This is insane. The Soviet Union had by far the biggest losses during WW2 in the fight against Nazism. Around eight to ten million soldiers died during the war, and if you add the civilian casualties on top of that, the estimates sit at around 24 million people. Many of those people were Russian and Belorussian. Let them mourn their dead. It doesn’t matter that the Russian ambassador is a prick or not. I think it speaks volumes when the country that started WW2 does shit like this and it’s not okay.
By “the country that started WW2”, do you mean Germany or Russia? Because the USSR was also one of the initial aggressors of WW2. They invaded Poland together, divided eastern Europe between the USSR and Nazi Germany, invaded the Baltics and Finland. The USSR and Nazi Germany were basically allies until Hitler betrayed Stalin and invaded.
Read up on the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. They agreed to divide Poland, invaded together, and also divided the rest of eastern Europe and agreed not to attack each other. Up to the point of the Nazi breach of that pact, they had both been aggressors in WW2.

I don’t think you get to play the “well you started ww2 card” when you’re trying your damndest to start ww3 lmao
On the other hand this gives Russia exactly what they want, they get to play the victim.
Well, it’s Thursday.

They weren’t allies. Pick up a history book.
