We don't have war here. Syria and refugees are part of a bigger plan. It's not like the government suddenly became philantrophic and wanted to help people running from war. For decades Kurds and Turks lived happily together. Again, government's agenda is to divide and conquer so they made Kurds "enemy" to some (gullible) part of the population. Surely it's not "easy" though my point stands: when you control mainstrea…

Your country is at war with Syria. So yes, you do live in war. It's not so noticeable however, I agree.

I was implying that there is no war where I live, to contrast with the situation in Ukraine.

It's not even comparable to what's happening in Ukraine.

>For decades Kurds and Turks lived happily together Which decades were those?

Ever since Turkey existed.

Sure there are sometimes conflicts but most of them are government propaganda trying to divide otherwise perfectly happy people.

No we are not. And this absurd fake news that the west is responsible needs to end.

Well, I asked because in the face of similar events, I never remember a reaction as strong as the one that we are adopting against Russia. So I think it indeed has something to do with Russia, and not with the event itself.

Similar events? Please specify at least a couple of the similar events you have in mind…

Yandex going belly up would certainly send a message to Russia Like Google Search going out in the western world

send message and then what? the propaganda there would tell that west is using any chance to put russia down and here is another example. People in the west are too naive to realise that in russia no body asks what people think. The level of propaganda is so strong that people would believe whatever they are told. The idiocy of those in the west who think that russians can decide something once they face sanctions is…

By your description seems idiocy is in the East, more than the West.

They cannot think, so we are stupid for not adjusting to their limitations / conformity?

Unfortunately, Russian propaganda is based of facts which are hard to dispute: * Right Sector - Ukrainian nationalist neo-nazi political party in Ukrainian parliamentary * Azov Detachment - neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, who participated in wars in Donbass * Lots of streets are named after Stepan Bandera, for example Stepan Bandera Avenue in Kyiv, who was a leader of Ukrainian ultranationalists and c…

Very convenient facts. Eastern Europe is full of far-right, even Russia itself. This invasion would have happened regardless of any Nazi presence in Ukraine

Yeah, I know. I've just listed the facts what Russian television transmits everyday...

I believe the comparison was between Turkey and Russia, not Turkey and Ukraine.

Not arguing against sanctions in general, but for South Africa, the collapse of the soviet union, which had been propping up the south african economy, played a more important role. https://reason.com/2013/12/06/did-economic-sanctions-help-en...

That makes zero sense. The apartheid government was staunchly anti-Communist.

There will be collateral damage. ~20% of Kyrgyzstan’s GDP is remittance from Russia. Sanctions should be kept on Russia. This is an opportunity to further unite.

Supporting these affected nations is a win for all involved, except Russia. We should prevent them from going into recession, enable them to reduce their dependence on Russia, while strengthening our relationship with them.

I don't think it'll send the message you or the West think it will. I'm not even Russian and I think this all amounts to bullying by the West because they're petulant and can't stand the fact that they are powerless to step in with actual force.

In response to one country invading their neighbour you think that economic sanctions are petulant bullying? What do you think a more appropriate response would be?

I mean.. do you really think this is going to happen? No one will pay attention to Kyrgyzstan just at they aren't paying attention now. I don't understand these flowery, optimistic arguments that have no bearing to reality. Russia is still the local superpower in the area and they will likely continue to lean on them for support. The alternative is to entirely change their economy to rely on western support, and except western countries to actually bother to try and prop up Kyrgyzstan
