  But that's the key difference between west and Russians. One wouldn't blink an eye to kill one of their own people to advance, while other tries to protect their citizens at almost any cost...

    Which is which?
    • postsantum 5y ago
      That's not always obvious. Luckily, we have a lot of movies showing us the difference between goodies and baddies

        It's a good thing we have Hollywood to help us calibrate our moral compasses!
        • Dah00n 5y ago
          Yeah, look at Hollywood and calibrate to the opposite!

          You're getting downvoted but the producer of the show "24" has stated that it was a "patriotic" show and it's at least in part responsible for the acceptance in the American public opinion of the torture inflicted upon terrorism suspects post-9/11. TV/movies are not mere entertainment, they often carry a message.

            It's an open secret that US military influences movies to whitewash themselves. The message is that regardless of some dark pages of history, military and CIA are fundamentally the Good Guys(tm) https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/02/27/nsec-f27.html https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/02/27/nsec-f27.html
