Only perhaps 90-100 million of them are Russian citizens. For many others it's a second language too.


So you gonna assign anyone who happen to have Russian passport as an enemy? Plenty of those are in the west and also have US/Canadian/etc passport

What the fuck is wrong with the world?


Wrong in Russia you mean. If they stop assassinating people, threatening nuclear strikes, conventional attacks, and so on, they wouldn't be anyones enemy.


No wrong with the people of the same mindset as yourself


There are some good people among Russian citizens, abroad or not. Some great people even. Unfortunately they are few and far between and are not representative of the mindset, aspirations and values of their home nation. So saying "the Russians are the enemy" is entirely fair. It is an actively hostile society much like Nazi Germany was during the WW2 and this nitpicking over good individuals is not making the blanket evaluation unfair in any way.

You lost me here. You sound exactly as the people you are trying to put a blame on.


Well I for one didn't start, participate in or have supported the ongoing war of extermination and conquest. And I am not trying to win any Russian hearts and minds; that's one thing about being enemies.


>"And I am not trying to win any Russian hearts and minds; that's one thing about being enemies."

Never mind Russian hearts. Think view might have a problems well beyond Russia.
