milquetoast for nadota standards mind u
please tell me how this is not rude and passive aggressive lmao
it was an observation am I allowed to make one
i don't know much of anything about recent russian history and i readily admit that. i know a lot about their time in afghanistan, grozny, and ukraine
if he’s not willing to say what he has researched it’s just a pointless comment that puts the burden of proof on me and not him for literally no reason
same
i’ve actually spent a lot of time learning about Russia from the first Tsar until now, I learn Russian on duolingo sometimes, I know enough about it to have an opinion
it’s probably the country I am most interested in
mostly just watch documentaries and read wikipedia
he's not attacking you for having an opinion man anyone can have an opinion at least in the free world. he was curious how you come to view the state in your light
insom the rueb
well having my whole opinion be ignored and disregarded as a “polarized outsider” is kinda annoying
if I am a polarized outsider then we all are
are you ethnically russian or something ■■■?
well your track record here is definitely polarizing (you yell at people a lot and call them ■■■■■■■■ ) and as far as i know ■■■'s family is from eastern europe so to him we are both outsiders
i call yns ■■■■■■■■ because he is
im just not seeing any argument for putin being a good leader beyond “a bunch of russians like him/a lot of the bad things he does are normal in this part of the world”
every terrible leader in history had a bunch of people who liked them
in the early and mid 2000s Russia had something resembling a democracy, look at where they are today
a pariah state with no freedoms of any kind and an autocrat dictator who robs the country blind with his rich friends
■■■■■ what
wtf is "gamut posting" jdance
