Their nationalist ‘EGO’ is the major obstacle preventing them from joining the rest of the world. They prefer to invade, brutalize, starve and murder because it satisfies their sadistic thirst for power at all costs.
Including mass deportations and executions of their own citizens. But of course in those days everything was done ‘for the good of the people’. As we all know, the only people who benefit from such dishonorable acts are the criminals who have forced otherwise good Russian men into a state of submission and silence for fear of their lives and the lives of their loved ones. The same breed of criminals are in control of Russia today. The continue to ‘spoon feed’ the general population with sweet tasting falsifications and misrepresentations of their deplorable actions. While steadily removing obtacles to their strong hold on power by removing news agencies, political parties and oppostion protestors.
Only the names have changed. It is still ‘buisness as usual’.

Ukrainians and other Slavic and Non-Slavic Neighboors will do well for themselves by asserting their seperate identities from that of ‘Slavic Russia’. Russia deserves to be cast into isolation until such a time comes that they will admit to their horrific crimes against many millions.

Diplomatic ties should be severed also. There is nothing to be gained by ‘talking with the Russians’

Historical record proves that Russia is a theif and a murderer.

One cannot associate with either without suffering terrible losses.
