So Russia is going to invade Latvia next?

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I hope this is a joke. I mean, it's not 100% impossible, but to compare it as 'next target after Ukraine' is straight childish. You sure do know what would mean war with Nato πŸŒπŸŒ‹

My first thought too.

"my first thought when hearing about Nazi atrocities is 'Russia bad'"

Average unscratched liberal

You think this is the first time I'm hearing about Nazi atrocities??

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I'm assuming you replied to the wrong comment

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You assume incorrectly, again

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I was just giving you the benifit of the doubt. Turns out that your comment was just incoherent instead

β€œmy first thought when hearing about Nazi atrocities is β€˜Russia bad’”

But it isn't my first time hearing about Nazi atrocities, so it wouldn't be my first thought about that

Please work on your reading comprehension.

Also, you literally said they are your first thoughts

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I meant first thoughts about Russia bringing it up. My first thoughts about the atrocities happened a long time ago, when I first heard about them.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Russia didn't "bring it up", they released the documents from their archives. So no, you didn't hear about them long ago.

Nothing they're bringing up is news, though. It's just further details about stuff we already knew about. I'm sure historians will value the documents but it's not like we didn't know about that they did horrible shit before.
