This took a weird turn, and I hoped we are on the same page.

I do not support Russian government, and I hoped I made it very clear. All I call for is being honest when making accusations towards anyone.

“Russia is behind this” became a common trope that seemingly doesn’t need any confirmation. Someone called it on Russia - then Russia it is. It’s an instrument of propaganda, and it’s how people are trained to believe whatever they hear.

Cold war is literally both sides, and I don’t know what angle makes it not true. Could you elaborate why you put all blame on USSR, exactly?

There were issues with USSR, and quality of life and level of democracy was generally higher in the US; but what does it mean in the context of foreign relations? Isn’t/wasn’t the US literally the number 1 most invasive country on Earth, with military installations all around the globe and an insane toll of global conflicts and inflicted misery? With all respect, if we compare these two countries specifically, USSR was rather a cute little nuance, and it must take a lot of indoctrination to fail to see it.

Again, this is not to say either USSR or Russia are flawless or even good; a lot of fuckery went on in each, which has caused immense suffering. But if we consider Russian/Soviet imperialism, we should be sure not to apply double standards, or else you’ll risk overlooking dangerous precedents.
