viewed a good video on the russian mindset yesterday.
It agreed with other items I have read.

It said the russians view themselves as a superior people. Better than anyone.
They think they are world leaders and live very close to nature. They believe themselves to be peace-loving with a great soul.
They think most other countries want to become russians too, but are denied that by 'nazis' holding them back.
So they went to Ukraine to liberate the Ukrainians from the Nazis.
They expected to be greeted with flowers and apple pies.

One way to measure Russia, and China, is how many asylum seekers want to go there.

Ukrainians and Russians are Slavic people.
I'm convinced there's something wrong with them.
They will fight to the death over a blade of grass.

Oh garbage, Sprint!

russia is worried about the nine pathways of invasion that invaders have taken (Mongols, Turks, Napoleon and Hitler to name just the most well known. So they want either to conquer enough territory to have a buffer of space (So Gens Winter, Frost etc can do their bit) or be able to station forces by natural defences. THAT is why putin decided to invade Ukraine (and Moldova too, soon.)

The Russians pull out their enemies tongues and eat them.

That is very true.

How many people want to immigrate to russia, china or dubai annually?

Who wants to go to America, the UK or Australia?

What I find funny is that if I had to choose either of those options for a holiday than China Russia and Dubai would be higher on my list than The UK or USA.

But if I had to choose some where other than Oz to live, it would flip completely

China has been getting less and less friendly for. non-Chinese for some years now. I would visit Singapore or Japan rather than China.

It's very difficult for Anglosaxons to judge about Russians because Slavic people a Anglos are basically incompatible.
Whatever the Russians do and say, the Anglo-Brotherhood and the rest of malicious West will fear and hate because of their ignorance, arrogance and inferiority complex
that they feel towards Russian civilization. When west manage to comprehend Dostoevsky, then they will understand Russia as well. Of course, it's beyond
their mental and spiritual capacity just as it is impossible for cockroaches to understand calculus.
In this context, what to say about inferior and uncultured British colonial convicts.

When you invade a country without provocation or other good reason we think the invaders are scum. We think the russo-fascists are scum. You?

You got that right - we're just not plain crazy like they are and not terrific liars to boot.

'malicious West' - I don't see any West invading Ukraine and killing women and children and shelling suburbs filled with civilians .......

Russian civilisation?  WTF is that?  Absolute power at the top and total serfdom at the bottom?  Tsars or starving peasants who are fed on bullshit?

Comprehend Dostoevsky?  WTF has a writer of fiction long dead got to do with Putin the Puta invading a sovereign nation?

Are you demented or has the Kremlin got your balls in a rabbit trap or something?

Is no problem... is no screaming heard - is no torture.... in Lubyanka nobody hear you scream... walls too thick....

Your xenophobic rant proves everything I have said about your psychology.

You need to take some time and ask yourself some serious questions about why you hate the world that your people imitate in everything from clothes to apartment building and automotive society.
Ask yourself why Slavs would want to be part of Western Europe, and die rather than be part of Russia.

When you talk about inferiority, explain this Chinese social phenomenon.

Who invaded those countries and killed innocent civilians? Definitely not Martians.

"Australia is spatially huge, culturally tiny and politically insignificant"

Robert Hughes

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/86/The_Evil_Empire_Cover.jpg/300px-The_Evil_Empire_Cover.jpg

“Regardless such an urge to destroy and enslave other human beings cannot be explained by anything other than the possession of the so-called "British Evil Gene", which means that the Anglo-Saxons are programmed to destroy others in terms of their nature and upbringing”.

