    No, the helplessness of russians is learned, russians are the same human species as me, the difference is I wasn’t raised to have a learned helplessness about politics.

      What is it? Are they “cowards” or “raised to have a learned helplessness”?

      Either way: You’re spouting racist bullshit. The EU is not at war with Europe and russian civillians don’t really have a say in the invasion.

        bullshit bullshit bullshit

        Dictatorships are nothing new, that never fully excuses a populace, it gives important and necessary context yes but it does not absolve responsibility.

              I agree. But that doesn’t negate my point that the decision to go to war in the vast majority of cases isn’t made by the broad population, but by a minority that has little to lose and much to gain (compared to the soldiers on the battlefield).
