  Nah, their neural network is trained to produce some random sh*t that sound blamable and vicious. Didn't you heard the stories about crucified boy by Ukrainian army in Donbass? Russian state TV translate this kind of madness 24/7 for years now. The war is imminent, it's just a matter of time. It's impossible to dissipate that hate peacefully. Also, all Russian society is living in a hateful state, towards many things (their own government, immigrants, West, etc.). This energy will be used for destruction, one way or another, unfortunately.

    well then, didn't you hear about the policeman bludgeoned to death with an extinctor by armed revolutionaries in the US? Disinformation is everywhere, always. We as a Civilisation have to be able somehow to start accepting that "idiots" and "deplorables" from any side are just like us, humans....

      A slur it is, but I have yet to see a more profound understanding of state of the country. A regime that masterfully plays hate, both from country's own century long social self-immolation, and its own spin. The crux of the issue is very much that Kremlin plays, and direct this bottomless reservoir of insecurity, and anger, but even without it, the country's tragic fate through whole modern history will keep moving it astray. I telling people again, and again that in 1999 it were people in their completely free will, and sane mind who decided to elect a KGB official as a president. For there to not to be Putin II, Putin III, Putin IV, etc, this country's deep anguish must be extinguished. How one does it, I don't know. Maybe there will need to be a self-harm reduction course of nation state scale.

        Are you suggesting there was any sort of equivalence between the KGB and the CIA? Are you also suggesting there was any sort of equivalence between a low-level operative vs. a political appointee managing the national agency?

        Putin was elected because Yeltsin had ruined the country beforethen and he was the only credible alternative as it was clear the US would never allow the Communists or Socialists to take power. So the only choices left were Yeltsin Yeltsin 2, and Putin. People understandanly chose Putin as Yeltsin's policies were just done ruining millions of lives. It has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with the fact that Russia was in ruins, and that Putin was the only option that wasn't going to be interfered against again. So people voted for Putin. You probably would have done the same.

Just because you have never heard it, does not mean it does not exist. Look at how the article is written and you understand it takes sides.

  The form of this argument is "you can ignore the argument they make because they're biased, and you can tell they're biased by the argument they make." That's clearly not a valid inference.