"In the work the author argues that many of the world's problems were caused by the British Empire and also criticizes British culture. The book explains thru the historical facts how the British Empire was evil, and responsible for the Irish famine, the atrocities committed by the Black and Tans during the Irish War of Independence, Racism, Invention of African slavery, Genocides around the world, the Scramble for Africa, the Iraq War, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Durand Line and the Revenges of the Afghan Royal Family and their Rare Earth Elements, global warming, world poverty, the Great Plague, Islamofascism, the 19th century First and Second Opium Wars with China, the First World War and the Vietnam War. Other events the book places blame on the British Empire for include the Second World War, the fathering of the United States and the drug trade. The book argues that all of these incidents had a negative impact on the world.
Other arguments made in the book involve the popularity of homosexuality among the British nobility that the King James Bible was a deliberate act of heresy, and that the Piltdown Man hoax was a deliberate attempt by British academia to prove that they were a superior race.
The book also gives insight in the Victorian educational system called "Victorian Fascism",  which like Hitler, prepared the "Superior British Race", to conquer the world.
The American Revolution was a decisive moment that enabled America to free itself from British colonial rule and to build national and cultural identities becoming  the number one power in the world.
On the other hand unlike America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand de facto remain British colonies in a new empire called the Commonwealth with the British monarch as a head of these puppet "states", without the ability to develop either a cultural or national identity.
One of the greatest intellectuals of the 20th century, Robert Hughes, wrote in his book "The Fatal Shore" about his country of birth: "Australia is spatially huge, culturally tiny and politically insignificant", which definitely applies to Canada and New Zealand".

Dostoyevsky wrote a book about the Russian mentality.  He titled it The Idiot:

If you wanted to go somewhere to "live", you would be accepting the first safe haven you come across that will accept you. Going to the UK, USA, or Australia is for the financial rewards of getting there.

By the way, the West copied many things from Russia.
The British like to identify with European culture, which is completely meaningless.

Nah, the CCP throttles the life out of any country.

CCP will not try to take Taiwan because the sanctions that would be imposed on it would KILL the Chinese economy. That is also why CCP support of russia is lukewarm at best. China is very very vulnerable from without and within—the huge cockup re COVID could well see a real revolution in China. Soon I hope—the Chinese people deserve better!

What does Vladimir Putin have to do to convince Washington that the Ukraine crisis is a preliminary skirmish in what might be a nuclear war? On February 23, Putin warned of nuclear war. On February 19, he conducted a full-dress drill of Russian ballistic missile forces. On February 27, he put Russia on a nuclear alert — which remains in effect.

Joe Biden didn’t get the message.

Then on March 29, Moscow sent a red-alarm signal to the West by leaking news that “Putin and his high command have decamped to secret bunkers, following a Kremlin statement that Russia would use nuclear weapons to counter an ‘existential threat,’” the Daily Mail reported, citing investigations by journalist Christo Grozev.

My guess is the US military is on alert and ready. They are not a bunch of snow flakes. Bad mouthing Biden makes no difference. Sky News keeps doing it, the same way the ABC says Morrison should have stopped the bushfires and Covid. The other thing is this. If there is going to be nuclear war, Russia will start it, and the US will end it.

And i think you'll find nuclear wars are not so easily "ended".

Russia starting a nuclear attack against the USA would mean that the USA would become nuclear missile deployment incapable. The USA would have to be very ready to counter the incoming missiles and be very accurate to survive the attack.

Donald's right, dear. Vlad would not have invaded Ukraine while the Donald was in. Vlad would just have waited until Donald's second term, when Donald told him he planned to pull the US out of NATO.

Unfortunately, Donald was unprepared for the "Deep State", a sinister group of government officials tasked with - ridiculous, I know - carrying out US policy.

They did things like ask nosey questions when congressional aid to Ukraine was stopped by the White House. They reported suspicious phone calls Donald made to the Investigator General, things like asking foreign heads of state to prosecute political opponents' kids. The Deep State went around sticking Donald's memos back together with sticky tape after he'd ripped them up and thrown them out - or reporting blocked toilets where he'd flushed them down the loo. They were constantly making trouble.

Donald was ill-equipped to deal with the Deep State, but he was learning. For example, he found he could fire Investigator Generals just as easily as he could fire Attorney Generals. Problem was, the people got in the way and ultimately said no to a second term. Can you believe it? Voters.

No problem, Donald originally thought, he could just take the election to court, like he often did when things did go his way. The judges in the lower courts got all legal, wanting evidence, and his plan to take it to the Supreme Court didn't work. Donald looked into another plan to convince the generals to impose martial law and run another election, but the generals didn't like it - maybe if it had gone to the Supreme Court, but no luck. The generals turned out to be a bunch of Democrats, what can you do?

