>"This narrative of “oh my would you think of the innocent Russian people” is tiring. They’re all guilty, just like all of Germany was guilty in 1945." People are worried because sentiments like yours enable hate. You've literally just carte-blanche declared all Russians guilty. Even the protestors? The newborn babies? Call me hyperbolic but you were the one who said "all". Do I even need to go on about why such absolutism can lead to tragedy?

>Do I even need to go on about why such absolutism can lead to tragedy? They think that I and my people shouldn't exist, that my country shouldn't exist. We already have a tragedy on our hands -- humanitarian crisis, my people being exterminated, etc. This is no time for equivocation, a vast majority (>70%) support Putin and be extension the war. And protesting does not absolve your guilt. Ukraine has been at war since 2014. War in Georgia was in 2008, so lets not mince words. They have supported this regime for decades.

  > They think that I and my people shouldn't Who is they? Do you believe that Putin's regime is a democratic expression of the will of the Russian people? > my people being exterminated What the Ukrainian people are going through is absolutely horrible. But it is by no means an extermination. > They have supported this regime for decades. Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union for 7 decades. During this time, the Soviet Union invaded Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan. I would still consider Ukrainians victims of the Soviet Union and not supporters.

    I think I would know better about what my people are going through and what happened do them during Soviet Rule. They already did one genocide through Holodomor, so yes my people are being exterminated thanks for your expert opinion.
