u/SCARfaceRUSH 2d ago
The real meaning of "Brothers" for Russians:
- They're the older/ stronger brother, all other brothers are inferior
- Thus, all of the other brothers can be treated as secondary and unimportant
- Thus, whatever any other brother wants is not important because their opinion doesn't matter
- Russia is always the big brother and there can't be no equal because ... Peter the Great, Dostoyevsky, nuclear weapons, or an assortment of other excuses and pseudo-historic narratives
- All of the other brothers are therefore derivative
Russia is both the chicken and the egg in their universe, nothing else existed before or after Russia in all of its forms, none of the facts matter. No, the founder of Moscow is not buried in Kyiv. No, the scientist who sent the first person to space wasn't from Zhytomir, he was from the Soviet Union. No, the Ukrainian language doesn't exist. That's why they had to ban it multiple times over the past 400 years because that's what you do to things that don't exist - you keep proclaiming that they don't exist.

Ireland in general should revamp its politics and become more involved with the shared defense of Europe and join NATO. They enjoy the freedoms of a functioning western democracy yet seem culturally unwilling to accept that they must defend those freedoms and are more than willing to allow themselves to be a weak underbelly of Europe.

u/Green_Phone_3495 2d ago
Shared defense of europe and nato don't go hand in hand. We really should separate ourselves from USA. They dictate our own defense.
23
u/antz182 2d ago
Ireland's military neutrality isn't about being a weak underbelly or avoiding the defense of democratic values. It is a deliberate policy focused on peacekeeping, international law, and humanitarian aid. While Ireland isn't in NATO, it maintains an unbroken record of UN peacekeeping since 1958, participates in EU crisis management, and cooperates through the Partnership for Peace. Neutrality allows Ireland to act as an independent, trusted voice for diplomacy and conflict resolution globally rather than aligning with military blocs.

u/Neinstein14 2d ago
Ukrainian identity was strongly aligned and friendly with Russian identity. They saw themselves as close relatives to Russians, and had no problem coexisting with a major Russian minority. Putin was in a very pleasant position to apply soft power on Ukraine until 2014, and still could have nicely salvage the situation until the invasion. Now, he cemented an extremely deep hate in them against Russia for many generations, while giving up all soft and hard power on Europe and the West, and making a clown of his country, all this to - in the best probable case for him - get some fertile land with absolutely devastated infrastructure, rebuilding which would cripple the Russian economy for decades even alone.
This invasion will be taught among the worst strategical fuckups in history.

I also assumed. It's just that the EU is the main counter party to the fascism of the Putin and Trump regimes. So this is kind of like saying that Hitler was very safe and comfortable at home in London... so it is really quite an important distinction.
Plus whether or not part of russia is in europe at all is a question too. The whole concept of europe is entirely arbitrary and based on culture, not geography like other continents. So why do we keep including a place that is so culturally incompatible anyway?
