Yes, but he has access to free information, so can easily check what is the current and historical Russian contribution to the world. At that point, siding with Russia is of course an active stance of supporting the crimes of Russia. Patriotism is not a valid excuse if your motherland is always the aggressor.

>is always the aggressor

Well, lets's be honets: not always. But, yes, he's a your typical example of a paid bot or a genuine low IQ nationalist. Quite a few of them here.

Well, true, Russia has a long history so I was overly broad. Aggressor in almost all conflicts is more accurate.

In WW2 it was the second major aggressor of course. WW1 Germany declared war before Russia invaded, so debatable. Wasn't an aggressor in the Napoleonic wars as far as my history knowledge serves me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_Troubles and Polish invasion it the most notable event I guess.

But - sure, in most other cases Russia in either an invader or a part of a larger conflict for influence, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War or Napoleonic Wars.
