russia is actively murdering it's neighbors. There is no need trying to paint this as something deeper.

Eh, that user is just blindly aligned with the notion that any criticism of a particular nation(s) or policy is rooted in racism.

They're very much not interested in addressing the issue of how Russia in particular enjoys fighting wars and thus a reflection of their culture and beliefs towards fellow human beings.

And which nation are you lucky enough to be from that doesn’t have a history of waging unjust wars?

Do you think 85 years ago when the British and French were anti-German that they were being racist? Or perhaps they just didn't like people from a certain nation?
