Yes, this was a bad choice. |
Ok, not a laughing matter, but that's at you: :rotfl:
You guys speak of Putin's decision as if it was clear cut thing. All reports point to that the escape hatch was jammed and regardles of whom would try to open it, it was not possible to save people there. The way it ended, cold death after hours in water is awful. Saying Putin could have actually saved them is just putting them blame on him for something he had really no control over. But no, the only thing clear to you is the opened hatch footage showing bubbles coming out, implying people lived there for ages. Don't mix politics with reality.

Meanwhile, Estonia* in another attempt to appologise farshism of 1940s have forbidden all soviet symbols in Estonia. That includes red flags, CCCP tshirts, desmatlement of soviet monuments (one on a mass grave in center of Tallinn was painted over by vandals last night while government does nothing about it and silently agrees)
and even sickle and hammer are now forbidden to own. At the same time a nazi monument is being looked after in a small town in Estonia, which brings Waffen SS legion soldeirs who fought against red army and participated in mass murdering of civilians along with nazis. 1 month ago, one of former members of the legion, whose name shall not be said, was let go by court even though the leading holocoust organization was pressing charges against him. In Estonia he was more or less a hero. The organization says they'll get him anyway. The country's population of about 1.2 milion still has about 300000 people (majority of which are russians, pensioneers, etc) who have a grey passport (Alien) and no citizenship rights for more than 15 years, even though many of these people were born and lived all their life in Estonia. Russia in Estonia often called as Turk in Germany. EU closes its eyes on overwhelming minority human rights violation on its own territory.
Nice, huh?
Tell me more about Democracy in European Union. Please, I beg you.
*Estonia is part of EU, but its actions and opinions expressed may be different to those of other countries in European Union.
