The Russian people suffered like no others in WWII. I doubt any Russian alive today that didn’t lose someone in that war. America may have lost 300,000 troups however Russia lost 27,000,000. They know war and not afraid of it. Sanctions to them are a waste of paper.
Yes - and that’s not counting the 60-100 million of their own that were just exterminated in the concentration camps / gulags
I have tremendous respect for the Russian ppl in general — theyve produced some amazing literature too (Doestoyevsky, Checkov, Turgenev etc)
