So which super-power would you hold up as a model of integrity that Russia ought strive to emulate? The one upon which you are basing your standards of acceptable behavior?
Any one except the thuggish lying mafia state of Russia. It's really not difficult to be better than Russia. Maybe if you get rid of Putin and get rid of the mafia bullshit you'll have a brighter future.
The question I asked wasn't a gotcha, it was an effort to let you realize your own cognitive dissonance - reflected in your inability to answer the question. In other words, if you saw only the behaviors of countries, but without any names associated, would you still judge them the same way? The answer is clearly no.
The irrational level of hate and disdain for a country you know seemingly nothing about is not natural. It's a mixture of endless propaganda, and likely being 'surrounded' (so much as the digital world counts) by other people who also support and encourage such hatred. Again the state of society today is much like a mirror into Germany 1935.
You have no idea what I know about Russia, so do not claim to know that. This is over. Enjoy your declining economy, and your shitty mafia country. FUCK RUSSIA.
Well we can only infer about each other based upon the words of the other, right? You've inferred that I'm apparently an agent of Russia sent to propagandize you in some obscure thread nobody else will ever read. Quite the ego you have there! And I've made my inferences as well. It was an interesting chat and I learned a lot. Thanks.
