When Russia bombed Syrian hospitals ... invaded Chehenia and other countries ... had assasins murder people living EU, likely caused explosion in Czechs (2014), likely shut down plane, supported dictators around the world ...

Common, Ukrainian invasion did not happened out of blue. And I don't even mention Russia actively trying to influence politics of ther countries to the worst.

Let’s put it like this: being critical of the American government does not force you to be Americophobic.

> invaded Chehenia

Invaded their own territory.

Nah. It was not theirs. It was invasion twice.

Just because you was stole something does not mean you can steal it again and again every time owners get it back.

Are the states of the US, Canada, and Australia (to name a few) on stolen land?

how do you deal with the insane double standard? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc#/media/File:... I'm not advocating against russophobia per se, but americanophobia seems similarly legitimate

A very general western hatred (not merely US!) has been brewing over Russian social media for awhile now, and the conversation of whether to deny Russians their prerogative to hate the west is not really there. There isn't even much conversation on western media as to what the state of Russian social media is even like.

That 1972 picture somehow implies none of Russian escalation of aggression between late 1990 and 2022 happened?

Should we go into how many countries Russia occupied at that point and how oppressive and murderous it was?
