  Ok, so I know you keep repeating the exact same thing every single time, but I do find it absolutely hilarious (like comedic) that a “U.S. bankrolled fascist coup” that led to 108 protestors and 13 government enforcers dying is how you justify 2,000,000 casualties (amongst both sides) in the Ukraine invasion. Like come on dude, that is some insane mental gymnastics. I know for a fact, from Russian immigrants to the U.S., that Russians have an extremely complex view of their country, and socially cannot express anything except nationalist views.

  But my question remains unanswered: why do you support Putin’s extreme measures, yet claim to not support Putin?

    There’s not much in this world worth killing and dying for, but the democratic right of self determination seems to be one of them.

    At least, that’s what I was taught growing up by civics teachers in American public schools.

    You’ve obviously never had to make that choice, but you seem to think you can for other people.

    Are you talking about how Nazi symbology is banned in Russia? What’s censored?

      Wait wait wait, hold up, how did I miss this before?

      You seem to think you can for other people.

      You mean exactly what Putin did ordering his military to cross into Ukraine?

      No, I’m talking about how Vladimir Putin caused so much death, and you cannot dissent from agreeing with Putin’s policies of death.

        Is Putin in the room with you right now?
