In the US that has never had any cross-country war on its territory. Basically, they came, they killed almost all autochthons and then fought among themselves. The US is a baby country. It is little more than 200 years old. That is nothing. Some of the Japan companies are 1000 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">These independent thinkers do not know and understand the history of Europe. The comments I read about Brexit&#8230; God&#8230;just no comments on that. Total lack of understanding Brits, of the United Kingdom, of Europe.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">These people, sitting thousands of miles away from any war, are actually talking about war, and arguing Russia does not want a war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Well, I would like these people to get a different view. Imagine you are in Kuwait. There is a war 600 miles away &#8211; in Syria. Imagine you are in Poland. There is a war 600 miles away &#8211; in the Ukraine. Now imagine that you are in Miami and there is a war in Atlanta &#8211; 600 miles away \u2013 10 hours by car. Do you still do not care?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Putin does not want a war in Europe. Let&#8217;s name countries in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Yes, Great Britan \u2013 actually the full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">Yes, France \u2013 this country with Eiffel tower.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">And yes, Germany \u2013 the Nazis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">No, Brussel is not a country&#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-US\">And the\u00a0Sicilian mafia is not a country either.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Now look at the map. Do you see this big blue area on the right? This is Europe, these are the European countries, these are the countries that for the 50 years were under Soviet control.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-650\" style=\"width: 891px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-650\" src=\"http:\/\/juliachodor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Europe_blank_map.jpg\" alt=\"The blue part.

What does it mean? Actually, the greater part of Europe was under the Soviet Union control \u2013 do you realize that now, when you see it on a map?<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">I agree that Putin does not want a war&#8230; with France, Germany or England, he just wants to take what he thinks belong to Russia \u2013 central and eastern Europe \u2013 this blue part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Come to, what you call easter Europe, and talk to people, they will tell you, we are already at war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">By saying that Putin does not want the war, you push central and eastern Europe in his hands. And me, like millions of others, do not want that. We want to enjoy the life like you do, we also have a right to travel, to sit in the sun, to buy food. Just because we were born in other countries makes us worse, limits our right? <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">If you think like this, explain me why&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a little sick of so called the independent Americans thinkers and experts.
