He (DaveUkr) is not Russian. He is ordinary ordinary rusofob, He is "Вырусь".
That's kind of sums up the fucked up logic of some certain people. If I don't support Putin - I'm not Russian, i'm fascist russophobic nаzi
Once I was born Russian - I can't change my nationality. But I won't argue with you since you're a small time. Most of us remember your posts like "there is no Russian military in Crimea", you have to be brave to post here after such assumptions. Or else.
I had some extremely boring free time recently so I was thinking about things and occasionally recalled one of Dark Blade's posts (No, I'm not thinking about c-rpg forums all the time, I'm not a nerd
). And what came to my mind is that people who argue about West or East (EU/NATO or Russia) are using different levels of argument. One speaks about quality of life and the other one speaks about culture.
If someone says that Ukraine can easily exist without any relations with Russia then he has a bad knowledge about how things worked in the past. The integration to EU is a good thing in a long run but is very dangerous in the short run economically-wise. Putin is trying to untie Ukraine rapidly to make it economy crush to tie Ukraine harder in future. There are a lot of economical ties that exist to exist (that's like buying something from kids just to buy it and give money), a lot of production that is used exclusively by Russia (mostly because it's not standardised and/or outdated for the rest of the world). It's a good plan but a risky one. If Ukraine somehow manages to survive this, Russia is going to have hard times losing such an important area of influence. That's why I don't like Putin, he's gambling with the future of his people pretending to have everything passing by his plan.
