  • What’s the point of asking questions if you’re gonna block?

    What CIA says or doesn’t say is literally, irrelevant. We have plenty of accounts from within Europe.

    That other user very conveniently left out the 3 baltic countries where the vast majority doesn’t want to rejoin. And those 3 countries just so happen to also have much higher gdppc and ppp than the rest.

    You’re not fighting misinformation by being a Stalin apologist. And certainly not with your whataboutism. This isn’t about Cuba… or the US.

    No idea where this 100m+ is from or that communist countries doeant have food. Literally never heard that. Are you just making up myths so you can “debunk” them?

    The famines were created by Stalins collectivisation. His policy dealt the final blow that doomed millions to starvation. They had food. They just didn’t let certain people keep it…

    You’re not fooling anyone. We know things were not great under Stalin. From the famines to the arbitrary dissapearnces and arrests. But keep excusing it.

    It’s so hilarious that you say you fight against ICE, while defending the Soviet’s far worse version of “ICE”. You know how ICE drags people off the street in broad daylight. That’s what happened back then too.



  • Your survey there seems to include most ex Soviet states. But it would seem you forgot atleast 3. I don’t see Lithuania, Estonia or Latvia there. I wonder why you chose to not include them.

    Oh, was it because in Estonia 75% said the dissolution was good (15% bad)

    Latvia because 53% said it was good (35% bad)

    Or Lithuani where 62% said it was good (23% bad), whom in 1991 according to pew, showed that 13% of them rated their lives as “good”. Where as 44% in 2019.

    I have no doubt, that those living in the smaller ex Soviet states were favorable. Their gdppc and ppp are significantly lower than Russias. And they probably think being part of a much larger nation will give them the benefit of a larger economy. That is, until they saw what happened to Ukraine. Which is why almost all of them, except Belarus. Have sought influence elsewhere, mainly China and Turkey.

    Though I’d do like to add one final note. Those who disliked Stalin either fled, hid, or “dissapeared”. What’s left are those who remained loyal or hid well enough. The love for Stalin was not out of respect, it was out of fear.

    We see all the morons in the US praising Trump. No amount of incompetence will ever make them leave the cult. Reminds me of someone…
