China and India have ‘low intellectual potential' – top Zelensky aide
2023-09-14
[RT] The people leading India and China lack the ability to predict the long-term consequences of their policies, a senior aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has claimed.

Mikhail Podoliak pointed to what he called "the problem of the modern world," singling out India and China, in an interview with Ukrainian media on Tuesday.

"The problem with these countries is that they do not analyze the consequences of their own moves. These countries, unfortunately, have low intellectual potential," he said.
And they say Ukraine doesn't belong in the EU!

#19  #10 #8 So, you admit that some Ukrainians were killed by Soviet Army while fighting for the Nazis?

Why stop there? Polish Army killed some Ukrainians who were fighting for Russians who were fighting for Nazis. Big whoop. Bonus question: Who killed the chief rabbi of the Polish Army, and where?

#18  #2 Actually, that could not be further from the truth. The Big H said that Jews were intellectually superior and used that superiority, along with a sense of being all together against the host society, to ruthlessly exploit and live off of the host.

Naturally this wasn't true of all Jews, but almost every time you found a ruthless leech like this, he was Jewish. It's a case of confirmation bias. Like how cops get the idea that all black kids are violent when only 1/3 of them are.

#17  Underestimating your enemy is a piss poor strategy. That's why I always laugh when people try to tell me that China is on the verge of extreme economic problems and the country might disintegrate. They've been saying such things as long as I can remember but it ain't happened yet. India and China are both ancient civilizations that have forgotten more than Ukrainians ever knew.

#15  Interesting analogy.

Who are we supposed to be rooting for? The Bratva or the Kadyrovites?

#13  I sought for a long time how to explain the current Ukraine war to Americans. And I believe that I've found one.
Just think of the Mafia bar in the movie as Donbass

#12  Some serial killers...cutting the heads off their sisters' dolls

What!

#11  And by the Soviet Army's indiscriminate artillery barrages and subsequent 'shoot everything in sight' commands, so yes.

#9  Is that a great part of the world, or what?

#8  Ask the Ukrainians about the Holodomor.

At the end of WWII, Stalin 'invited' Russians and Belarusians into Donbass and Luhansk to replace the workers killed by the Holodomor, Nazis, and Soviet Army.

#7  ^Ask the Russians in Donbass & Luhansk. Ask the anti-Maidan protests in Odessa who were burned alive. Ask the Poles in Volhynia. Ask the Ukrainian Jews.

#6  I guess my point is, what are people who casually say this sort of thing capable of, given the opportunity?

#5  Anyone speaking in terms of diminishing the humanity of others deserves wary attention.

#4  It's said most serial killers got started abusing animals or cutting the heads off their sisters' dolls. So, it pays to take any utterances such as that reported above with a bit of caution. Given historical experience, and all...

#3  ^That's not the point MM. I don't think Indians, let alone Chinese, are in any danger from Ukrainians.
The point is: given the profound cultural achivements by Ukrainians ...

#2  Hmmm. Some guy in pre-WW II German used to say the same thing about Jewish people. It went poorly.
