So you think that any non-democratic country is totally irresponsible for what happens inside? This in the world where China and Saudi Arabia are top players.

- fauigerzigerk 10y agoI would not characterise the actions of undemocratic regimes as representing the "will of the country". The fact that we accept undemocratic regimes as legal representatives of their countries for pragmatic reasons doesn't change that.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoThen you should totally stop blaming Russians. Who were under undemocratic regime while a part of another entity (USSR).
- fauigerzigerk 10y agoI'm not blaming the Russian people. I'm blaming the USSR, that is the regime in power at the time. I guess what went wrong in this debate - and it was my fault as well - is that for a democratic country, we can often get away with using sloppy language that conflates "country" and "people". But for undemocratic regimes, that no longer works.
