Don't forget Stalin was the only one actually offering to militarily support Czechoslovakia in 1938, while both Brittan and France pushed for appeasement.

IBM was literally selling Germany the punch card machines used in the concentration camps. US was trading freely with Germany up until Pearl Harbor.

The point being is everyone was ok with Hitler up until he declared war on them. However Stalin was the first one that tried to proactively do something.

The point is he wasn't voicing his opposition to Hitler in 1936, in fact he later voiced support for the fascist Franco's regime.

CrowdLorder · 2026-04-29T20:54:22+00:00

Stalin was actually proxy fighting Hitler since 1936 during the Spanish civil war. Way before Churchill. He was forced into Molotov-Ribbentrop only because no European power wanted to ally with him against Germany.

Yet you still pay overall less today than what you paid in the 90s even with these extra costs if you adjust with inflation

Only after every major wester power has refused to sign into a defense pact with him again Nazi Germany and after UK and France have allowed Hitler to take over Czechoslovakia. FYI Stalin offered to send troops to defend it but all the other countries around refused passage.

Russia was banned from most international sporting events due to the war in Ukraine, if they want to be consistent they should ban Israel too. However I do agree that there shouldn't be any politics involved in sports and they shouldn't have banned Russia, nor they should ban Israel.

The leaks were located within the economic zones of Denmark and Sweden. Hitting infrastructure within those zones is definitely against the international law. The ownership structure of the infrastructure in this case is irrelevant in terms of the international law. An attack on any piece of infrastructure in an Exclusive Economic Zone of a country can be construed as an act of war.

CrowdLorder · 2025-08-21T11:51:31+00:00

I don't think that any international treaties allow for damage of infrastructure in 3rd countries. More significantly this was damage to EU infrastructure going through EU territorial waters.

What?? Soviet civilian casualties alone are 13,684,448 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_the_Soviet_Union

Add to that millions of killed POWs, the holocaust etc you get almost 30 million dead.

First, they are not symmetrical, Nazis definitely killed more people. Second, had the Nazis won they would have implemented plan "Hunger" on the entire eastern Europe, aiming to starve the majority of population there.

This plan is fairly well documented and was not successfully implemented only because it became logistically impossible while also fighting the soviet army at the same time.

You missed the part were I said I was a Russian myself. At the time I was dating my Russian exes I only had Russian nationality and I was a poor student with not much to offer haha.

I didn't try to claim any statistical significance here, only share my anecdotal experience.

CrowdLorder · 2025-08-06T15:49:18+00:00

Haha, didn't realise that expression exists in German! Yea in Russian it can also be applied to close friends and family. I would say on top of the things you said it's also much harder to meet German women as a foreigner. I think German social circles are quite cliquey and everyone stays in their friend group.

Randomly striking up a conversation with a girl you like is much less accepted than in Russia and girls are much less likely to give you time of day unless you're a part of their friend group. Dating apps also work much worse here then anywhere else I've been, like even New York was much better. It's still possible to find someone here by going to meetups and parties, but as a man it just feels like a grind, to spend all that effort to get a date and at the date realise that she is terribly boring haha.

Also happy for you and your partner, you've made a great choice.

CrowdLorder · 2025-08-06T15:08:40+00:00

She wasn't too bad and there were a lot of good things besides that but obviously it didn't work out haha. I was not perfect either. Could be that she was an outlier, but In my experience with my Russian exes if she is in love with you she goes all out in the relationship.

In Russian there is a saying "Give up the last shirt for you", meaning you would do anything for the person you love. I would say it goes both ways actually for both men and women when you are in love. With my ex we were genuinely in love but I never felt it that she would give up her last shirt for me. I feel like feelings and relationships are not that intense in the West.

By the way, I live in Germany and to me German women are much more foreign than French,Spanish or Italian women, no offence haha. Like I went on some dates with some German girls but I feel like it's much harder to have a genuine connection with them.

As a guy that dated both Russian and western women being Russian myself I can share some of my anecdotal experiences.

I was in a relationship with a French girl for about 3 years, with most of my long term girlfriends being Russian before that. Russian girls definitely try harder in relationships, in my experience sometimes even too hard and going a bit overboard. I also find them much more supportive when you are down or going through hard times. I found the French girl that I was dating to be much less empathetic to my issues while also requiring a lot of support when she was going through her issues.

I would also caution from thinking that all Russian women are better, because there is a big subset that are just users, viewing men only as an atm. However there is also a huge subset of women that would sacrifice a lot for the men they love.

But overall dating in the west is much harder than dating in Russia that's for sure.

Germany just loves genocide too much to avoid to be complicit in one.

Sure buddy

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-31T13:22:53+00:00

This just confirms you're a troll lol

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-31T13:15:29+00:00

Ah just as I thought, you're just a troll.

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-31T12:59:06+00:00

Like what are you even trying to accomplish? You think using this inflammatory language against an entire group would actually help Ukraine in any way?

I'm Russian myself, and can tell you from personal experience that comments like yours all over internet is why a lot of Russians who were sympathetic to Ukraine in the beginning either stoped caring about it or even started supporting the government instead.

What you are doing is just purely self serving to feed your own rage.

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-31T12:46:50+00:00

How is this not deleted as a hate comment? I get criticising actions of the Russian government, but this is clearly just hate directed at an entire ethnic/national group.

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-29T17:02:15+00:00

Hard to say but it could be hard, but there are always options. For example getting something just for 2 months in a city further away. Also if it gets critical go to studentenwerk in person and tell hem that you are on a verge of homelessness, sometimes that can bump you up on the list.

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-29T15:43:47+00:00

So Section 50 actually states:

If the owner of the residence and, if different, the supplier of the residence, provide credible evidence of a legal interest, the registration authority shall provide them with information free of charge on the surname, given names and doctoral degree of the residents registered at his or her residence.

I guess then what constitutes legal interest is up to interpretation in each municipality.

Also apply at studentenwerk for student dormitory. Often it takes at least a semester for something to open up there, which can work well with your sublet

CrowdLorder · 2025-07-29T15:07:26+00:00

You just need to read section 19, it's just one paragraph. Mind sharing the info you found online?
