are you russophobic?

it seems like russia is often painted as the ‘evil’ nation, especially in the context of recent conflicts, but when looking at the broader picture of recent years, hasn’t the u.s. caused more harm to innocent civilians (e.g., in the middle east, drone strikes, etc.)? why does russia seem to be more villainized in comparison, even if their actions aren’t necessarily more damaging in recent history?

@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.

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.
