Most Americans have a pretty favorable view of Russian citizens and culture. It's the dictators for life and abuses of civil liberty we take issue with. We want to see a better life for all human beings that doesn't involve jackboots on necks, it's got nothing to do with wanting to "see Russia destroyed." Personally, though, I do get irritated with straw men, fake outrage, and false dichotomy when it's trotted out to justify the actions of tyrants in pursuit of tyranny.
