Country: | My Great Grandmother was over there when the Russians invaded, visiting relatives.... I heard some real horrors from her up until she passed away.... Till the day she died, she cursed anytime something Russian came up, from TV and movies to the news...

Russia lost a lot of teritory of their political influence at the end of 80īs as east germany,poland,czechoslovakia and hungary...and doesnīt want to loose any country anymore...
We were also sovereign country in ī68 but you know what happened then...
Do you know there are negotations between USA-Poland-Czech Republic about US anti missiles defence? USA want to have missiles in Poland and anti missiles radar in Czech Republic...you should hear Russian (and especially Putinīs) expressions after every movement in the negotations...
...and btw, Ukraine wants to join NATO...
