Topic: Russophobia as a phenomenon - page 2. (Read 518 times)

The isolation of Russia will lead to its death as an empire. The only thing that allowed Russia to exist was the sale of raw materials. It is necessary to put the monster in a cage and not feed it, that is, to impose a ban on any trade transactions.

Most firms and international franchises left Russia, nothing was "banned" or "banished". The RF GDP is shrinking more than the rest of the world, millions of qualified people had fled the country and the population of the RF has been shrinking for decades. You are confusing land mass and mineral resource with richness. The RF is underdeveloped compared to any country in Europe and is going to get worse.

What are you talking about? What invaders were those that Putler banished? Blacklisting citizens that don't want anything to do with Russia doesn't really count .
Maybe you mean the companies that left Russia because Russia got sanctioned? Did Putin take credit from that? He had zero to do with that.

And yeah, your country is rich and would be doing just fine without one of the most corrupted leadership in the world.
By the way are you going to investigate companies that make your windows and balconies because they seem to be death traps .

Since Putin banished USA invaders out of Russia, our life have improved considerably. Sanctions don't work because Russia is the biggest and richest country in the world.

What are you even talking about? First you said that imperialist America robbed you blind, and now you are bragging how sactions don't work and you get to buy some of that stuff your "robbers" sell you ? Because you get to sell The rest of the confiscated stuff when you rebrand the store? And even that host was mocking the quality of the coffee.

I have no clue what your point is.

A very important thing Russians need to be doing, now, is, learning how to make all these quality products for themselves. This will bring the price down through competition, and it will strengthen Russia against REAL sanctions.

No matter how "bad" Putin is, but the fact is we live much better now than we lived back in 80 - 90 years of the last century. Listen what this man from Texas says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA7IfeGKrGc

Lol, if you really lived there i am amazed how little you seem to know about privatization in Russia and who stole from you. Maybe you are just lying and trying to sell populist simplified viewpoints, or you were taught that and actually believe in it. I can't tell.

And it's weird how you idolize Putin as a savior given how much has he stolen money from corruption of Russia. Do you happen to know what his networth is? I don't think so. No one has good estimate because all the corruption in the Russia makes it easy for him to hide his wealth so he might as well be richest man alive without us knowing it. Just the watch collection we see him wearing is worth multiple times of his official salary.

Putin does't care about russians. He is slaughtering them by pushing them to a pointless war with huge casualities, without giving soldiers proper training or gear.
No wonder people want to escape from Russia. You just might disappear or fall from a window just by speaking your mind. All just to flex his fragile manhood.

And Russia is big country, not "most" of them are supporting puting. Most of them are too scared to have an opinion because you can get jailed from having it.

Here's some Russian opinions inside Russia that are not broadcasted from state tv https://www.youtube.com/@1420channel

Best point ever!!! The sad part is that Putin and his ideals will not live forever. If Medvedev were in control, all moves to make peace would gradually fade away (if not rapidly), and Russia would again be plunged into the 1900s.

Throughout all history, there have been times where nations were peaceful towards their citizenry, and times where they were not. The lands of Great Britain were often lands of great slavery hundreds of years ago. It wasn't until the king was forced into the Magna Carta contract with his nobles in the year 1215 that people started to have really good peace.

In America, the US Constitution does an even better job of giving peace and control to the people... through elections and the jury and the courts (if they are properly used).

The US Constitution is outdated in ways. Nobody who wrote it ever considered the technological advances that would come about in the world. There needs to be an upgrade where the people have even greater, faster, control... without being controlled in their decisions and freedom. The blockchain might be used to provide some of this.

If the people of Russia don't use the strength of freedom that they have found in Putin, to solidify their freedom like the Magna Carta and the US Constitution do in their countries, Russia will lose their freedom when Putin is gone... which could happen any day. Nobody knows what will happen then. But it could easily be a road back to the days of Stalin.

Use Putin as a stepping stone to lock in your freedom.

