Really, in what way ? How do you even measure it. In deaths per country per 100 years or what ? And do you have any numbers or are you just making them up as you go.

Outright war against Russia is not possible, obviously. But the international consequences would be extremely severe, it would have led to renewed isolation of Russia, which isn't what anyone wants, and especially not Russia.

You must be trolling. Russia has committed just as many atrocities as the rest of us and you are deluded if you think otherwise. Then again, I am starting to think that you are in fact delusional as you seem to think that if everyone else thinks differently to you then they must all be wrong, because there is no way that you can be.

In my humble opinion a important indicator of civility is the ability of a nation to acknowledge past atrocities committed by it, forgive past transgressions of other nations against it and solve current disputes through means other than strongman policies. No nation is perfect in this regard, but some do alot better than others...

You were asking "how is it any better in _the west_?" The liberties thing you tried to use against _the west_ actually is a boomerang argument is what I am saying. Pedophilia is amongst the least accepted things around here - some might even say it's fucking disgusting and sick( and they would be right too). At least where I am from.
So I am asking you, what is left of your point?

There are but a few countries that do that. It's not like the West hasn't been causing shit in the Middle East, or the Balkans (Kosovo war was not that long ago). And strongarming can often simply be replaced by scheming (the UK spying for the USA, France comitting industrial espionage against Germany or bribing officials in the ME so that their companies would be the ones getting the deals, Germany supporting Erika Steinbach or secretly financing a Silesian separationist moevement in Poland with money).
All in all, I wouldn't say that people in the West are any less brainwashed than they are in the East. Or that they are that much more free. It's closer to soft dictatorship in white gloves vs. blatant dictatorship. It's just that Western countries have less reasons for social unrest because they're wealthy, for various reasons.

The liberties thing you tried to use against _the west_ actually is a boomerang argument is what I am saying. Pedophilia is amongst the least accepted things around here - some might even say it's fucking disgusting and sick( and they would be right too). At least where I am from. So I am asking you, what is left of your point?
Read more carefully. I said that it's not a reason enough to feel so much more superior than those "backwards Easter Europeans". Because, for one, it's only been a couple of decades, really. Let me remind you of racism in the USA, gay people going to jail in the UK not so long ago, people being forcefully sterilized in Sweden (abolished only in 1976), police brutality against people opposing the war in Vietnam in the USA or striking miners in the UK under Thatcher. And, secondly, many Western countries are taking it too far: political correctness, affirmative action, allowing pedophile parties, promotion of transvestitism and such among young children (the EU is actually supporting this whole gender ideology). The LGBT organizations are often tied with pedophiles, obviously not openly.

I did not say it was better, I said that showing few atrocities does not disprove KwarK's point. I said that today they are better, which is pretty clear considering how much less unnecessary suffering there is. Ever saw jails in poorer countries, corruption is many levels above what is in the West, tolerance for non-harmful behaviours is on much higher level, violence is negligible compared to Russia. Every objective statistical indicator that you want to pick will show you they are better off. You cherrypicking few minor things does not change anything. Pedophiles have political parties, so what ? As long as pedophilia is still a crime I see no problem. Compared to what you can go to jail in Russia, your examples are meaningless.
Nobody talks about being rich, but about lower levels of violence, higher levels of functioning society (justice system, government, fairness,... ), much lower level of prosecuting harmless behaviours. In all of those things Russia (not only) is waaaaaays behind West.

