Thousands of brave soldiers died horrible deaths helping the Russian people to enjoy the life they have today...many of these servicemen didn't die fighting...they got blown to bits or froze to death in icy waters when the Germans had there nasty hands right round the throat of Russia...not so long ago really.
So what is Russia's contribution to a safer more caring world....who have they helped in the last 50 years....hard to think of anyone anything really except to make sure that they are fine and dandy.
So wouldn't it be nice just for once they turned round and surprised the world and said...fair enough,we understand and will try and pave the way for a fair transistion....let the Ukraine do as they please as long as the Russian nationals are treated fairly like everyone else.
We can dream.
I'm not trying to stick up for the Ruskies in this situation, far from it.
But are you trying to say they didn't play their part in WWII? Or have I misunderstood?
