The west is better for its citizens... Thats a simple fact, this is not even up to debate, there is like no area where China/Russia are "better". LOL. How are Europeans/US/Canadians better than guys from "East"? What factors have to be used to divide? I'm just simply curious, because in general good people are same everywhere. | ||

Yeah Biden said, at his visit to Poland and Lithuania recently, that NATO stands by their members in case of aggression directed towards any of them. Cant find the news article or quite atm, sry. | ||

Hes not talking about good people. Hes talking about how well those people are living. | ||

You need way less money in Russia for example to live than in Europe/USA, that's it. And afaik, in China you need even less than here. *Of course, if you have flat or you're renting it*. | ||

I don't understand the point you're making, isn't it a good thing that children in Latvia can choose to go to a state-funded school where the language of tuition is Russian? Anyway, I don't like these people who say `chill out' - that's actually the point as to why this is so serious. Previously, being a sovereign country meant something, after Georgia and now Crimea (and probably soon E-Ukraine), we can't chill out any more. Russia is willing to occupy and annex neighbouring countries. There is no possibility of chilling out, no matter how much we would like it. The region must be militarized once more, and hard security arrangements need to be made. This will make the region poorer and also create even more tension between NATO allies and Russia. | ||

Forget about money for a second and think about human rights individual freedoms. Sure, all countrys are still in need of improvement but when it comes to giving people the chance to choose their own path in life, not suffer from discrimination because of race/sexuality/gender/religon etc, Russia has a long way to go. Some countries are better and some are worse but if know its slowly getting better thats something atleast. Thats why its so sad to see the anti-gay laws for example. Its such a huge step backwards and so irresponsible from the government. | ||

If you can just think, noone in Russia ever touched whole countries but those autonomic areas who support pro-Russian ideas in general. So i don't think, Putin will ever touch Estonia who has anti-Russian rhetorics like forever. I just laugh every day when my girlfriend from Latvia telling me how tired is she about listening about Russian occupants who will come soon, that's it.

There is no anti-gay laws except for ban on homosexual propaganda on childs but i agree that our community seem so young that in general homosexual minorities has more than little support. But noone will touch you if you're gay or lesbian, lol except for retards like Mizulina or Milonov who absolutely hate homosexualists like we're in Medieval. In general i agree tho. | ||

Crimea wasn't anything like South Ossetia or Abkhazia before this invasion. The Russian rhetoric already targets Ida-Virumaa in Estonia, rather than Estonia as a whole... Not to mention, no-one will care about rhetoric anymore. After an annexation, every option is considered and will need a hard power response. And that's exactly what NATO allies are currently discussing. | ||

That's a bit too much foreign language to go through but as I could gather, they will have a temporary law (state of emergency?) which allows people judged to be suspicious (didn't understand the conditions fully) to be detained for 30 days. The purpose is to stop provocations/sabotage or something similar. | ||

It's like first step before repressions usually, that's why i'm getting worried about it. I won't be surprised if some of big politician figures get arrested as well, especially, from Eastern Ukraine. | ||
