Wait....we aren't out to get them?

I was just warming up my bogeyman routine. Oh well.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Tell me how these 20th century world-war analogies can lead to anything positive or constructive in relation to dealing with Russian expansionist nationalism and ambition in 2014?

Evil in Kremlin is raising its horde
Feeling nor shame nor remorse.
This rabid beast can't be stopped by a word -
It understands only force.
Forces of light versus forces of dark -
It's just that simple again.
Load your ammo, your skills are your luck,
Let's put an end to this bane!

Bombs! Bombs away!
Russia, good-bye!
Evil must pay,
Evil must die!
Fire from the sky!
Th ultimate goal:
Evil must die,
Russia must fall!

Country of slavery, hatred and lie,
Land of corruption and spite,
Russia will always attack and deny
Freedom, and justice, and right.
For those who live and for heroes who fell,
Prove that they didn't fall in vain!
Put on your helmets, send devil to hell,
Let's put an end to this bane!

To be more serious, speeding up Russian economical collapse is a way to go. And be ready for conventional (or countersabotage or anti-Russian backed terrorism  defensive war. Invading or large scale bombing of Russia is useless
I understand that Europe

Why I am sure that Russian economy will collapse even without sanctions? Because that highly corrupt authoritarian soon to be totalitarian system can't maintain healthy economic climate and no amount of natural resources can change that.  Of cause that may take a decade, or two...


Speaking about economy - As expected, Crimea is enjoying "the best" tourism season ever. Plus some minor stuff like almost no banks left, Passenger Jets flying only to Russia, closed major ports, freelance IT workers moving to other place to live and so on

[smjjames]

They already have anti-russia backed terrorism from Chechenya, and terrorism is just going to harden the popular opinion against Ukraine.

[Descan]

I meant "pseudo-russian" as in "not a Russian citizen* but identifies as Russian in their speech".

I suppose that could be neo-Soviet, but I don't think that's quite the right connotation.

Well, Russia herself might disagree

Albania gained candidate status. I keep thinking about how cool their flag looks.

I've never seen anything more seeming with hatred towards Russia and Russians since the times of Nazi propaganda. It's a brilliant find for any Russian propagandist.
The lyrics (?) slightly remind me of this Yugoslav Wars-era Serbian nationalist song full of sheer love and friendship towards former brotherly peoples of former Yugoslavia on the other side of the front line.

EDIT:

It looks like the West really is out to get us.

Don't worry Sergarr - the average Joe in Western countries doesn't hate Russia and Russians, as many American forum members would tell you. A few years of intense propaganda from all major media outlets will surely fix this, though!

[Helgoland]

Guardian, next to nobody in the West hates Russia. I'm probably one of the people you're referring to, and I frickin love it! Really looking forward to visiting St. Petersburg again sometime... There's lots of people who are afraid of Russia, though - I think I already mentioned my grandfather was worried about me getting drafted, didn't I?
The thing is, Russia as a country is great, but for one second try to imagine what Putin's actions look like from outside of Russia. Or, maybe better, think of rabid Republicans in the US who claim that Russia is the no. 1 geopolitical enemy, and do an east-west flip.

You're like that really great guy who's fun to be around, but who has sudden outbursts of violence, self-esteem issues and a drinking problem. I.e. not someone you want to be around with without a well-thought-out backup plan.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Actually, the Republicans have been getting increasingly cozy with Putin. His right-wing agenda and religious rhetoric resonates with them.

[Sergarr]

Obviously this is because we are the final boss of the world.

The verse is written by a Russian, BTW. Very far from being as bright as his Russian verses  Show me hate toward Russians here, I see desire to destroy the country here

[vagel7]

Russia is a country full of great culture and all that. But it has always been a very imperialistic and dangerous country. Hell, the Baltics do a lot of business with Russia, but are always very careful because experience shows that screwing over foreigners is something that is done as a sport.

In all seriousness, aside from Russia having absolutely nothing to do except drink and invade countries (making it a rather boring place) or travel its copious amounts of forest (which would be pretty awesome if going in the forest didn't get you killed by wolves and eaten by mushrooms), there is little to hate Russia for. What to hate Russians for?
Though then again, the West is probably out to get you, just as the East is out to get the West. States don't care whether the people on either side don't want to fight, they will fight, the victors will then retroactively be 'justified.'

[TD1]

All of that made 100% sense.

Except the Mushroom bit. Man eating mushrooms? Never mind man eating, is there even a such thing as a carnivorous mushroom?
