    Although the more I learn about Russia the more I hate the every day Russian

    Meh, if we’re going to blame the citizens for the country, my ire goes first to the US. Who’s populous doesn’t even have the excuses of WWII and the horrors of the 90s in Russia for their embrace of monsters.

    Putin is a war criminal and should hang - but what he claims as precedents (illegal NATO unilateral bombing of Yugoslavia, illegal invasion of Iraq, etc) isn’t made up either. The West is pretty ridiculous in yelling about warmongering when George W Bush is still a respected former President making pictures after killing a million people and most Americans can’t even tell you what countries the US is bombing this week.

      US and it’s imperialistic crimes are nothing to sneeze at. Not gonna come close to try and justify what they have done (banana wars for ex.) / are doing (terror campaign against it’s citizens for ex.)
