Those were other countries. It does make a difference to what is wanted to be done. Russian politics don't treat Russia as other countries. I am not talking about the ethics but simply the facts.

And Germany and Poland aren't partitioned anymore, would you want your country messed with that way?

@pawian
Ripping apart a country is not the right solution. And it isn't going to happen, so they should stop "looking forward" to it like vultures waiting to eat a dead body of animal.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with Russia, only the people running it.

@Crow
There is no "Slavic Empire". Slavic countries are both different and similar, but not the same. Are you crazy?
Also, if there was it wouldn't be called "Serbia". Instead one of the more important Slavic countries, Poland or Russia I would guess would control, being worldwide pretty much the most important, more or less.

Poland and Russia interestingly are the opposite ends (culturally I mean) of Slavs, also with the most animosity.

I know it's a classical music thread, but I want to say Nadezhda Batoeva has recently been made prima ballerina of the Mariinsky.

I "advise" you to never say that.


Everything? You're forgetting an over large ego. Russia is the largest country in the world but it's smaller than his ego, somehow.

Go out and tell people you're a Nazi. Obviously, being a non supporter of Putin is extremely opposite from Nazi, but it's both kind of suicidal idiocy.

Actually, there have been Russian people criticising publicly, though a lot left Russia right after, not all.

Russia is different. It's easy to judge, not so easy to be in the situation where nothing can be done, only it's better just to not think about.

A tsar is royal. Putin is not. That is the difference.

No, I see your point of view. By principal, I agree, but I'm not 100% sure about.


Fear, not putting a fair system first, other reasons. It's complicated.


You really think so? With no thought to the achievements even in art forms not mentioning the many other fields. What about the ballet, writings, music, painters? Russia is in purity a country of art, not flourishing as it could under censorship. It's sad really that the government destroys Russia in purity, but I guess it can help art in a way, many Russian people have always used art forms to escape from unpleasant lives.


More war is more destruction, which leads to unfixable evil which leads to permanent misery. Everyone is just in a constant cycle of misery, happiness is just a small escape which has to end quickly. Why won't this horror just end?

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]


Death. It's preferable to this hellhole that is called "life". No one has it better, not even if they think so. Life = misery.
Probably something might be done when people are starving to death and there are dead people in the streets.


Of course. There is a way in art, but it must be kept hidden anything that goes against the rules of the leaders. Not worthless though, it's beautiful.

It goes beyond politics. This is a question of worthlessness... A fair and peaceful world might be worth living in.

@Miloslaw
Not just Russia. Existence anywhere at this time. It will always be the same. Just misery, everywhere. Nothing is better or worse, everything is misery. Who can someone be to complain about life in Russia, they could be shot in Ukraine by horror, just pure evil governs the entirety of the world.

Life is meant to be misery and suffering. There is no true happiness.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]


Happy is fake. Only misery is real.


I know. It's just a matter of realising happiness is fake. Most never do, living whole lives not knowing the truth. Maybe not knowing is better.... What is truth? That turns to a paradox, it can't be known what is without truth. Does it even exist?


Whenever I did that I was even less happy thinking I was alone in misery... Which isn't true, everyone is ultimately just waiting to die, it makes no difference how, it's all just pointless misery.

@mafketis
A lot of Russian art is suppressed. Who knows what geniuses have never been seen because of supression...

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]


Most do not think so strangely. Russians are and have always been not much worse at imagining "happiness" as any others.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]


Maybe. It isn't a view on life anyone is happy with (well, obviously).


I avoided that, I don't want to waste anyone's time by ranting for hours. I don't want to think of him in a way of hatred either. I can't, mafketis was the first person to reply to me at all on PF, I always liked him, I'm not going to think of him saying things like that (which what is said is something deserving of a punch in the face, but I'm sure he doesn't think that of Russia and all Russians as a whole).


It isn't even Slavs, it's human beings. What's the real point? One person being killed in a war is terrible not only for them but for others. Little children even are killed and their families. That is a horror.


Definitely not.


Like in the Soviet Union (of course not a wall). That is what Putin wants, Soviet times. I hope not.

Everyone could be dead before winter. There could be no West, no Russia. It just needs a few nuclear bombs and everyone's dead.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]

@Miloslaw
It isn't about whether or not Russian. Supporting innocent people (including children and babies) being killed is a matter of humanity. War as principal is evil, even if Ukraine is run by Nazis (isn't the president Jewish? My question is why would a Jew be a Nazi when Nazis mass killed Jews? It makes no sense).

@Velund
The world needs a lot of people to keep going, and everything would be destroyed. Society would go back to beginning.

He's an idiot, but the overreaction is crazy. He can't do anything to Russia anyway, it doesn't matter what he says.

Please no SS.
It's just pointless and dumb to overreact or react at all to a stupid old man. They should focus on important things, like ending the Ukraine war and working towards helping fix Ukraine and Russia while handing power to someone else immediately.

If anyone tried to make it happen, there would be no "if". Russia will not be destroyed.


This is the key word... some are more easily lied to than others.
