Well I guess I'm a gullible Kiwi living in the UK that never travelled to Eastern Europe. And never will, because of the volatility and the general stance towards gay people (mostly that we should be dead). As OP followed up, doesn't change the facts that Russian soldiers pillaged the crap out of Ukraine as soon as they got there; Russia may be resource wealthy but corruption means that only the boys at the top get the cream, seems like everyone outside of Moscow gets the shit end of the stick. Regardless, no amount of success excuses the slaughtering of innocents, slava ukraini.
