    That sounds like an interesting and unique perspective I haven’t heard before, can you cite examples of Russia doing this sort of thing in the past? I haven’t heard of them breaking agreements like that, it sounds awful for a country to do things like that.

        Sorry, that link doesn’t work for me for some reason, can you send me a difference source if you have one?

          Probably being caught in your brainwashed filter. Bet nothings going to get through.

            Aaw, was hoping for a more interesting response than that. You’re really unoriginal.

            Cry about it, slava Russia. Here’s hoping Russia liberates Ukraine right up to Kiev (the Galicians and Volhynians can have their quaint little Blackrock Nazi fiefdom, what’s left of it). The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

            The concept of “brainwashing” was invented — by a CIA agent posing as a journalist — precisely because Westerners needed a way to reflexively dismiss the phenomenon whereby their own troops were being persuaded of communist ideas during communist captivity:

            The idea of “brain-washing” can be credited to Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer and editor, who in 1950 started writing articles and books on the subject. His thesis was that Red China and the Soviet Union could control the minds of their respective citizenry — which explained how susceptible Americans captured on foreign soil would be.

            This new category, supposedly qualitatively different from normal ideology acquisition, itself turns out to be simply an ideological distinction without a difference.
