I have nothing against Russia but you people are so brainwashed and unable to see the light.
None of the said above - some of us just happen to disagree with you.

Russia is crumbling, the economy is crap, 1/4 of Russian males don't live past 55 years old.
Russia has been crumbling for - oh, the last 800 years or so.

I could go on and on about Russia's problems, but while the world becomes more open and tolerant, Russia goes backwards, it is becoming more intolerant, more racist, more isolated.
A lot of this "openness" and "tolerance" is skin deep and really not that important in the long run.
I think it is Russia that has no future! All the ex USSR countries that distanced themselves from Russia and became members of the EU are doing infinitely better.

Crimea is Russia.
Alaska is Russia.
Everything in the world is Russia, except for Kosovo.
Kosovo is Serbia.

Became members?In fact, the one and only are the Baltic States. The others didn't and won't in the nearest future. So, the post has a little sense, because there are no such countries (the Balts were a special case).
Poles and Czechs are different story. Absolutely.
Ukraine had different economy than them.
The ran away former Ukrainian president has Ukrainian parents. He wasn't much pro-Russian, btw, mostly pro-himself. And his politics was to lend money from everywhere - our money, European money. Typical for our neighbors.
I think, we shouldn't have reacted the way we did, but we can't be responsible for all the mess, our neighbors did during their indendence.
Some of our neighbors mostly collapsed, when they became independent. Moldova, Tajikistan... They ruined their economy and nowdays they came here to work.
In fact our neighbors use our legacy. We built a computer factory in Moldova. They still use it, they produce not computers, but medical equipment.

"Alaska is Russia"- This is exactly what I dislike about the "Russian mindset"- it is delusional, borderline insane.
Russia is very good at bullying weak countries like Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and many of the other ex-USSR republics but they don't have the balls to mess with the big dogs( EU, USA and China)
Now, if Alaska is Russia, why don't you guys send some Russian troops to Alaska to claim it back? You would get your ass destroyed by the US military.
Of course war is hell when the man with a gun is over there right in your face. One can see plain as day who it is. But in my view Russians, rebels and separatists however they are described are kind of driving blindly into a war governed by principles destined to rip peoples apart rather than coalesce. I'm not so sure they are asking the right questions or really any questions about this war.
Just knee-jerk reactions which compounds itself after each and every killing. It appears great Russian minds are going to waste on this issue. We don't hear a peep.
In this video the journalist Bogdan Butkevich speaks that it is necessary to kill 1,5 million inhabitants of Donbass, and to use Donbass as a resource.
