Oh, wow. You really think this evaluation you just shat out has any weight? This line doesn't work.
FFS. Some boor possibly speaking no language other than English and living possibly on a different continent calling me brainwashed.
I speak (well, stutter a bit) and read Russian and English, understand Belorussian and Ukrainian (no, these are not as close to Russian as many people think), kinda (not very good, but satisfactory) read French, German and, ahem, Armenian, and with heavy assistance from a dictionary understand texts in Dutch, continental Nordic languages and various Romance languages and obviously Slavic ones.
I also study history through documents and facts, and don't watch TV at all, and mostly don't use social networks, at least not to get news.
Now, what we have as you - a person who didn't even understand the references I made.
Just so you'd know, people with some brains and knowledge who defend Turkey being in NATO do not use moral argumentation, because it fails every fucking time. They use practical argumentation along the lines of "the world being unjust", Turkey "being a useful ally militarily", Armenians and Kurds being unimportant or not white enough, "life is tough" and so on.
I can't possibly be more brainwashed than you.
It's obviously not. Not any more than Turkey or China or even Saudi Arabia. Just all other genocidal countries are useful partners.
You don't even get the meaning of the word "genocide". It's not conquest - conquest means subduing a population, making it obey and work for you. Conquest with war crimes involved is not genocide. Genocide means destruction as the goal in itself, and Russia is not doing that. There are plenty of Ukrainians on Russian-occupied lands, there are no Armenians at all on Azerbaijan-occupied lands. End of story.
I hope one day to join the forces of the republic of Artsakh.
You really are disgusting. A person who've found an indulgence in finding one conflict where his polity supports the "good guys" and behaving as if it nullifies everything else, tabula rasa.
Look what's talking.
I don’t even read what you say, just skimming a couple words tells me you are too far gone.
If you don't read, then you also shouldn't comment and make conclusions.
Hey man you are trying to convince me of your stupid ideology that somehow russians are the good guys. Which is just insane.
No, first, in my ideology Russians as the Russian state are not the good guys, while Russian society (like almost any societies) is too complex for such generalizations, second, I'm trying to convince you that real life is not some TV series with one main villain of the episode or one main villain of the season.
The initial comment was treating Russia as if the things the Russian state is doing now were not happening daily in many other parts of the planet.
