Support for the Ukrainians had collapsed after two years of interacting with them online.
This two-year period - you mean starting from the Feb 24th invasion (so the "collapse" as up until about two months ago)?
And what kinds of experiences with Ukrainians did they say they were having?
And as for the Ukrainian side, their opinion of the common people of Russia is no better.
Surprise, surprise. They have their physical survival to be concerned about now. And no longer have the attention or empathy resources to ponder the mystries the Russian soul.
There's also the compelling argument I hear them make: that anyone in Russia who understands what's up with Putin and Ukraine, has the financial means to flee (and no compelling reason, such as an elderly family member, to stay) -- should have done so long ago by now.
What else do you honestly expect after what's been happening since 2014/2022?
- throw-the-towel 3y agoYou are wholly missing the point I'm making. I was not making any claim on whether someone's behaviour is good or bad. What I claimed was, interpersonal links between nations will probably fuel mutual hatred once the nations find themselves at war.
