Russia is similar in mentality and economics to what are traditionally seen as cultures of “the West”, including the US and Israel, but at the same time, I take it from the context that you said what you said from a Russian cultural perspective. It is an entirely neutral question, with a link to cast a shadow on the similarities. So I ask again, does that include Russia?
sorry for misunderstanding you. i use the term “the west” as a political term meaning the us and their european allies, not a cultural one. i also wanna stress that my distain refers exclusively to the regimes ruling this area, not the common population.
I for one am not fond of the infighting or corruption in any nation right now. Even if you subtract all the things that are unclear (such as the motives to take Ukraine, the extent of guilt of Israel, etc.) due to people waging misinformation wars, it’s still pretty indicative and unsettling to hear certain leaders threaten nuclear strikes out in the open. China is the only Eastern enemy of the West that hasn’t done this habitually.
Does that include Russia?
what has that to do with what i said? or are just another fascist drooling about endangered civilians due to them having the “wrong” ethnicity?
