You are ignorant, persistent in your ignorance, and believe that your radical political position gives you license to disregard inconvenient facts.
I am reminded of my recent conversation with a certain Baku-born Jerusalem-based Russian nationalist blogger. He argued that the (well-accepted among great Slavic scholars such as Trubetskoy and Vasmer) claim that Proto-Slavic borrowed a large number of words from an early Germanic language (Old High German or Gothic) such as князь, витязь, хлеб is a Russophobic falsification of history. His argument: князь does not at all sound like *kuningaz (the reconstructed Proto-Germanic form). I replied that historical linguistics does not work this way (i.e. you should look at the Proto-Slavic ancestor of князь, not the modern Russian word). After a few more exchanges, the conversation ended with him saying something like, "Вы мерзавец, что неудивительно для русофоба". Your conversation with me and your other interlocutors is about as productive.
