      What a sheltered westerner thing to say about the soviet occupation and mass deportations.

          Tell me your people have never lived under genocidal soviet rule without telling me.

          Tell me, do you also cheer for Israel? Or why are genociders only okay when it’s your side?

            Since it should be obvious from my comment but you’re not good at comprehensive reading: no I don’t like fascists.
            Bless the Soviets for getting rid of a lot of them.
            I feast on your tears.

              So you’re OK with Russian fascists but not Jewish ones. That’s kinda racist but OK.

                In case you missed WW2 history, the Soviets fought and beat the fascists.
                Or you wouldn’t be crying about it so hard.

                  The soviets, sure. They sent people to the meat grinder. Especially people from the soviet “republics” that weren’t Russia. Yes, our people also fought the nazis as part of the soviet empire, but our reward for it was half a century of occupation by the red fascists.

                  There were also plenty of non soviets fighting against the nazis, but you make it sound quite a bit simpler than it really was, when the truth is that two empires clashed and the one that won was barely better than the one that lost.

                  Or is your mind so simplistic that you think beating “the bad guys” makes the other side “the good guys”? If that was the case, we’d be considering Americans the good guys because of WWII too.

                    I am sorry but the US not exactly against the Nazis. They appointed a bunch of Nazi war criminals in positions in NATO.

                    Who exactly is “our people” you’re talking about.
                    And I bet I can show you how they were mostly aligned with nazi Germany. Again, no sympathy for them. FAFO
                    Yuo can keep repeating yourself all you want.

                    two empires clashed and the one that won was barely better than the one that lost.

                    LOL who’s simplistic here?
                    They didn’t ‘clash’.
                    One evil empire had only one aim, to destroy the Soviets and communism.
                    The other one beat them and their scummy collaborators at great cost and saved Europe, except for the part the opportunistic US vultures snatched for themselves.

        It was horrible! Hordes of communists tearing through the country, leaving hospitals and schools whereever they went!

          The hospitals and schools existed before them 🤡 do you think Russians are uniquely capable of building schools and hospitals?

            Sure buddy, the massive amount of infrastructure constructed by the Soviets existed before they were there and aliens built the pyramids

              Estonians had, contrary to popular belief, built hospitals, schools, roads and railroads without being forced to do so by the Russians. Weird, I know. Slightly racist of you go think only Russians could achieve something like that.

                Incredibly racist of you to reduce the Soviet Union to “Russians”. Incredibly stupid of you to read “they built a bunch of infrastructure” to mean “there was absolutely nothing there before.”
                Honestly that’s so stupid I have to assume you’re just someone acting obtuse, so I won’t waste more time in you.

                  It was the Kreml that decided we need to be annexed and the Kreml that called the shots in the union.

                  The others were never in control. Yes, I know Stalin was from Georgia. It’s irrelevant, Hitler was also not German yet it was the Germans conquering half of Europe, not “Germany, Austria and others”.

                  So, infrastructure was already being built and you acknowledge it. And yet somehow infrastructure built under orders from the imperialists is something generous rather than just… Continuity on what was going to happen regardless?
