Does anti-Russian-ism equate to anti-Semite-ism

Do you have a clear mind ?

Aggression : Bombing Serbia, Eretria, Granada, Iraq. Libya. The list is much larger , but I will live it there only. Are you related to General Patton ?

Did the US occupy and annex any of those countries as Russia has done? The answer is no. Here's the part you kind of forgot; Granada was invaded after a communist coupe had occurred and American hostages had been taken. The US rescued the hostages and returned the country to its rightful government. Oops.

Iraq was invaded by the US and other allied nations under a UN mandate. The US and allied nations removed a dictator who had used weapons of mass destruction against his people, and replaced the dictatorship with a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. Iraq is now a democratic state and now governs itself. The US spent more than a trillion dollars reconstructing the country.

Libya was attacked at the behest of our European allies to prevent a massacre of innocent civilians by a ruthless dictator and former Russian ally. The US didn't invade Libya. It never held any land in Libya. It helped the Libyan rebels defend themselves, and prevented a massacre.

The US and allied nations intervention in Serbia stopped the slaughter of Muslims. Muslims were being slaughtered just as Hitler slaughtered Jews decades ago. The US and allied nations stopped the carnage and restored peace. What’s wrong with that comrade?

And what about Eritrea…what is wrong with participating in United Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian operations with other member states? The US along with other UN member states attempted to peaceably resolve the Eritrean civil war and participated in humanitarian operations in Eritrea. What is wrong with that comrade?

I think you and your Russian cohorts have a terminal case of penis envy comrade.

So what is your claim, then? That there is not enough information one way or another?

USSR
a little history:
By the 16th century
Due to Latvia's strategic location and prosperous trading city of Riga, its territories were a frequent focal point for conflict and conquest between at least four major powers: the State of the Teutonic Order, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sweden and Russian Empire. The last period of external hegemony began in 1710, when control over Riga and parts of modern-day Latvia switched from Sweden to Russia during the Great Northern War. Under Russian control, Latvia was in the vanguard of industrialisation and the abolition of serfdom, so that by the end of the 19th century, it had become one of the most developed parts of the Russian Empire. The increasing social problems and rising discontent that this brought meant that Riga also played a leading role in the 1905 Russian Revolution.

Russian foreign policy never had much to do with Communism. They wanted Latvia in 1710, they wanted it in 1940 and they want it today. We can't demonize Communism any more, so we might as well get used to the fact that Russia is Russia.

Is somebody running around blaming the Russians for "everything"? It seems from the news that there are few specific things laid at their gate, and not much else.

I think we should divorce our thoughts that Russia is not the Soviet union , They don't want to be overwhelmed by other cultures . They are traditionalist , the wests is adventurous.

If this nation would be of your mentality it would be dangerous to have different views because people with different views would be persecuted .
I would agree if we were in war, we would have to pool together .
By the way were you alive during the war in viet nam ?
 
Do you feel persecuted?
Follow up, why do we all have to have the same opinion about a war? That seems dangerous.
