Not exactly comparable with genocide, is it?


sure, and good thing neither did happen


Sure thing, buddy. Flagged as kremlinbot.


What makes you think that? Are we discussing "Understanding the War in Ukraine" or calling each other names?

I'm not support this war in any sense. But at least I understand the reasons behind it.

I'm actually not awared of any sign of genocide from russians to ukranians (and vice verse). If you do, plese enlight me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor, followed by suppression of Ukrainian culture until 1991.

Russia continues to deny Holodomor to this day, and in the recent speech Putin called the whole idea of Ukrainian independence a fiction, and now he has declared a war on Ukraine. I don't see how this has any similarities to US-Mexico relations. Does the US deny that Mexico has the right to exist and is it preparing to wage a war on Mexico to replace its government and absorb the country?


I was thinking you mentioned some fake "genocide" happened during the last 10 years. Both Russia and Ukraine blame this on each other sometime.

Yes, Holodomore did happened, and like it mentioned in the article it was only a part of a huge Soviet famine of 1932–1933 which affected not only ukranians but almost all nations in the south part of USSR including russians.

It's a shame that modern Russia not recognized this as a genocide, and not only ukranian genocide. Because it really happened. 100 years ago. Under USSR and Joseph Stalin.

So, if that is a valid point for Ukraine to join NATO now, would it be fair to Mexico to join Russia Military Alliance, because they will tell the world, they suddenly afraid of USA expansion and following culture suppression? I mean, what USA did to native americans.
