> another country that is obviously an aggressor.

If you are not an American then it's quite obvious who is an aggressor in many, many invasions through the 20th (and now even 21st) century.

Care to imagine that same statement but with US?




What I said has nothing to do with the US. Do you think that if the US is wrong in a bunch of unrelated matters, it makes Russia's actions ok?

But even given this... Would you say "Nobody cares what you think about Iraq, except your mother, so don't bother telling me about ..." Yeah it doesn't hold.


Would you be visiting an news site where every piece gravitates towards the many failings of USA in Iraq?

I believe, at most, that you would read it for a week, then give it another week and chuckle, and then abandon it.

Even if all of the articles are written in the good faith towards the facts and all.

In the mid 2000s, I pretty much did this, and I don't regret it. It would have been better for the world if the New York Times and Washington Post had leaned a bit more that way.


There are Russians who do just that, and not an insignificant number, but certainly not enough to affect things. They also do not have any plan even if they wanted to try.
