please don’t hate the russian people or those of russian descent because of the government or putin 🙏

we do not all agree with the government. we are our own people with our own thinking patterns.

    So, what are you doing to stop them?

        Really? I’m pretty sure my country isn’t invading anyone, isn’t kidnapping children, isn’t bombing civilians, etc etc.

        What’s the hypocricy?

          I guess that depends on which your country is, but quite a few are involved in exactly those activities, aren’t they?

            I dunno, the number of western countries actively invading another country for the purpose of displacing the population and taking their land by moving in their own people can’t be very high. I definitely can’t name “quite a few”.

              I’m mostly referencing the US, without knowing what country the previous commenter’s from, because “america” was in the original post.

                The US is doing a LOT of dubious shit, but not invading other countries for the reason of annexing it and replacing the population with your own (thats more of a historic thing, but that’s a historic thing for pretty much every country)

            This is absolutely terrible, and anyone involved in this need to be tried for warcrimes. But as bad as it is, this isn’t a war of agression, or intentional genocide.

            And I’d also like to point out that the british people DID infact remove that government. They did exactly the thing that we’d all like to see happen in Russia. The opposite of hipocrisy.

              How did they remove the government? Did they riot against it in the streets? Was anyone actually persecuted from the war criminals or did they simply walk free and are now committing more war crimes?
