The Slavs have given the world some brilliant individuals, but generally they're dumb as a rock. Slavs are stubborn, easily brainwashed, self-destructive. But brave. Maybe being dumb makes them brave, who knows, but I know that no matter what Putin and others say, the heroic resistance of the Ukrainians is a fact. Reminds me of similar heroic resistance by the Soviets or Russians in the 20th or 19th century, or the Serbs in WW1.
