>I don't hear Russia on the world stage as vocal about it as the US

Does that, matter?

Does your hearing one country talk about this topic, and you not hearing another country talk about it matter or mean something in some way?

For me it does.

For me it does as a major part of my opinion forming mechanism is actually listening to the official declaration of countries regarding matters of importance to me.

Is there a reason why you are asking me these questions? Should it not matter? Am I an idiot for listening to the official statements of countries regarding international matters?

Do you consider the buzzfeed article "official declaration of countries"?

I feel like you anthropomorphize this situation almost to irrelevance.

"This country complained, this one didn't." is such a simplification that I think you're missing the actual topic.

If two countries nuked each other and one complained more, would it matter?

No.

For me, yes, the official statements on the nuking countries would matter.

Why though?

Countries make statements for internal audiences, external, etc. They're hardly a good indicator of much of anything.

Let alone that you'd be basing your opinion about what they said, not what they did.

I base my opinions on a multitude of factors including and with giving great importance to what is being said. It’s easier for me to identify a lie from what is said and done at the source than from some 3rd party conspiracy machination.

OK, It's hard to tell as most of your focus is on who says what here.

> than from some 3rd party conspiracy machination.

I've no idea what that means.
