You're missing the point so hard it's comical. Why'd I dislike anyone in the middle east in relation to our rather complicated relationship with Russia? They're not involved in any way.

You'll never understand what living in a country with 5.6 million people right next to Russia feels like. Try your rhetoric on someone from Ukraine and see if that shit'll fly with them. My grandfather survived the continuation war but he lived the rest of his life with grenade splinters in his upper body. He died in '98. That's 44 years of agony.

But hey, please do continue to preach tolerance of the Russian state from all the way over there. You're the expert, after all.

You think the allies should've been soft with Nazi Germany too? The SS? They were fellow human beings after all. Or do you have the balls to stomp that shit to the ground and never let it back up.
