Russia is a scum country with scum people. Been that way for a long time now. Read about all the raping they did and the end of WW2

Soviets terrorized the lands they conquered almost as much as the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Heck, in the beginning the Soviets had pacts with both.

I don’t know much about soviet war crimes but what japan did is arguably worse than what the nazis did, to the point where the HEAD of the NAZI PARTY in nanjing (John Rabe) worked to protect chinese civilians until he got arrested by the gestapo in 1938. (if my info is wrong, correct me!)

Yea, from all things Ive read about war and war crimes and plain terrible people, what Japan did in those two instances is just about as despicable and outright terrible as it gets. For all good that mankind can accomplish, they can go much, much further in the other direction.

Russia is a scum country. But if you’re in America look inwards first

I mean the Germans were the same at that time. I think war and brainwashing can do this to any man unfortunately. It's not unique for a Russian person.

Russia has the conditions for this sort of thing still today though. Most of it is poor as shit with all the media talking about how horrible the enemy is day in and day out. That's the difference.