Okay, so Donald could tell state governors who to put in their Electoral Colleges and just tell their delegates how to vote - why hadn't anybody tried it before? That one didn't go down too well, with all the governors and electoral officials saying they had to follow "the process." Weak. Donald got into a bunch of arguments with state governors and they all said the same thing, it was getting very frustrating.

Anyway, it all came down to the vote in the Capitol on January 6. Here, Donald would tell his representatives in Congress how to vote, and get his Vice President to stall things while he went to work, mobilising a popular revolt by group of patriotic voters, representing all the people of America. That's democratic, right? It would be like a new American revolution. The people would peacefully take over the House and Senate and convince the "strong" republicans (the Democrats are hopeless, Donald said, they are never voting for anything) to put him back in.

Problem is, the "patriots" looked like a bunch of losers, taking selfies of themselves with their feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk and getting about shirtless, wearing face paint like a crowd of football hooligans. And they started attacking cops. Look, Donald had never had a problem with fighting a cop - if you play fair and don't use mace and tasers and cattle prods. Anyway, five people ended up getting killed and it made Donald look bad. He lost the election - well, he didn't lose, but you know what he means. The Deep State took him down. The House and Senate voted for Sleepy Joe.

So yeah, Donald didn't get his second term so Vlad decided to invade. Maybe we should have listened to Donald and saved democracy, eh?

russian mentality is fairly simple

its embarrassing to have a functional capitalist society on their border, so they will just drive in , wreck it and go home.

Putin's Russia does not intend to go home.

His intention is to reconstitute the territory and influence of the former Soviet Union, using the age-old Russian strategies of scorched earth, mass genocide and conquest.

As it's always been with Russian military strategy: burn and retreat when the odds are against them; advance and burn when they have the means and opportunity.

Russia is a big place, a lot of different kinds of people. Via the internet, I've been in contact with musician friends in Moscow over the years, and I am sure they do not support Putin's war. Of course, if they were to say anything publicly they would be fined, possibly jailed, or worse.

I entirely agree

Russia - they cant resolve if they are inferior or superior.  They KNOW they are inferior but FEEL superior.

Being Russian is a complex. They are like the Irish or the Germans - potatoes and drink and resentment.

No one can be a truly intelligent supporter of democracy and worship a single all powerful god/leader at the same time.

His intention is to reconstitute the territory and influence of the former Soviet Union, using the age-old Russian strategies of scorched earth, mass genocide and conquest. As it's always been with Russian military strategy: burn and retreat when the odds are against them; advance and burn when they have the means and opportunity.

You don't need to tell Aquascoot that, Meister, he's appalled by the actions of his "noble Vlad". To Aquascoot, the Russian military are no better than Antifa, or Black Lives Matter.

Despicable stuff, no?

Russia - they cant resolve if they are inferior or superior.  They KNOW they are inferior but FEEL superior. Being Russian is a complex. They are like the Irish or the Germans - potatoes and drink and resentment.

A bit like Danes in the Antipodes, no? They love the South Pacific, salt air, multiculturalism, the tinted races, etc, but they do love the old country too. Blue vein stool, schnapps and schadenfreud.

Beats rum, sodomy and the lash any day, ja?

