PSA : Please don't direct any hate towards the Russian people.

My heart goes out to the people in Ukraine but i've seen a lot of hateful things said to the Russian people. please remember that the average Russian citizen isn't the Russian military/government. a shopkeeper in Russia isn't the one invading Ukraine.

i hope this settles down for the sake of Ukraine and Russian civilian people. :(

I don't blame the Russian people or even the Russian military personnel. It's all Putin.
The civilians have protested and the military personnel have to do what they're told. It is all a very sad situation.

@chrisCA I have not. But if someone was threatening the lives of my family every single day, I'd pull the trigger. Wouldn't you?

@carpediem You can't say for sure unless you have been in that situation. Studies have been done on weapons, from past wars, where some soldiers chose not to fire on an enemy.

@chrisCA I'd agree. But no one has threatened the lives of my family before either. Testing my resolve in that regard is NOT a good idea

Itโ€™s their leaderโ€™s fault, not the Russian population. I feel bad for them to for not getting accurate information.

@Keepitsimple right, and majority of Russians were for Putin last 20 years and now its not their fault ???
Keepitsimple ยท 51-55, F
@Khenpal1 Itโ€™s not their fault, itโ€™s Putinโ€™s.

Exactly. People go nuts. Many Russians don't even agree with lots of things that happen in their country, let alone emigrants or foreign students.

They are already renaming a product called Russian ice cream. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ People, please, don't be dumb-asses. The product is not imported from Russia.

@CrazyMusicLover Yes. We are supposed to boycott coke and Mcdonalds and KFC and others because they won't pull out of Russia...

The thing is...they are franchises. Also...Putin doesn't give one flying fuck. Those corporations pullling out of Russia wont stop Putin.

We hate corporations and we find every opportunity to beg them to do something so that we can then hate them more when they do not.

@JaggedLittlePill I think we also shouldn't let down Russian people who try to fight against home censorship, misinformation and who condemn war. What kind of message do we send to them if we start hating the whole nationality, not just the regime and aggressors? It's in their hands too, after all. They need a proper rebellion from inside.

@CrazyMusicLover I agree.

The average Russian Ivan citizen does support Putin and bombing of Ukraine. You must have not seen all the hateful things they say and praise Chechnya army for helping them with 10 000 of muslim chechen soldiers today. The blood thirsty Ramzan Kadyrov used to chop russian soldiers heads off on camera in last Chechen Russian war, now they are thanking him for going to Ukraine with them calling them โ€œbrothersโ€.

You have to realize however that the Russian people and military could and should take Putin out. Just like here in the USA we need to grow balls and force the liberals / globalists out of control but due to our system we have to do not only at the top but start at the bottom in the schools, city and state governments.

Very true, the Russian People are being misled by a tyrant and most probably don't even know it. Putin is the one to blame here, but hey, he's a "Genius", remember where that quote came from.

Never directed any negativity to Russian people. Mostly to Putin and the Oligarchs who set up the system.

I really dislike what I am seeing people say about the Russian people. We have started to dehumanize them. It is sickening.
iamonfire696 ยท 41-45, F
Itโ€™s not the Russianโ€™s fault. Putin is even banning communication about the war so they donโ€™t even know exactly what is going on.
Cantsayno ยท 56-60, M
@iamonfire696 the old 70โ€™s saying comes to mind. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR !!!!!
iamonfire696 ยท 41-45, F
@Cantsayno Putin needs to go
Cantsayno ยท 56-60, M
@iamonfire696 I agree
