cool, so how did russia manage to enslave and make everyone work for them, if russians are so weak and stupid? do you understand that you are in a self-defeating argument?  civilization is a self-management job.  either you figure out ways to grow as a country (be that through conquest or other ways), or you don't figure it out - and remain a beggar for the rest of your life stealing other people's glory. ukraine has no achieved anything - and the fact that it lost 20% of its territory just 30 years into being semi-independent says more than needs to be said: ukrianian politicians are mental-children, and the ukrainian population is a meme-society.
