When it comes from the mouth of Quisling traitors, yes.
>>>The article suggests that they are former Soviet citizens, now migrants, from several of the now independent Soviet Republics.
It is a little known fact that part of the reason the Soviet Union collapsed was the ethnic stresses between the Russians and the outlaying Republics.<<<
A little dirty secret of the Soviet collapse is that Russia was a source of food stamps and other aid to a majority savage population of the rest of the Soviet Union and about a half of the third world.
“Migrants” from Russia also provided labor and enterprise in most of these hellholes.
As soon as socialism has crippled them too much they couldn’t afford to feed so many ethnic freeloaders but those refused to understand and developed a theory of “Russian occupants” looting their nations. It made some sort of sense in Eastern Europe (thus East Germany and some other places were still a 100% Russian supported welfare states) but was a total nonsense in Central Asia, elevated from the 7th century by the Soviets. Saudis were there to push their propaganda and soon Muslims who lost their free money turned to loot property of Russians living there, to rape and kill them.
Needless to say, Russians went to Russia, and Stans returned back to a 7th century after the last Russian leaving has turned the light off.
Russia, Estonia and to some degree a tolerant Kazakhstan were a few winners of a Soviet collapse. The rest are crawling over the border in hopes to collect some sort of free or easy money from their former “occupants”. And it’s no surprise that these former “occupants” who once lost everything don’t want them there.
There are certain analogy with a present United States to draw but the problem is savages and freeloaders aren’t somewhere on the edges of the country but within.
>>Imagine, just a few short years ago the MSM thought Russians could do no wrong. Now it seems as though they do nothing right. Whats changed, guys?<<
They aren’t communists anymore. Plain and simple.
Good analysis and explanation. I was fortunate to stand a classified briefing predicting the dissolution of the Soviet Union, among other things, a few years ahead of the event. Around the same time, my uncle, the Colonel, came to my Grandmother’s house wearing a Soviet Army fur hat with the Red Star. As a younger enlisted airman, I was shocked. He told me they were selling them on the street in Berlin and he bought it as a trophy for winning the Cold War. Sure enough, a few years later it unfolded on TV.