The main problem or Ukraine and Russian is totally corrupted politicians, and it's also one interesting thing that 99% of countrys finances been accumulated by 20 richest dudes, the rest 1% of cash splits for 40 million ppl, strange enough? We are mostly good and kind people, but our politicians are mostly bandits and thieves, that's why I'm srsly thinking about emigration This makes no sense. Do you actually expect Russia to continue to allow themselves to serve as an export market for Ukraine's industry while waving it off into the sunset as it integrates with Europe? Russia is simply telling you, if you go with Europe this is what you will lose, you get to decide what the "right" decision is. Either way you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. There's no "forcing" here, but poor countries with uncompetitive industries get pushed around, fact of life. It would be fair to extend the same protectionist measures against Ukraine as it does other EU associated countries, I suppose. But this isn't what Russia does. They will arbitrarily ban things to punish Ukraine, like it does with any country it has diplomatic tensions with. Netherlands had a series of diplomatic incidents with Russia recently, and suddenly a bunch of Dutch products apparently are terribly dangerous to Russian health. As I said, Russia hates to lose power. No Eastern European country really likes Russia in my opinion, we're/they're just forced. (Ex-)communists kind of have no conscience and respect for others who don't share the same opinion. In fact, I'm thinking that there is some kind of Cold War already. Putin who tries to build up some Eurasian Union and who also gets Edward Snowden under his wing, while the west wants to win Ukraine over. This, and NSA's spying programme. We live in a weird world. I think you are forgetting that Ukraine has a huge ass border with Russia. I wonder if the people protesting in Kiev have a grasp of the consequences of propping up a russophobic puppet regime right on Russia's doorstep. It's easy for people from Stockholm and London to go on about 'muh freedom' but they won't be the ones on the doorstep of a hostile nuclear power, ask Cuba what life is like next to the US. They also need to know that when half the county calls for independence because they don't want to be a part of a country that isn't on Russia's side, guess who will be more than happy to roll in the tanks to 'protect the will of the people'? EDIT: also, joining NATO would be textbook 'going full retard' Hmmm, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia joined NATO. I did not observe any of their territory violated since they joined. Why Ukraine would go full retard where as these three countries also have, proportionally to their territory, huge ass borders with Russia? I don't think there is any real threat of Russian military hostilities. Such a thing would not be tolerated by the EU and US, and Russia is very much aware of that. It isn't like Russia and EU have hostile diplomatic relations in general either. I also don't see how military intervention can be beneficial to Russia even if there wouldn't be any international response. No matter the choice this won't have huge international consequences. The only thing at stake is Ukraine's economic, social and political prosperity. I hope they can choose wisely. No offence, but you are naive if you think NATO members would actually help the Baltic states had Russia attacked them... Only countries that actually have something at stake in such a scenario would react, i.e. other countries that are frequently a target of Russian hostility (e.g. Poland or Sweden). Does Phoney War ring a bell? How does strategic situation from 100 years ago have any bearing on this scenario ? EDIT: and before you start - 74 years. It blatantly shows that Western "allies" don't give a shit about their obligations unless they will suffer some consequences themselves too.
Of course, but how do you go from there to what you said. Times have changed, NATO has many reasons why not to allow Russia to just attack its members. You bringing up phony war is about as valid as me picking one instance in history where they did fulfill their obligations and using it as evidence that they would do so now. Your example has no bearing on current situation whatsoever.

You certainly like to gnaw on the past things. While the past should not be ignored, you can't build future on pointing fingers and blaming everyone for your country bad position.
As for being civilized, the small things are the factor that make societies to be considered civilized. Your everyday behaviour, how do you approach people and how do you treat them. Here in Poland it is enough to take a look how drivers conduct themselves on the road and treat each other. Everyone on the road is your fucking enemy. It is a freaking wild west. Then again when there is an idiot driving recklessly no one will report him because he could be considered a snitch. How twisted is that? How civilized is that, to stigmatize people that are doing their citizen's duty? You will not experience this shit in western countries, at least not in that ample amount that you get to see here.
I feel like we derailed this topic too far now, lets get back on subject.

My point is that the West being more civilized is questionable at best. And, if anything, it's a very recent thing. Your comment that the West was better is unfounded. It very well might be the fact that it has been for the past 20-30 years, but that's just too short of a period of time to be meaningful, imo. The only reason why the establishments do nott have to resort to physical violence in Western countries is because there is no real social unrest, despite all the pathology, as people are relatively well off regardless.
As for the promotion of transvestitism, it's just one of the aspect of this whole "tolerance" agenda that the EU has, which also includes early sexualization of children. Poland has been pushed into delivering special gender-influenced activities, supposedly meant to promote "tolerance", where children were encouraged to cross-dress, with tutors asking boys "wouldn't it be fun to dress like a girl for some time?" (and vice versa) or "what would you think if your dad were to wear a dress? would you find it normal?" There was an uproar about this recently in Poland, because some parents protested in one kindergarten and their children got kicked out because there were no vacant places in the groups that did not follow that program.
*I meant kindergarten, not daycare in my earlier post.
