Note how this is personified in the official propaganda and media. This is not "Russia", this is "Putin". This is a typical tactic to deny that whatever actions Russia has been taken reflect deeper interests and (Russian) public opinion but is instead only the result of a "mad man".
- fooker 2y agoMy university had a number of Russian grad students, they were all lowkey supportive of the war.
- gigatexal 2y agoAnecdata sure … but I know some Russians that left Russia because of the war and unfortunately I know some that support it, too. Buuuuut to say that Russia === Putin and they’re the same in that his war is their war is insane. IIF they had real open elections and still went to war then I’d say you have a point. But they don’t. It’s very much a war he is doing not that they want.
