Oof. This sounds like the official Russian narrative.

It doesn't look like you're here to address OP's question, just to push your political views with a throwaway account.

I'm not gonna take the bait, but maybe try Twitter, Reddit, FB, etc. They might be more receptive (at least to arguing with you).

This is an incredibly dangerous position to take. Every argument should be taken on its merits, regardless of who else holds that position. Vilifying an argument simply because an adversary holds it is drifting in a direction you really do not want to go in, if you have any love of freedom whatsoever.

No, just a distaste of debating propaganda. I think it's perfectly fine to ignore dubious arguments rather than engaging with them.
