We're not talking about the government here. We're talking about regular people.

  Both the parent and grandparent were talking primarily about the Russian government, not regular people. (The parent also went on an annoying stupid tangent about Russian tourists, but their main point was about Russian government's repeated threats to basically start an all-out nuclear war if its latest colonial project is not allowed to succeed, including Medvedev's not so subtle threat from just the other day).

  Regular people create value that makes the war possible and pay taxes that finance the war.
