Russia sent a million colonists to Crimea after they took it in 2014. Now they're leaving it in droves as they discover it's not safe.

Why is she so scared of an "improperly extinguished cigarette" that "caused no damage"? /s
Harmaahyljetili
I wonder will she also get jail time for "spreading nasty rumors about the Special Operation". Would be such a shame, eh?
tlamstrike
No sympathy from me. My grandma fled Ukraine for America in the 20's when the Russians came for Ukrainian land and took her family's farm.

Wow, I just could not possibly give fewer fucks for this asshole's woes. Fuck em all

Seriously. This bitch needs to be told, "You were sent here after Putin stole this land. You don't belong. Fuck off."
metalrulercid
Yeah, feels great, but you don't belong here. You're cancer. You're invaders. You're murderers and you deserve nothing.

Note to self... Don't colonize a country that has cruise missiles and a rich Uncle Sam.

Yes. Thankfully, it's being corrected with Russian departure.

These people too are victims of Putin. Told they can make a new life. That they're in the right. That they'll be protected by mighty Russia.
Korpikoijari
They are nothing but thieves and murderers like all russkies and they deserve much worse than this.
iusedtodream
Fuck them. They knew enough to make choices. They said Hell yeah I'll take their homes.
CannotBeBanned
No, they don't get to play that card. They agreed to do this. They are an accomplice the same way a getaway driver is.
mmckee44
Seriously? You think they believe Putin? Then why are they fleeing because of a discarded cigarette? NO!! They know full well he lied then
mmckee44
2.... and that he is lying now. These people are just as much scum as Putin himself.

2 words. fuck these fuckers

Sure. Still not appropriate though.

I mean, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out that you were displacing people in their homeland. I dunno mate.
pyroinsomniac
If they're victims of Putin then maybe they should challenge him
FritoParadise
Their first mistake was to believe a slimy piece of shit like him or his government when they've shown for years they're not to be trusted
FritoParadise
It's like saying you feel bad for trump supporters. Why would you feel bad for them when they do this to themselves?
Alavar
You feel the same way about Trump supporters?
FoxyEllie
In a way, yes, to be honest. I don't excuse the trump or the putin supporters, but, I do pity their sad existence in a way.
VitaminBeaPositive
Sorry, fascists are fascists. Fuck em.
ImgurIsMySocialLife
Fuck them, no excuse for anyone occupying someone else's house
TinyBadger101
They're pioneers! I mean that literally. The US exalts our pioneers who did literally the same thing.
textilelover
The colonizers saw "empty" land, they didn't move into already built, very familiar houses. It wasn't right, but it wasn't the same.
TinyBadger101
It wasn't empty. They literally murdered the people who had lived there. It was worse.
DeathLemons
Exactly. This is the same as Israeli's occupying forced-out Palestinian's homes.
Varenvel
have you lived under communism? i did , not saying they are innocent , but when your poor , like really really poor not "west poor">
AgnosticPaladin
I did. Lived under a dictatorship imposed by the Russians. Fvck them if they support Putin's murderous regime.
Varenvel
a lot of them dont or dont really know better becouse they are not allowed to leave the country>
Varenvel
only about 10-15% of all russians was once abroad(outside russia) , there is no free media , there is no free internet , you can go to jail>
Varenvel
and goverment says you be living nice live in new homes(most not knew about war btw) but i guess its better to be on moral pedestal>
Varenvel
and preach rather then be "right" and this comes from person who helped ukraine , and refugee , lots russians are not smaller victims>
Varenvel
know a lot who fled russia becouse "being gay was made ilegal" too , quite few told me "whats life there" but go on , preach from your safe>

Except the land stealing from other sovereign nations isn't ongoing within the US. But yeah, what we did to the locals was bad.

As opposed to all other world powers, that decided their borders with a nice conversation over tea.

