The war has been really bad for the European economy. Turns out, cutting off the main source of cheap power to your main industrial engine isn’t good for the economy. Who woulda thunk?
Of course this is nothing new. It’s the same playbook that Stalin used to purge millions (see the part about ethnic minorities here, or example in the Holomodor.
So Putin is just reviving this pattern which goes back basically to the founding of the Russian Empire. It’s a National pastime.
That article shows hundreds died in mass killings as part of the conflict. Do you really think hundreds of people are a genocide? If that’s a genocide, then the US has committed 10x the number of genocides and shouldn’t be leading the effort to “protect” anyone.
Are you talking about the 1944 mass deportation of Chechens, which only the European Parliament has recognized as a genocide? Or are you talking about the literal war between Russia and Chechnya at the turn of the 21st century that no one has recognized as a genocide because the casualties are smaller than pretty much every US military engagement in the last 70 years?

Oh yeah, just keep the cheap gas and ignore the little problem in Ukraine…
No.
The problem that NATO has been working to cause since 1992?
Opinion dismissed.
By accepting countries that really wanted out from the genocidal boot of Russians? Yes.
You’re saying Russia was genocidal when it stopped being communist, became capitalist, and the Americans came in to liberalize it’s economy?
Is that the same “genocidal” that the Nazi officers who were put into command positions in NATO were guilty of?
We are talking about the same country that invaded Chechnya, Moldova, and Georgia before doing the same in Ukraine, right? Just making sure.
Try to find any evidence that those were genocides. I’ll wait.

Thank you. And not to mention that those regions are conscripted into the war at hundreds of times the rate of those from Moscow and St. Petersburg. This is when the real genocide happens, when they start using you for cannon fodder in the next war. You see it already happening with Ukrainians from the occupied territories.
The other part of the genocide happens from simply stealing all their resources and keeping them so poor they can hardly manage to feed themselves

Yes it was. Look at what they did to Chechnya. Was that Americans fault too?
