Russia is the only existential threat my country has. When you say you are “Russian”, I can’t seperate it if you mean nationality or ethnic background. If you lived in America, would you say you are “German” or “American”? Why not say “Ethnic german” or “German origin”. There are very few cases where someone has said they are “From russia” living here that didn’t believe kremlin. If the opposite is true, the seperation is instantly transmitted after, that they don’t trust Kremlin. Maybe I’m just retarded and can’t see the nuance here.
I don’t know about US affairs enough to say. If they did do terrorism, they should take accountability, if you did have the chance to make even the slightest difference. If you did your best to prevent it, you can pat yourself in the back. It doesn’t change the perception for those who are on the receiving end. I would have the same opinion if the US harassed, forced politics or use their culture as a trojan horse to win minds, in the end just oppressing. If that is the case, I have no problem if you lump them all together. You paid taxes, you funded the operation type of deal. I understand my views seem bigoted, but when you have this type of neighbor, it’s really hard to see otherwise. Especially when the country hasn’t changed the slightest, the culture in my eyes is tainted by propaganda and I am fed up with everything Russia. This is probably the last I’ll post about this, since nothing has really changed my mind. I’m just either missing something or just blinded. I will elaborate once more though; I have nothing against ethnic russians, but I messed up on that front. I don’t care what ethnicity you are, just the nationality. Maybe there is some sense in this, but that is what I think.
