Oh, russians re-elected same govenment for past 35 years cheering invading neighbors every couple years since inception of russain federation.
Problem is not in dictator. Problem is imperialistic russia and every russian citizen who does nothing about it. They should be denied every service from civilized world until they stop their fascism.
And before you ask, yes, I did protest and depose dictator.
Honestly, this is like saying that someone who speaks Italian would mistake your for speaking Spanish. That's how it sounds. If you disagree - you clearly don't speak both languages. Just because some words are similar doesn't make them sound same.
you mean nationalists/imperialists like Navalny whose main beef with current russian administration is that is corrupt, meaning it is not being effective enough?
Honestly, not sure why westerners yearn to find good fascists.
Oh no! Imagine the horror of losing your job. It compares nothing to literal genocide their army perpetrating.
And yes, it is their, not their government, not some mysterious leaders. Russians reelected same government for 35 years with it invading neighbours pretty much every 5 years.
How is seeing more Ukrainian flags a discrimination?
Discrimination implies something harmful. Like invading neighbor country and perpetrating genocide. This complaint says more about Ivanov than anything else.
In the world where people with authority lie casually and bots are cheaper and smarter than people, anonymity does not grant freedom or empower democracy anymore. West is hopelessly outgunned to modern polit&propaganda technologies of russia and China, still citing 1984 like this is 20th century.
Since then russia occupies entirety of Ichkeria, parts of Moldova, parts of Georgia, and parts of Ukraine
What lang grabs does US got since 91?
If you want to go before, russian occupation called 'ussr' and 'russian empire' caused pretty much unparalleled suffering and extinsions of peoples. But also, we are talking about current events. Past brutality is poor justification of current actions
I understand that your girlfriend is a victim of same regime (and I am sorry for that, genuinely), but she may or may not be a part of it depending on circumstances.
Make no mistake - this has nothing to do with nationality or ethnicity, and everything with ones actions. Just answer me this - you say "She’s against Putin". What does it mean? Does she fight with other russian volunteers for Armed Forces of Ukraine? Does she sabotage logistics alongside partisans? Provide intelligence? Does she pay taxes in russia? Like, how is her 'being against Putin' is reflected on reality?
P.S.You nickname says 'Random German', so you should know a thing or two about systemic complicity, clean Wehrmacht myth etc. I would love to hear your opinion on what is her role in it.
You realize that russian govenment was overwhelmingly re-elected each time since inception of russian federation in 1991, and invaded neighbours regularly with land grabs since 94?
