Except Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is fighting in self-defense. So yeah, fuck Putin.
but then it's fuck russia too
No. Fuck Russian leadership. Let's make it clear, the aggression is Putin and his choices.
and most of the russian people are supporting it...I wish it would be different, but even with more than a year into it, with all the sanctions, the deaths, the changed lifestyle, 2/3 of the russian population (rich, poor, countryside or towns) are supporting the russian leadership and the war...
I'd claim support too if the alternative was jail.
that's too easy...the hate for all what is west is anchored deeply in the russian society. This country has been brainwashed for centuries.
Keyword: brainwashed.
still it was accepted by the russians for centuries...sorry this country could have put putin and his propaganda down but they decided against it, to keep their lifestyle...
I abhor russia for that.
In a way, can you blame the average Russian for being afraid to speak out against leadership, whatever their personal feelings may be? Ever heard of Lenin? Stalin? The Romanovs? Political dissidents are not and never were treated kindly in Russia.
yes I do!
I have friends who left russia or belarus for speaking out what they think of this perverted vision of russia! They did not held back and it's the fault of the russian people that they have this leadership, because they rather accepted it for all the years instead rising against it!
Putin has all the power because not enough people fought him!
If only all Russians were so brave. Not sure I would be in a country where you can be arrested for literally saying Two words.
then do not wonder if at some point in the future they still knock on your door and deport you and your family...
All Russians? I dont think they'd fit on my front porch.
only the cunts
Right, so in other words, not "all russians" are cunts. Which is exactly the point ive been trying to make.
most of them then and I never wrote that all russians stand behind putin
Alright pal I have better things to do than argue with a stranger on the internet all day. Keep living in your fantasy world.
u too βοΈ
Yes, this is due to propaganda, made and controlled by Russian leadership. There is no independent press or TV in Russia.
The average Russian isn't to blame. Are many of them brainwashed? Yes, but that alone doesn't make them evil. Also, I'm pretty sure you made up that 2/3 of Russians statistic.
Don't let the decisions of a handful of legacy-obsessed warmongers trick you into hating the population of an entire country.
it did fell but is is still high: https://cepa.org/article/do-russians-still-embrace-the-war-yes-and-no/
Did you even read the article you posted?
It's not just Putin. A lot of Russians actually support the war.
@Zoldyck @Luci
And are apparently still actively vacationing in Crimea which is absurd. War needs to be brought to their ignorant asses hard.
Thatβs a metric fuckton of Putin clones fighting in this war then.
I hope him and every single one of his enablers take a ripe pineapple up the butt.
that would be too harmless.
Probably... but it would be a nice start.
Fuck the Kremlin and CCP.