Did you live in Russia back in the 90-es years of the last century? I did. I was hungry many times. I lost my apartment because "ownership" appeared. I remember how people from the USA bought the most profitable businesses in my city where they didn't pay salaries to Russian workers. We don't want to happen this again. That is why most people who live in Russia support Putin. We will not let you come back to rob Russia again!

Agree, there are quite a few Russians that support the current government, but they are not to be hated, they are to be pitied. They do not have access to proper information and cannot really complaint or express their opinion in public nor verify what the TV feeds them daily.

The current RF government and the military upper ranks, these are to be hated. It is despotism and medieval thinking at its best, pretty much everything that is wrong in the world with weapons on the side.

  Interesting offer! It's a pity that during the Second World War they did not take advantage of your wonderful offer.

Pretty much this.

I do not see any Russians being attacked or harassed en masse anywhere in the world currently. Sure, there are Russians who live in other countries and are cheering Putin on, but honestly, most Russians don't. And the only reason why Russians in Russia are so overwhelmingly "for Putin" is because of manufactured consent, threat of being sent to a work camp and never coming back and direct threats of executions for anyone living higher than the first floor.

Sweeping "all Russians" under the same rug is wrong, I believe. That kind of thinking is WW2 era xenophobia which has no place in our modern times.  We are all the same but with different, ever-changing state of minds.

Education and evidence are the only weapons we should use to fight against ignorance and hatred.

All the "information" on this post is false. Putin's popularity is not measured by any trustable standard, 2 Million Russians already voted with their feet by migrating, even to countries that are not really that attractive. And the population of Russia has been on the decline for more than a two decades.

The RF invasion of Ukraine is only related to Putin's ambitions in the territory, there is no ideological background to it. Many Ukrainians gave their lives during WW II fighting against the III Reich. The Soviet Union had at least one prime minister of Ukrainian origin. Ukraine has effectively stopped the RF army and recovered territory. The population of Ukraine is enough to fight, because today's wars are much more about technology, training and moral (hint, a Vagnerite taken from a prison to the front classes as "low moral" and "immoral" btw).

 
He/She is sure about everything. That one common problem in the world: the people who are wrong are the ones that are "more sure" about their stuff.

This guy bottom line is that he would not want to pay to help Ukraine, and finds all short of "arguments" to justify.

Putin's popularity in Russia is about 80%. Is it like this because of all the Russophobes who left Russia? Lol. But you gotta consider that many of the Russophobes left Russia to go to Ukraine to help with the police action against Ukraine. They aren't really Russophobes, are they? But they DID leave Russia, didn't they... to go fight in Ukraine? Lol.

Now, compare that with Ukrainophobes. It's like 80% of the Ukrainian population left Ukraine. Why? Could they be on Russia's side, simply getting out of the way so that Russia could do its job against the Ukraine Nazi's?

Ukrainophobes were fed up with the Ukraine government long before Zelensky moved in. Zelensky was the final straw. Ukraine's population is so small, now, that all the money and armament that the US and Nato are shipping in isn't enough to stop the Russians.

You plainly don't know what you are blabbing about.

I do not think that being forced to live your country or leaving your country to secure your personal safety and your family's makes you a Russophobe. Russian citizens who leave the country do so because they are not in favor of the conflict/ current Russian politics or the government. Most of them can develop negative feelings towards their politicians, leaders and the government as a whole, but I do not see a reason for someone to antagonize the Russian people when there are not in control of what Putin does.

Unless, I am missing something about the Russian society. Do Russian who stay in the country antagonize those who left?

Certainly, Putin speech does not help...

I must say that there are many Russophobes among the Russians, because in large numbers they are fleeing Russia.

Well, at least I'm on. You are more-off, or completely off.

You are a moron or you are pretending to be one. I truly believe that there is something seriously wrong with you.

Right! Let's get rid of war crimes. Let's get rid of non-war crimes.

To keep from getting pushed into more war crimes, Russia is conquering Ukraine... Ukraine, the gigantic war crime set up by the US.
