You're projecting an idea of Western normalcy on 2 gopnik bydlo people. Meeting an Ukrainian and Russian is like meeting a Jeet, pol speaking: it's meeting someone not really human. Jeets actually have been kinder to me than Russians.
Both of them are vulgar, brutal, banal, aggressive, sadistic, with no empathy, with no ability to forge friendships, with no civility, no honour, psychopathic, unable to feel love,treating people as means to an end, deeply muscularly frozen.
I've had the unfortunue of going from the West (Italy) to the East (Estonia) and staying in a Russian school. It took me twenty years to realize that not all people in the world are fucked up BPD psychopaths who take delight in humiliating you and stabbing you in the back. It took me twenty years to realize that I'm not weird or wrong for liking culture and science, not liking violence, and treating people with decency and courtesy. It was a heavy realization that the last friends I had were in Italy twenty years ago and that afterwards I've been used by psychopaths in the making who instilled in me a profound distrust of people.
With my background and memory about the Russian and Ukrainian cursed sperm I went to school with, I'm not surprised that war erupted between these two countries. These people are worse than Jeets and niggers. You can blame economical and social influences - the bydlo 90s - but that doesn't erase their inherent shittiness. For me, this war is just like a school gopnik strelka between two gopnik hoods somewhere in Kopli: thugs are killing each other and removing their spiritual soulless filth from Earth.
