So russians in russia last year weren't happy or have the ability to live a great life there? Did I miss something?

All I want is someone to explain to me how agreeing to putin's terms, is worse than what is happening right now and what will keep happening for God knows how long. Is there anything greater than the life of a human?  Once people start dying and cities are ruined, then it's too late, you've failed to protect what's most important. 

 

And no i'm not a russian sympathiser or paid by putin as some chap suggested. I'm an australian living in australia. All I care about are the people caught up and getting hurt.  

They are happy because that is all they know. A country who had freedom and was taken over by the USSR or has tasted freedom post USSR knows exactly how much better life can be.

The reason it is better because a life that has no freedom isn't a life at all. You have to live it to experience it and understand it.

I noted a few people saying you are from Australia.  Well I live here now too. I come here because of the USSR oppression. Australia is a fucking holiday in comparison. The amount of people here that whinge about the smallest shit is laughable. I mean you know the country is good when you can go on a life time of dole payments. People complain they don't have enough money on the dole yet they don't want to work for it to get more money.  In other countries welfare does not last forever. You don't work you die/fight on the street.

 

Yes we are doing ok in australia, but it's not all perfect . There are problems here that russians don't have, and same for them.

I've met russians who have come here on holidays for certain major events, over the last 15 years, and no one was complaining about life there. But you can go to any country and find bad stuff going on there.
