    Are you speaking of the greco-italian war which I just learned about as a foreigner visiting a Greek museum in which Greece was attacked first unfairly with nonsense propaganda and demanded to concede land by a fascist nieghbour?
    Hmm.

    Also Greece got themselves into the debt crisis before the EU and although it was painful austerity they are now one fastest growing economies around. Something to be proud of, really.

    You are doing remote job work just like me because the wages here are terrible and none can survive with them. Luckily digital nomadism has saved me from the worst fate that others endure. This is why I can live alone, I wouldn't be able to do this otherwise.

    This is propaganda of the EU in order to support the central right party here. You see this party rules Europe now and they do their best to support their allies no matter how bad they perform.

    Back on 1940 we had a free, proud and independent country with relative good living conditions and a very strong leader, the people were proud to be part of it and fight for it. The Germans decimated everything and stole our wealth, they do the same these days through other means but we no longer have the spirit that we did have back then.

    If Putin invaded Greece now, trust me, none would even try to resist, I don't think the people care anymore for this ruined place. This is why it's somewhat weird for most of us, wtf are doing with Ukraine, why do we even care. We have so many problems of our own.

    You know the Greek stereotype is that of a complainer right? Sorry buddy, think you may need to get out more. Read some books or something.

    Just accept Ukraine's place in modern history for what it is: a major proxy to weaken one of the West's most hated enemies.
    Given that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked and in violation of established treaties, this claim is absolute fuckin' nonsense.

    I mostly respond to the other Greek who called me deranged and tried to make a fool out of me as if we are living in different countries.

    Man, it's pointless to tell them, they will even deny you even though you are an Ukrainian. Who knows maybe Putin recruited you.

    Actually I would like to see some real Ukrainians commenting in this forum and give their own insight instead of having only Americans speaking, how do Ukrainians view this war and the situation there? I have heard mixed opinions from the ones I talked with.

    One acknowledges their country's issues and misgivings while the other whines and yells and blames everybody else. Yeah you kind of are living in different countries, if not different worlds.

    “Greece has so many problems, Putin might as well destroy it” is certainly a take.


    But of course this isn’t about Greece, this is about Ukraine, and clearly they aren’t so bleak about their country’s future that they just decided to lay down and die.

    Thats only because theyre an American pawn! Not like those free-minded Greeks who know that when Russia rolls up, all you can do is lay down and die!

    What? Ukrainians have fled en masse to avoid conscripting, we have many here. There are videos about even nationalist Ukrainians who try to resist conscripting. This is one of the major problems of the Ukrainian army. They don't want to fight a pointless war that will kill them 100% against a brother nation. Russia to Ukraine is what Cyprus to Greece, most would never dare to fight them.

    The situation in Ukraine is faaaaar worse than Greece, Greece is an enslaved country but still somewhat functional and relatively stable even if its a hated stability for its citizens. Ukraine is what Greece was in 1940, a decimated country with no hope in sight. In 3 months Trump will come and all aid will be cut, a big portion of their land will be given in Russia and they will be left with tons of debt to creditors with still no NATO or EU membership and with lots of their men dead. It will be terrifying.

    We are enslaved the same way that baltics, Poland, Ukraine were enslaved to Russia during the Soviet Union and had everything wiped out from them. When you are part of Union, the strongest one in them takes everything. The European Union is not the same as the United States, it's a competitive Union where everyone has to stand in it for himself. This Union is dominated by France and Germany, we can't possibly compete with them, we can't stand our ground with such countries, we have to leave and take protective measures and adjust our markets based on regional needs, otherwise this country will remain unhabitable.

    Just because European Union is capitalist, it does not make it free.

    Did this guy really just equalise Soviet oppression, where millions were imprisoned, tortured and killed simple because they opposed the gov to being a member of EU?

    I saw many nut cases on MMO-C, but this one may be the one.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    No in EU, they don't imprison us, neither torture us or kill us, why would they? they don't need to, we suicide instead, we have realized that it's impossible to remove their system. We realized this very well during the referendum in 2015.

    Get out from your bubble, Greece is not even the worst case, go and live in a poor country in the EU, see the despair of the rent of a 1 room house being higher than your monthly wage. Do it for a year or so and tell me how you will feel. You will then realize what the Ukrainian is fighting for.

    You are looking to be a disturbed individual who seems to live an unhappy life, but instead of looking inwards for a things that can be improved, created some grand, imaginary enemies for an easy blame shift for whatever bothers you.