On February 23, Putin warned of nuclear war. On February 19, he conducted a full-dress drill of Russian ballistic missile forces. On February 27, he put Russia on a nuclear alert — which remains in effect. Joe Biden didn’t get the message. Then on March 29, Moscow sent a red-alarm signal to the West by leaking news that “Putin and his high command have decamped to secret bunkers, following a Kremlin statement that Russia would use nuclear weapons to counter an ‘existential threat,’” the Daily Mail reported, citing investigations by journalist Christo Grozev. https://asiatimes.com/2022/03/n-war-risk-real-bidens-living-a-dangerous-fantasy/ What would you have Biden do, Frank? What do you think Donald would have done? Donald's right, dear. Vlad would not have invaded Ukraine while the Donald was in. Vlad would just have waited until Donald's second term, when Donald told him he planned to pull the US out of NATO. Unfortunately, Donald was unprepared for the "Deep State", a sinister group of government officials tasked with - ridiculous, I know - carrying out US policy. They did things like ask nosey questions when congressional aid to Ukraine was stopped by the White House. They reported suspicious phone calls Donald made to the Investigator General, things like asking foreign heads of state to prosecute political opponents' kids. The Deep State went around sticking Donald's memos back together with sticky tape after he'd ripped them up and thrown them out - or reporting blocked toilets where he'd flushed them down the loo. They were constantly making trouble. Donald was ill-equipped to deal with the Deep State, but he was learning. For example, he found he could fire Investigator Generals just as easily as he could fire Attorney Generals. Problem was, the people got in the way and ultimately said no to a second term. Can you believe it? Voters. No problem, Donald originally thought, he could just take the election to court, like he often did when things did go his way. The judges in the lower courts got all legal, wanting evidence, and his plan to take it to the Supreme Court didn't work. Donald looked into another plan to convince the generals to impose martial law and run another election, but the generals didn't like it - maybe if it had gone to the Supreme Court, but no luck. The generals turned out to be a bunch of Democrats, what can you do? Okay, so Donald could tell state governors who to put in their Electoral Colleges and just tell their delegates how to vote - why hadn't anybody tried it before? That one didn't go down too well, with all the governors and electoral officials saying they had to follow "the process." Weak. Donald got into a bunch of arguments with state governors and they all said the same thing, it was getting very frustrating. Anyway, it all came down to the vote in the Capitol on January 6. Here, Donald would tell his representatives in Congress how to vote, and get his Vice President to stall things while he went to work, mobilising a popular revolt by group of patriotic voters, representing all the people of America. That's democratic, right? It would be like a new American revolution. The people would peacefully take over the House and Senate and convince the "strong" republicans (the Democrats are hopeless, Donald said, they are never voting for anything) to put him back in. Problem is, the "patriots" looked like a bunch of losers, taking selfies of themselves with their feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk and getting about shirtless, wearing face paint like a crowd of football hooligans. And they started attacking cops. Look, Donald had never had a problem with fighting a cop - if you play fair and don't use mace and tasers and cattle prods. Anyway, five people ended up getting killed and it made Donald look bad. He lost the election - well, he didn't lose, but you know what he means. The Deep State took him down. The House and Senate voted for Sleepy Joe. So yeah, Donald didn't get his second term so Vlad decided to invade. Maybe we should have listened to Donald and saved democracy, eh?

Russia is a big place, a lot of different kinds of people. Via the internet, I've been in contact with musician friends in Moscow over the years, and I am sure they do not support Putin's war. Of course, if they were to say anything publicly they would be fined, possibly jailed, or worse.

And you are superior?

From start you are culturally inferior (without cultural identity).
I can imagine what reasons genetically modified Anglo convicts have to feel "superior" except their yobbo imagination and little British convict training.

"Australia is spatially huge, culturally tiny and politically insignificant"
Robert Hughes

The British like to identify with European culture, which is completely meaningless.
The British are completely different from the continental European people both in nature and in upbringing (culture). Continental Europeans belong to the so-called Eurasian continent (which is one land) and have very little in common with the always isolated Anglo-Saxon barbarians. In Hong Kong, I've met many continental Europeans, such as Italians, French, Germans, Spaniards, Dutch, etc, who told me that it was much easier for them to communicate with the Chinese people than with arrogant and perfidious Anglo barbarians.

Guys unfortunately WW3 is much closer than you think.
On Russian TV show 'The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov',Margarita Simonyan, journalist and head of RT, said that a nuclear
war is the only possibility in order to stop other countries from intervening in Russia's war with Ukraine.
Russia plans first to wipe out Britain and than possible to negotiate with US.

https://youtu.be/afe9XWKN5Rs?t=33

Russia talks about the war on Russia's public TV service:

- "Either we will lose in Ukraine or there will be a third world war"
- "They say knowing us, our mentality, Putin's mental structure".
- "World War III is a much more realistic option than losing the war in Ukraine".
- "The nuclear option seems to me the most realistic at the moment".

- "We will go to heaven and they will simply croak".
