    A massive amount of the “Russia evil” narratives is overblown empire propaganda. Russia is one of the biggest opponents of the west and you honestly believe all your precious western media outlets aren’t going to pull out ALL the stops to give Russia the DPRK treatment?

      I’m no cheerleader for the US or the neoliberal bullshit that large segments of the western hemisphere has fallen into, and imo the vast majority of western media outlets barely deserve the name.

      You, however, should inform yourself more thoroughly on the background and shady details of a lot of people who are running Russia these days. I don’t think Russians as a people are inherently evil, but I do think they have had to suffer under the rule of despots and despotic systems far too consistently throughout history, and that Putin is absolutely one of those despots. Try to branch out a bit from your dogma.
