garbage in garbage out education and media system I presume.
In our many years of boating in Greece, the only d1ckhead who didn't give us enough sea room had a russian flag on the back of his powerboat. Sample size of 1 enough for me.
Konigsberg is Poland's prize for it's efforts.
It has tooled up for a reason. Once Russia is committed enough in Ukraine they'll wait for or fabricate a reason to go in.
He used to do that over the blower to Putin in earlier days of this war (well probably ask rather than tell), got a small bit of grief for it on these pages if I remember rightly...
I take interpretations of that twitter account (Visegrad24) with a grain of salt anyway!
Might be true but imagine willing to move to an annexed territory and take over someones house or be willing to adapt a kidnapped child.

It is largely because of Macron and Merkel, why we are where we are. They thought they could be friends with Putins Russia, but he has shown time and time again he can't be trusted. I'm always weary of these western leaders banging this negotiation and deescalation drum. Makes you wonder how far and deep have the Russians infiltrated European institutions.
That first paragraph makes no sense. Making eye contact pretty much anywhere in Ireland results in a hello regardless of who you are or where you're from.
I lived in south Korea and while I wouldn't say they were as smiley or open they were welcoming and approachable.
The many, many Russians who lived/passed through Busan on the other hand were boorish, rude and sometimes outright thugs. Many worked on ships but there were plenty there with their families too and their behaviour was just as bad, worse than what you'd see in Marbella in August.
Same scenes in south east Asia, actually worse because they at least had some sort of respect for the Koreans but generally berated and degraded south east Asians at times. Didn't see many in Vietnam mind you but the German backpackers there were little arseholes but nothing like I'd seen elsewhere.
Dunno, they are all tarred with the same brush now. Pariahs and brutal scum, both those participating in the SMO and those who support same back home or abroad and those who say nothing. It will take many, many years for ordinary Russians to be respected again.
Sorry I meant to say Belarus not Iran.

You're not allowed to have a nuke in your house if you live next to a Russian but he can have one in his house.
I, on the other hand have never met a pleasant russian, and I've met a fair few.
Owning a shelf of books with more words than pictures would be enough to keep either of those morons away from your property.
I reckon there tentacles go far and deep across Europe, especially in France and Germany
You think Poland will deliberately start World War 3?
These would be the people Putin came to save
Effectively forcing Ukrainian to fight Ukrainian. There's no depths that Russia won't sink to. Such a rotten waste of life. I really hope a lot more fled than perished.
I've spent a good many years living abroad in different Country's, and I'd hesitate to define a whole population as having a particular trait by virtue of the Country they came from. I've lived in Russia, and made many friends there, and for me, they're the finest. But having said that, Russians do have an arrogant approach to every one else, especially when they are abroad. They will push ahead of the queue, are very demanding, or what the older generation Irish would say " ignorant" behaviour. And that's before the Wodka kicks in.' They just take over the space they happen to be in.
So sad.
Don't wear black and carry around non lethal pistols in Russia.
Likely to get your car bashed in.
And to think when I was in primary school. We got a tour of Mitchelstown Caves. And learned of stalactites and stalagmites.
Different times, Different countries.
And seemingly Lukashenko's son was flown out to China for whatever reason.
I met a nice guy at the top of a mountain in the US, that we had both hiked. He was a medical doctor and he was settled in a rural us town.
I also know one who seems decent who works in quant trading for a hedge fund.
But I have come across them in India, yelling at some Indians like they are trash. I would have pushed them off the boat if I was the Indian dude.
Shouldn't laugh, but that last sentence is very apt for the situation in Ukraine too.
Another public warning from the US NSC to Ukraine. This is the third time.
We have been very clear with the Ukrainians privately – we’ve certainly been clear publicly – that we do not support attacks inside Russia,” said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby
Another quote from the same source just for balance:
"But ultimately, President Zelenskyy and his military commanders decide what they’re going to do from a military perspective, and they decide what they’re going to do with the equipment that has been provided to them and that they now own," the White House representative said.
I had thought that was a typo when I saw it.
Don't you see yet kermit? The US doesn't care where Ukraine attack, they just have to pretend to care.
Is that then 50% of the 972 received!!!!!!!!!!!!
