Seems like people assume that end of WW2 signaled some magic switch in European antisemitism.

Jews often couldn't return home, because it was either destroyed or other people settled here. Some stories ended in murders of said Jews trying to return home.

Israel at that point had to happen, because nobody really cared about what happens to Jews now, and nobody really cared to bring people like Adolf Eichmann to justice.

That said, modern Israel is a fascist country. But those that doubt reasons for its very creation are absolutely misled.

Taco Don already functionally stopped all aid and arms supply to Ukraine and trying his hardest to ignore Ukraine, and will probably chicken out from helping Taiwan defend itself too in case latter gets invaded.

So that's just China being asshole too and wanting Russia to succeed, because that'd mean you can take a dump on international laws and have benefits that outweigh repercussions.

If whatever remains of free democratic world won't get its shit together soon - we will just get picked apart eventually by those last iteration imperialists.

Poor Reagan is also spinning in his frying pan all the time due to GOP nowadays French kissing Russians.

Typical rapist mindset though - getting angry when victim fights back.

That's repeating theme in Russian history though.

Back in 18th and 19th centuries French was spoken by Russian elites and wannabe aristocrates more than Russian.

In later USSR period Russians wanted everything American and dreamed to become Americans. As Western media started creeping in, fashion started creeping in, obtaining some Levi's pair of jeans meant you're the coolest guy around, would also mean you could have problems with police. But Western way of life with how it was portrayed, seemed superior in every way to what people had in decaying Soviet Union. Democracy with those charismatic leaders also seemed like a dream compared to Soviet increasingly geriatric leadership (oh the irony).

So, searching through Russian news, I found like 1 mention of any casualties in 10 successful oil industry strikes.

So that's just mostly peaceful civilian oil bases getting hit, that supply peaceful oil to peaceful refineries that then supply peaceful gas to peaceful Russian war logistics and other parts of their peaceful war machine.

You're just holding Ukraine by much higher standards. While Russia deliberately kills civilians and then says "US made us do it", so it's okay. And Ukraine trying to carefully disarm the aggressor can also be labeled just as bad as aggression itself and blamed on US.

Man, your worldview is so warped it hurts. And worst of all - you've tried to tell a Ukrainian that we should just "get over that" while Russia continues to do terroristic acts just for the sake of doing them.
