Can't even begin to say how happy I am for Latvia that they are tearing down the monuments to their Soviet oppressors!

On FR we used to frequently mention the 10s of millions of people murdered by the Russian empire, the number 60 million used to be mentioned, they were seen as evil, equal to or surpassing Nazi Germany.

Sore losers. Erasing one’s history has consequences, meanwhile, they can rethink their actions when they freeze this winter.

Defiance doesn’t win wars, and angry emotions lose wars.

Just another indication Vlad holds all the cards….and there is nothing the West can do about it….meanwhile Vlad continues to rake in billions while the West goes into bankruptcy funding Biden’s war.

Why is the West so intent on committing suicide?

One man conquered all those nations.

All those nations chose to join the E.U.

I may not like the E. U., but to act as if the two
systems are identical, came to be in the same way
is not supportable.j

The E.U. does not operate today like NAZI Germany
either.

I guess you skipped WWII in history class. That map is very inaccurate. When did Hitler invade Spain and Portugal? Who knows so little about WWII to include Cyprus as a German territory?

Yes, it used to be thatFreepers agreed Soviet Communism was a bad thing. Now we have too many posters from Petrograd who believe the myth of the “Great Patriotic War.”

Russian empire? What’s that? Do you mean the former Soviet Union which died 30 years ago but lives on in the dreams of Brennan, Clapper, Austin and Blinken?

The Russian victory over Germany was a myth? Really? They shouldered about 80% of the battle and the sacrifices of WW2, freed half of Europe from the Nazis and they were in the fight from the beginning. That’s what made it great and patriotic. That simple fact is what the weak, collaborating Baltic Chihuahuas can’t stand.

Thirty years isn’t long ago as Russia is invading again and the nations that escaped it because of America’s Reagan and NATO, are now either fighting for their lives or being told by Russia they are next on the list, while the KGB Lt. Col master of Russia also threatens the world again with nuclear war.

I am very happy that there are no Putin bootlickers here on FR. All of them aim just a little higher. And it is obvious that they have excellent aim.

Russia was allied with Germany, invaded Finland and Poland, and the Russian indifference for life and cruelty vastly inflated the numbers of their war dead, they did not do 80% of the allied effort of WWII, and they didn’t “free” anyone, they enslaved them.

NATO is made up of forces that freed nations from the Nazis and the Russians, and those that were freed from them, and who are again facing Russia’s guns and its aims of conquest.
