A few days ago I had a dialogue with an educated fellow. His grandfather was Waffen SS. He and I spoke, and he reiterated the same thing you have said. There is only a choice between horrible and unthinkable. That is the world that we live in. He also pointed out something Dali Lama said, it is intention, defending your country is a hero. Stepping into anther’s country is an invader. He still very anti Russification. He was quite educated in historical context. The Jewish of the region he was from had helped in the deportation of locals to go off to Siberian concentration camps. I thought I was watching the deportation of Jews when I saw the video in the museum. It was camps without gas chambers almost as bad. One week later the Germans came in, and the Red Army fled. They gather the Jewish whom assisted the USSR with deporting people, and shot them all in the forest as payback. It sounds to me there were no moralists in times of tragic circumstances. He did clue me onto a sect people whom had converted to Jewish faith whom had zero affiliation to Judaism 200-300 years ago. I am assuming this is a piece of deep-state cabal. Probably the basis of infiltration of Mossad. Perhaps also part of Yaroslav the Wise? Whom intermarried royal families in the name of peace. This infiltration has hit China, United States, Europe, Israel, and who knows where else. The fellow I mentioned above is still very supportive of Ukraine, and anti Russia. He and I debated this, and agreed to disagree. Memories of KGB are too fresh in the region. I pointed out to him something I saw in the museum, a video of one of the victims of the Siberian camps. Her and her mother were shipped off and separated from her father. Her mother had taught her not to hate Russians, but to hate the regime. I also mentioned to him that Stalin was a Georgian, and not Russian. He was the one that starved Ukrainians under the USSR. The museum also pointed out that a country’s borders are its skin, it protects it from foreign organisms that are harmful to the body of the nation.
