#1 "We've given the Bear the odd poke,
But... Stalingrad? Surely you joke?
Take -- bitte! -- our Right,
Without even a fight!
Most sincerely,
The Woke Deutsches Volk"

#2 Ha ha!

How can you not draw parallels with Nazi Germany again!

We've already drawn it here, and we don't even have to be Russian to do it.😕

#3 Seriously -- do Russians buy this crap? No one in the west gives a rat's ass about Poltava, Borodino, or Stalingrad.

I *really* hope no one outside Russia buys into this. How stupid would you have to be?

#4 ^ don't worry, they'll be plenty.

#5 Yep. Angry about Stalingrad. That's it.

Idiots. The west has the same fear about Russia now as it did in the early 1980s. They are aggressive. Want to keep their invasion corridors secure (which they were in the 1980s, they just couldn't have one in Poland going free) and have nukes.

Other than that most people don't give 3 shits about the greying geriatric bear.

#6 This is domestic propaganda. Everyone does it. They have to tell their people that the Yanks are all coming for 'em don't they? Everyone does it.

'Persuadable people' and all that.

#7 But I just love their total ZFG ranting 'journalism'. There's no PC lawyerspeak or circumlocutory narrative about what is decent and good and how to protect it.

Just a lot of 'Aleksey Arestovich
is a son of a dirty bitch.
Don't believe a thing he says!
He lies all the time.
Wait... does this rhyme?
Wow! Let's take it to press!'

#8 BS

Most Europeans probably don't remember what went on in Poltava or Borodino. Stalingrad still rings a bell but few would want to have it happened the other way round.

#9 Do they remember the crushing of the Hungarians, Poles, and Czechs by you know who?

#10 Some how they forget that DeGaulle told the Americans to leave and they did, except for the ones in Normandy.

#11 East Berlin 1953, Budapest 1956, Prague 1968, Warsaw 1981... all well remembered.

#12 Mr. Wife and I stood witness with the crowd in Prague’s Charles Square (Karlovo námÄ›stí) that night in 1991 when they waited to see if the Soviet tanks were going to come over the border. Václav Havel was president then — his spine was well-tempered steel.

#13 They must have found out about my "Avenge Poltava!" bumper sticker.

#14 By saying the West wants revenge for Stalingrad they are saying the west = Nazis. Not subtle but not surprising.

#15 Heard some real zingers from all sides involved.

"We must get involved because transgenders are oppressed and underrepresented in the defense of Ukraine."

The call only lasted as long as Hood vs. Bismark, but it did sortie.

#16 Russians only talk about what they see on media, Russian and western.

They think the official positions of governments of the west is to tout homosexuality and pedophilia. For them, that is a choice.

They choose no.
