I agree with you. The West has developed a catastrophic foreign policy for decades and hundreds of thousands of people have died because of it, possibly millions. I don’t hate Russian people, just Putin. Here in England, Putin sent two KGB assassins to kill a Russian dissident, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, with a highly poisonous nerve agent called Novichok. During the attempt, they made no effort to protect the general public and Novichok was found in numerous places in public restaurants, etc. It eventually killed an innocent woman who came into contact with it. The Skripals barely survived the attack. Putin denied any responsibility, until our government showed him HD CCTV video of his agents preparing the attack. Putin then said they were rogue agents acting on their own, which is clearly bullshit. He murders or jails his political opponents. He's beyond contempt.

There is certainly an over-emphasis on Russia by Eurpeans and Americans.

Which makes discussing russian influence in Africa , breaking the international law, a bit ironic with people from the US or Europe.. i.e they are all after the same thing, they all employ the same tactics. Running your mouth in resemblance of care doesn't really change the reality.

Same applies to how they see China.

The emphasis is so pronounced that when Arabs were calling for the Democrats to act in Gaza, the conversation always turned to Russia in Ukraine!!!!!! I have seen the comparisons repeatedly including in this website, too much whataboutism and selective outrage.

Russia is evil
China is evil
Africa should instead trust Europe and the US.

Lolz

The Russian invasion of the Ukraine was wrong and needs to be stopped with Russia ceding Ukrainian territory back to Ukraine.

I blame the Russian invasion largely upon Putin and Russian oligarchy. Most Russian people are not evil.

Russia is being villainized because they engaged in a war of conquest which is seen as a thing of the barbaric past that we don't want to return.

The USA is guilty of its own atrocities and war crimes. But this isn't a competition about who is more wrong. We should be examining our own actions and trying to improve, but it remains valid to call out others for bad behavior. If you let a murderer run rampant because you have also committed crimes, then everyone else is suffering even more by your inaction.

@ViciDraco what have Ukraine been doing to Russian speakers in Ukraine since 2014 ? The war didn’t start in 2022, Ukraine started it, long before that

@ididntknow 2014? When Russia stole Crimea?
ididntknow · 51-55, M
@ViciDraco The people of Crimea voted to become part of Russia, ask them, if you don’t believe me

No I am a human being who rejects media misinformation
No.

But Putin has been trying to resurrect the Russian Empire or Soviet Union.

He has been using aggression against Ukraine to try to take his peoples' minds off of domestic issues, including stealing elections, murdering opponents...

Too many kept trying to restoke the fires of the Cold War because their careers or profits depended on it.
I love Russians, I hate the government

That charge is of fearing Russia

No - the charge should be levelled against the Russian President and his henchmen.
No. Neither is the mainstream USA or Europe - that's pure HATRED of Russia, no fear!
You gotta hate the fact that Russians confronted capitalism first!

@Roundandroundwego gpt says russia is no longer a communist state?
@thrash no kidding. But they're making Europe hate them anyway. And I think that knowing stuff changes nothing in the West. Yup. Hate Russia and hate Russia or hate Russia! You have those choices. You sound impervious to historical facts. Hate Russia - you don't need reasons? You can not have reason.

@Roundandroundwego there's history and then there's recent history

you seem impervious to recent history—america been killing so much more civilians. but it's ok because they're mostly middle-eastern ppl, right...

I don't hate Russia or Russians just Putin for being a serial killer (mostly of political rivals)

@YoMomma In Russia there is great hate of the west and USA. Anyway latest news US gets rare earths for 1 trillion , Ukraine gets all weapons to fight Russia with.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
Most of us common people in the US don't hold I'll will toward people in any other country unless we're forced to defend ourselves.

We don't give away trillions but we do lend our wealth to help people if we can help in a dignified way. Weapons are for deterrence, not yippy kayo let's fight. Stabilizing the peace and having the might to put down aggression is doing what's right. And when the responsibility of a wealthy country like this becomes distorted by greed for war profits or spoils, common people everywhere should object to the lies if they can. If they can't then at least they shouldn't hate those of us who may safely speak of peace with strength, safety with restraint, and cooperation with trust.

No. I just hate the fact that they are interfering in US policy to the extent that they are.
ididntknow · 51-55, M
It’s because they watch mainstream media, and they suck up everything they are told to think, they are incapable of thinking for themselves,
