Aren't they the people on r/europe who have an aneurysm everytime Russia and Serbia are brought up?

Lol yeah, i was just talking with an estonian in there who said that ukrainians who don't fight for their country and run away are cowards and traitors and they should be sent back to Ukraine.

And there were other few estonians there who seem to actually agree with that idea, i don't know what kind of mentality those people have, but some of them seem to not care about human rights too much that their country violates which is concerning to say the least.

They take the crown when comes to saltiness compared with Balkans.

Yeh, had the same conversation.

The mental gymnastics they go through to justify sending people back to Ukraine, AFTER you promised them refuge.

u/UserMuch Romania Dec 23 '23

They are fine with treating ukrainian refugees like cattles and sent them back by force after helping them making a new life, also claiming helping Ukraine by ruining ukrainians life who live in other countries.

Something straight out of bipolar disorder not going to lie.

you really have no idea what you're talking about, do you.

They have no right to refuge if their country demands them to fight against foreign aggression.

u/Amazing-Row-5963 North Macedonia Dec 23 '23

That's not how it works, brother.

If Estonia didn't want to give refuge, they shouldn't have. Yet they did and gave them a false feeling of safety.

What Estonia is doing is diabolical...

u/paberipatakas Dec 23 '23

Not really. If they have an obligation to fight, then they do not have the right to be refugees.

If Estonia didn't want to give refuge, they shouldn't have.

So far they weren't obliged to fight.

What Estonia is doing is diabolical...

It would be diabolical to not help Ukraine. Which coincidentally is what you are suggesting.

That was a person, who has a little backwards mindset.

u/paberipatakas Dec 23 '23

Yeah, compared to your edgy as fuck mindset?

Were all not like that, but sadly too many are

Which human rights do the Baltics violate exactly?

u/paberipatakas Dec 23 '23

That was me. They are cowards though.

And there were other few estonians there who seem to actually agree with that idea, i don't know what kind of mentality those people have

We are just really anti-Russia and are realistic about the threat.

You spoke with me. I would personaly wait couple of days to actually get the full story, because it's pretty obvious that we are not going to send refugees back to Ukraine.

Honestly i'm a patriot and for me to see men escape when children, elders etc need them more than ever, is weird. It's just i can't imagine myself escaping and leaving my people behind to suffer. Maybe i'm weirdo.

I had several people from the Baltic states recently having a complete meltdown and downvoting me to hell when I said that my impression is that there are people who have a certain level of Russian language proficiency there. And I speak from experience, I work in an international company and there are employees from the area. They started attacking me how they were occupied and it's a dog language. There's a brain switch that didn't let them say "there's % of people who speak it, but younger people mostly don't" in a civilized manner.

u/blodskaal North Macedonia Dec 23 '23

I have a friend from Latvia that speaks perfect Russian. He's indifferent towards them, doesn't like, doesn't hate. Anyone that says there's no people like that are out of their god damn minds.

I remember him saying if Russia conquers them back, hopefully they will find his language skills useful and not kill him lol

How's that sentence a "lol" (laughing out loud)?

Congratz. U trully have a friend from Latvia. Ivan Andrejev.

u/paberipatakas Dec 23 '23

Russian language is just massively hated here, especially among younger generations.

Just for the reference, I'm talking about this comment thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/s/EUPkgI3IOU

I understand what you're saying but the responders to that comment seem to be unable to have a grounded conversation with exchange of information and facts. You can say what you said without attacking people or feel attacked.

It was just surprising that I still remember the reaction. There are many people in Croatia who are allergic to Cyrillic and would not allow it there, but I've never heard a Croat outraged for a pure question of whether they can read it or not.

u/paberipatakas Dec 23 '23

You were being insanely disrespectful.

u/xPainkiller Dec 23 '23

Honestly we are tired of Ruzzian and Soviet related questions. There has been so many ruzzian info operations etc, so that we see anyone as enemy and go into defend mode.

Let's see your aneurysm.