I don't think you're making the point you think your making
Hymensmasher420
No, I am. Every country was decided upon bloodshed. What happened isn’t “right” , but being conquered never is.
Slashenaar
So true- "A nice conversation over tea" fuckin lmao cause actually the British empire uhhhhh..... xD
Ludus
"We wish to conquer all the spice lands!"; So you have the best tasting food now, right? The most flavorful of all cuisines?
Slashenaar
To clarify- they conquered a buncha stuff 'over a nice cuppa tea' AND sat down with a cup of tea and just whipped up some ignorant map lines
IMayNotKnowWhatIAmTalkingAbout
Ask anyone on any land. Seriously, there's not anywhere that hasn't been killed over sometime in the last 10k years.
Hymensmasher420
There’s very few places that haven’t seen fighting in the last 100. Especially when focusing on major word powers.

there is nothing in recent history like USA, Canada and Australia.. not even close.

Average person to move because of the machinations of government is unrealistic at best. As far a Natives go, we either need to fully
Someshithead241
Yeah, but its easier to act like its only white people who did it.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
White people did it prolifically, and to a degree where the doing of it then has real impacts now. The same is not true for say, the Sami.
Someshithead241
They did it most recently. Would you not say the same about the likes of Ghengis Khan? Asian history is a fucking shit storm of this kind
Easykehl
Fair. Important to note that land stolen in the past couple decades has more obvious and practical solutions than land stolen centuries ago.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
Up here in Canada the land is still being stolen from FNs.
Easykehl
My point still stands that returning that land stolen from FNs last year would be easier and more obvious than returning, say, Milwaukee.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
You'd think so, but the process of modern stealing is different and not yet considered stealing.
CanadianEngineer
FWIW all land has been stolen at one point or another. It was probably stolen a few times before the most recent time as well.

Israel can nuke the world and it will be tolerated. Because if you disagree with Israel, it is antisemitism....so fucking stupid.

Not really equivalent, since most Israelis were born in Israel after their families were banished from elsewhere in the world. These >>

Russians have all personally moved there in recent years.
chainmaille
Right, they were born in *Israel* and keep bombing and invading *Palestine* while tearing people from their houses.

You Sir need to read a little deeper in history, it's exactly the same https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
Scar1203
That fucking strip of land changes hands faster than cash in a strip club historically.
alcaray
Lately (also like a strip club) it changes hands in one direction only.
LurkerOfDarkness
Like the last 50 times changes were on going, nothing new at all.
alcaray
This is like Republicans claiming that global warming is no big deal because Earth has been much hotter in the past.
Lionskull
land changed hands a bunch sure, but the people weren't oppressed, kicked out of their homes, and treated like second class citizens until>
Lionskull
>Isreal came around and showed what they had learned about oppression from the Nazi regime.
Scar1203
Yes, no oppression after the Crusades at all. Nothing to see there. Every conquest comes with oppression of the defeated party.
donthaveonebrojustlurk
Lol the "we stole it fair and square" argument.
Scar1203
It was a Jewish kingdom at one point but it's been around 2500 years. All the fighting and killing over it still is idiotic. But...
Scar1203
c'est la vie, it's just human nature to fight and kill over stupid shit.
Fatkats93
Valid, but not perfect. Jews fled to Israel to escape white people. Not to make a place more white. America is better example, imo
TheBakersKiller
no, perfect example
HermitBean
Wtf are you even saying? That all jews are some certain "color"? Racist scum.
Fatkats93
What? Racism is about more then color. Consider "color" the gold star Jews had wear throughout history. Racism is about blood and heritage.
wargames
they are making palestine very white.
SeeShark
Dude, half of Israeli Jews are darker than Palestinians. This is just ignorant.
LostDutchy
Yeah I agree. that was a strange comment
LostDutchy
Israelis are escaping shit. Jews believe Palestina is the house of David, and it belongs to them. Same fucking thing.
Fatkats93
Who are you to speak for Jews as if we can be summed up in less then 140 characters.
LostDutchy
You're right, not a human being can be defined in 140c. But political intentions can.
GlenL
And the stealing of Palestinian land/property at gunpoint is what?
Fatkats93
A territory war taking place in a giant displaced persons camp between two factions. Id call it bloody and heartbreaking distraction.
nalananda
They’re actively trying to make it less Palestinian, so there’s that..
Svartlebee
You mean after the Arabs wiped out the locals and initiated a millenia long campaign of slaughter and repression?
WaveMotionGum
Millenia's a long fucking time...imagine trying to kick all the Normands out of England in favor of the Britons.
