      Yeah, it’s Canadians that liberated my hometown, we still have a kickass moose statue commemorating it.

        Yeah the eastern front was brutal.

        One thing that people don’t really mention though is that the USSR figures include all the republics. Something like 20% of the USSR deaths in WW2 were Ukrainians.

        The Eastern Front was brutal, to ignore it as a major part of the war spits on the graves of a truly staggering amount of dead soldiers.

      I’ve mostly had bad interactions with Serbians I’ve met but I still won’t condemn and entire group.

      That’s a little harsh. Let’s reserve our scorn for the people who deserve it. The vast majority of Americans are victimized by this president as well, and the smart ones are going to need refugee care eventually.

      Some of us don’t live there, some of us have common sense and stand 70 for their fellow human, some of us are worth a shit.

      …I mean, not me -Im a piece of shit, but my wife and kids.
