This Russian woman is a good illustration of how an average Russian person sees the war and Ukraine. It is a mix of propaganda, ignorance and stereotypes, with little independent thinking. (streamable.com)

"We haven't attacked Ukraine either. We're defending our territory", "Ukraine was ours then [in USSR], too!", "It [Ukraine] was always part of Russia", - this Russian woman is a good illustration of how an average Russian person sees the war and Ukraine. It is a mix of propaganda, ignorance and stereotypes, with little independent thinking.

Fuck me this is depressing. How many Ukrainians have to tell them to fuck off and leave them alone before they realise?

Why are they so deluded? Nobody ever spent a moment thinking about russia, yet they think everyone was bothered.

lol I wish they would fuck off, but just imagine that most people around you (and me) will happily kill and torture anyone if that was allowed (as it is in Russia right now)

Meh, I keep my opinion. How many people supported nazis during ww2? Hmmm about a shit metric ton % of the whole population in Germany. Lots of intellectuals there, and blue collars, all marching together to a Nazi Future.

You can obviously live your whole life happily (I hope so) and never to experience anything like that, but I am pretty sure my nice neighbor would be the first to do a happy dance if our respective countries went to war with each other.

There is no "inherently morally superior" population, most people are as dumb as rocks!

Most people have a lot of talk and balk at any action.

Most people have never been punched in the mouth.

Most people have never punched anyone in the mouth.

The vocal community who says they want war, death, destruction and violence are mostly full of shit and would cower at any real violence.

Okey I am rephrasing: while this grandma looks absolutely insane from outsider's perspective, this grandma is a just a regular grandma brainwashed by propaganda.

I am stating here that given right circumstances, many people would be like her. So "Why are they so deluded?" is nonsense
