Both northern Ukraine and Belarus were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for centuries, as "Red Ruthenia" and "White Ruthenia" respectively. The Grand Duchy was famous for its religeous tolerance, and had a huge Jewish population. When Russia seized those lands in the late 18th century, they aggressively erased their history, declaring that Belarus and Ukraine had always been part of Russia, and that there was absolutely no difference between Ruthenians and Russians. The region was used as a dumping ground for Jews from the rest of Russia: the "pale of settlement" beyond which they had no right of residency. There, they became prime targets for pogroms, and later for the invading Nazis.


Ok that makes sense, The Russians claiming a historical/ethnic/religious claim to the lands.

Does this only apply to this region of eastern Europe though? In medieval England King Ethelred wiped out the entire population of Danes living in eastern Britain. The Danes he murdered were colonists who were fluent in Anglo-Saxon and mixed into the English population.

Lots of other examples too.

Worse still the media coverage of Ukrainian refugees is showing journalists covering the exodus of refugees are just as bad

Sorry, Ukrainians get no sympathy from me any longer, Now I understand why the neo-Nazi Azov battation has so much support in Ukraine.

Binary nonsense.
You can't blame all Ukrainians for the racism of some.
You can't blame all Russians for what pootin is doing.
You can't blame all Germans for what happened to the Jews.
You can't blame all non-indigenous Australians for what happened to the native Australians.

Now, go stand in the corner and think about what you have said. :evil: :mrgreen:

Well, by the logic above, we should have sanctioned literally every country.

There are wrongdoings that need to be adressed but freaking not by an invasion and shelling cities!
