It shouldn't be Russians, but Putin

Edit: You know what, some Russians are good people. Not everyone in Russia is a bootlicker

Of course this is true but when youre in a conflict you dont have the luxury of making distictions.

This is like Americans reminding us 'not all Americans are like this'. Its like, yeah bro we know but your country is actively threatening ours, so tough.

Russians are good the same way Americans are good, as in that a huge amount of them support a piece of shit.

And probably for the same reason. Bad education, that's what I think as a Russian.

Not saying every Russian is bad, and they're obviously victims of lies and propaganda... But still. Don't they overwhelmingly support the invasion of Ukraine? That's like if most Americans were fine with us violently murdering, raping, and torturing our bloody way through Canada (please let this not happen)...

I mean there are a massive amount of people in America in complete support of the genocide in Gaza. But I guess the analogy doesn't work for Americans because the children dying are brown.
