>The propaganda inside Russia is very strong. Russians need sanctions, they need to start suffering (economically or otherwise). And then maybe they'll wake up.

What makes you sure that it won't cement their position even more? Western countries hurting russia's economy via sanctions basically confirms the "evil westerners" narrative.

> they need to start suffering

You just stated that the people of the whole country need to start suffering. There already was period in our history when one politicial stated that we must all be destroyed as an ethnic group and our lands repopulated, and that was not good at all.

Ukrainians are already suffering. And Americans too will suffer from the sanctions that Americans impose. But I am willing to suffer economically to protect a free republic that truly represents its people, because they are people, just like me.

Euh... Europe is taking all the 'consequences' and economic damage from the sanctions, not the US.

It hasn’t even been a week. Wait until the gas prices are $6 a gallon. You’ll be feeling it soon enough.

No good side, but one is better than the other.

Which one? It's not obvious.

So you say that a country, which keeps putting itself into war over and over again, killing millions of people mostly based on lies they tell us, isn't evil?

Evil is a pretty strong word to toss around like that. The Nazis were evil. How is the West evil?

Western countries do a number of bad things, but they're not evil.

>"How is the West evil?"

Killing millions of people after WWII for sure qualifies. What else would you call it?

Huh? Explain

What do you need explained?

Have you forgotten all the wars the US put themselves into over and over again, often based on lies?

Have you forgotten what the CIA did, and still does, to countries all over the world?

Drone assassination programs are pretty evil.

Oh wait, did you mean evil to us, or evil to everybody else?

The parent asserted that Nazis are evil. While I'm sure there is a range of behaviors that constitute "evil" I don't think a drone assassination campaign in any way compares to the deliberate and systematic attempt to remove all members of certain groups (i.e. Jewish people, among others) from Earth.
Re:Russia to restrict Facebook access for 'censoring' its media by z3c0 on Friday February 25, 2022 @06:53PM (#30473868)
And that parent was using Nazis to disclaim the US as evil. The US doesn't just get off the hook because they haven't resorted to genocide.
