If I lived there and my only media source was Russia I'd fall for it, too, I'm sure.
My point - poorly made - was how pointman (and Russians) are the same as the pro-war propaganda westerners who thought Iraq was somehow a threat to western civilization and needed to be obliterated. If you were in support of the Iraq war, but not in support of this invasion, idk, maybe reflect on that.
Right-wing people start wars. Why is that and why don't right-wing people identify what it is in their nature and belief system that leads them to always ####ing up the world and killing people? It's always the same type of guy anywhere in the world from what I can see. Do liberal countries attack other countries and murder civilians? I can't think of an example.

As soon as you start seeing the world in terms of “right wing people” and “liberal countries” you have embraced the binary view of humanity that is at the root of most of the conflicts that seem to divide us.
Russians
Liberal countries
Right wing people
Maybe many of these people can’t be so easily collectivized and stereotyped.
Just my two cents.
