Don’t trust the Russians has been safe doctrine in europe for several decades.

Bandit state.

Same is said about the english, spanish, french, dutch colonizers, still didn’t pay for wreaking the world in their favor.

But for the French they all got rid of their colonies. Russia's historical land empire lives on, and the breakup of their most recent greater one is mourned by their current leader. Lets have some perspective.

great example, the french. Still encrusted north of brazil and calling themselves part of the Amazon. you really should have some perspective

I'm not interested in participating in your 'whatabout those evil European colonisers'. Pointing to historical colonies and injustice to excuse worse from Russia now isn't adding to the conversation.

did you just say JEHOVAH?

Some xenos appear to have few other goals in life than getting feared. It would almost appear impolite to not give them what they desire so much.

Comment is not xenophobic, it's anti-imperialistic.

I didn't say don't trust it, just thought it was an expected Russian take.

I have deep respect for so many Russians I've met and interacted with, though. They're not Putin.
