@Andro well, that's why I didn't say "fuck Russian people". in politics, the governments define the decisions of a country, even though individuals may disagree. so, evidently, I'm referring to the government.
@LietuvaiteMetaliste This isn't the first time Russia acted cruel to the Ukraine. During the Soviet Era, they took away pretty much all of the Ukraine's food during a bad Winter. Specifically to make everyone starve to death.
@LietuvaiteMetaliste Yep. Deporting tens of thousands of Lithuanians and Estonians to freeze to death in Siberia, using "Destruction Batallions" (Death Squads) to murder civilians in Estonia, propping up Communist Dictatorships, sending all their POWs to freeze to death in Siberia ...
That second to last panel needs America in the background yelling 'Called it!' Cause literally, every news channel in the States got obsessed with that whole situation and starting screaming about how it was gonna escalate into WW3 for months before things actually got violent. For some reason, it was big enough news that Ukrainian politics beat out stuff blowing up in the Middle East. For non-Americans, the only things that have ever beaten out explosions in the Middle East for news headlines here are mass murders in American small towns, North Korea pretending it has nukes, and a lottery jackpot worth more than the GDP of most 3rd world nations combined.
@Barracuda "Oh, September already? My, how the years just fly."
Seriously. It's pretty similar to the Israel-Palestine conflict, in some ways: an ancient territorial dispute that festers over time and is never resolved, mostly resulting in more death and little progress each time violence breaks out again. Only this time there are more tanks and fewer spies.
And here I actually HAD hopes that the cultural and historical information of SatW is correct and educational. Now I have my doubts. Western "verified" sources are a bit different from a history book... I wrote a wall of text for naught about the subject in "Nordic Council" thread as a response, and while I'd like to just copy it as many times as it takes to get the point across, somehow I believe russians will still be "evil drunks" of the world...
Besides, you really should change your stereotypes. Vodka and hats are good, but outdated. Modern russian is the person, who uses russian regardless of situation or environment. Russian game, he asks: "Русские есть?(*Any russians?*)" Non-russian game, he asks: "Наши есть?"(*Any locals here?*)
The hatred towards and nonacceptance of English as the global language is the russian trend now.
It's strange to see that some comics actually were translated to russian, yet on the account page - russians aren't anywhere near the ranked members of the site. So easy that the rest of the world can understand English...
Such incompetence in describing the theme. OSCE (if you know what it is, of course, author) had inspected these convoys and not found any kind of weapon.
BTW, it's just stupid to deliver weapons in convoys that are IN PUBLIC OBSERVATION. Russia has other ways to do it, because Ukraine doesn't control border in the area of conflict.
@sagas
>military convoy (tanks, artillery, soldiers) — your link
>civil convoy (trucks) — theme of this comic-pic
I see the difference between these two things. Or had you wanted to confirm my second proposition and I'd just misunderstood you?
@von_Richten Ya... Funny you should mention convoys and Russia. They aren't able to deliver weapons to their own troops via convoy. Nice to see things haven't changed.
Sucks for the medias tooooooooo!! Just came to know how those celebrities in Western world said "OH it's Russia who shut the plane", "Russia is everything evil"......The piliticals starts to make bullshits without any evidence!!
