During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. “Fighting to the last Ukrainian” really is something they want and it sickens me.
I’m from Portugal, a country that has no history with either Russia or Ukraine. No one here knows anything about the history of both countries. So it was very surprising, that when this war broke out for there to be an absolute insane support for Ukraine. People here are deluded that Ukraine can still win this war, they have no clue what’s going on in the front lines. Even the tiniest achievement by Ukraine is celebrated by the media. It’s ridiculous how much anti-Russian sentiment there is. Our participation in the war has been pretty much non-existent, so the fanatic support for Ukraine is even more ridiculous.
Hey this war opened my eyes , I realized west is full of bigoted racists specially those who are in the EU
God damn, right? I’d think I was in 1930s Germany for the shit I see and hear said about Russian people
In the first days of the war , Tolstoy to Russian cats got cancelled. I was so angry when they rejected Paralympic Russian team because they refused to sign a proclamation for not supporting the war. It was so disgusting, how can any Olympic dommittee support this Nazi type discrimination to Olympians and athletes I just don’t understand. Then I saw Russian paralympic team singing their national anthem in a self made video. I felt so bad… so bad… I am in full support of Russia and Russian people for this SMO. Down with NATO nazis.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so bloody common. Goes to show how pervasive propaganda is
Excuse me for asking Lusitanian comrade , but there was no dismissal of Russian history professors at universities in Portugal, because of the war, I saw some Portuguese journalists commenting on this aspect. and also the Ukrainian refugees were asking for the closure of the Portuguese communist party?
Yes, one Russian college teacher was fired because he was accused of spreading Russian propaganda (so much for free speech). He wasn’t even allowed to defend himself. The accusation was started by a TV political commentator (absolute clown, claims Putin is far-left), the University fired the teacher and reiterated their support for Ukraine.
Also yes, we have some Ukronazis in our country. There are also Ukrainians that are pro-Russia, so Ukrainian immigrants are a mixed bag. But the Communist party has been taking a beating in the media. They frequently have to assert that they have no connections to Putin, because news reporters keep asking them the same questions (with obvious malicious intent). This war has been an excuse for rampant anti-communism in the media. Anything goes these days.
EU commies in a nutshell … "I am not bed with Poutine " have to repeat endlessly XD
Thanks a lot for the answer, all the best to you.
