often I have to mention that; it was the Allied Forces, which included USSR - and no, it was NOT Russia)
I mean, you can continue dispersing your Russian propaganda, but what is the difference between Russia as of today and other fascist regime that existed before? Russia has a fascist regime that kills hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women, men, elderly ... Russia doesn't give a fuck about who it kills - the goal is to eradicate Ukraine from the planet's surface and kill everything Ukrainian - the goal is to eradicate Ukrainian culture, values, history, ...
And at home? In Russia? Defenester (or send them to Siberia into gulags) anyone who disagree with The Great Leader, the new Czar - yeah, right ... fuckers!
